Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

I've just come down with something, it's too early to tell what. I don't like it!

I know it's irrational but it feels unfair to get sick with another thing when you're already got something.

Hope it's not what I had! I'm still not 100%, I can imagine it could be next year before you're feeling better if it's the same thing!

That sounds horrible! I really hope you get better soon.

I deleted my comment because I thought I was being too negative and whiny, didn't realise someone had already seen it. In reality things are better today cos I've been able to keep an anti-nausea pill down (seems counter intuitive that this stuff is in pill form).

In better news a morepork has started hanging out in a neighbourhood tree again, meaning we get sweet sounds for ages at night.

As post author I get notified of replies, and I was already on lemmy and noticed the notification come in as soon as you replied 🙂

I'm mostly down to a lingering cough thing, so not too bad. A bit more tired than usual perhaps, but sometimes it's hard to tell what's normal 😆

Haha reminds me of a post I saw the other day saying how funny it is that the treatment for ADHD is to take a pill at the same time every day

That's really cool. Sometimes we hear them when visiting my mum. Also peacocks, which are a bit... creepier?

That's right, you have the "90 day cough". Has it been more than 90 days?

Peacocks do have that one cry that sounds exactly like a woman yelling "help"!

Nah just a couple of weeks maybe? I hope I don't still have 76 more days to go!

Haha yeah, it's the kind of thing that people don't believe you when you tell them it's a peacock!

True! Until I met them I had always imagined they would have a beautiful "song"...

They also like to take part in the dawn chorus, which is pretty rough if you're sleeping nearby.
