Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

Cute dog sitting was super tiring but I seem to have bounced back okay with no lasting effects so am feeling pretty good.

Still citrus galore everywhere!

How's that tree of yours doing? Trying to remember what it was, tangelo?

I've been scoffing down oranges and mandarins recently. My eldest decided to stop eating mandarins. I was using them as lunchbox fruit but apparently they were all soft. Well yes, that's the baggy skin so they are easy to peel. Apparently that wasn't a good enough explanation.

They will still eat them at home if I peel and serve them though 🤷

Oh no, easypeel are the best. Sudden childhood flashback to my mum having to demonstrate to me that actually no a sausage roll is not hard crusted dried meat all the way through, only the bits that stick out the ends. 🤦‍♂️

Yep tangelo, still going crazy, so is the mandarin. I was going to cut some fruit for the birds and post a photo friday PSA about feeding windfalls to waxeyes and tui but got too caught up in mundane paperwork. Citrus is great though isn't it, comes along at the perfect time!

When it ends will be the best time for pruning too, to repay the tree with a bit of tlc.
