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 think trying to "force" the friendship thing is really hard. I'm no expert on interpersonal relationships, but having a pre-existing shared interest is great for starting the ball rolling.

e.g. I play D&D and have new friends from that, we don't have other things we do together yet, but there could be something there.

You mention books, join a book club, or start one with some acquaintances. Have a monthly meetup to discuss the book and have a nice cup of tea.
