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?

Or kingfish, hapuka... that sounds cool, regular fish jumping shows!

Have to admit after a few fish jumping yesterday I had a brief moment of thinking hang on why exactly are good-sized fish trying to escape, but then I remembered sharks don't really want to eat humans.

It doesn't mean they don't occasionally eat one anyway 😆

Shhh ha ha.

They've only killed like 13 or 14 people since NZ started recording it.

Relevant xkcd

XKCD about taking three beach trips instead of two raising chances of being shot by swimming dog with handgun in mouth by 50%, in reference too a beach with a 20% higher chance of shark attacks

Heh. Swimming dogs on the other hand... pays not to get too close. :-)
