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?

Brief update, I'm still in bed feeling miserable. My throat hurts so much.

Dang dude. My covid experiences were non-events pretty much.

[–] Dave 6 points 1 year ago

COVID tests have been negative. I think this is "just" a cold. I'm in a flu study where they swab and test you for about 15 different flu-like illnesses, but unfortunately they have finished for the season and won't start up again until next year. So I'll probably never know what I've got.

Sorry to hear that! Flus are really bad these days. Can you gargle with salt? It really helps.

[–] Dave 2 points 1 year ago

Oh I forgot about salt gargles, I've just been drinking coke. I'll give the salt a go.

Stayed up till 4am last night. Had a dream about being chased by the monsters from the TV show 'From'.

Was having so much fun.. but then I woke up, and now I'm back to reality. :(

Been resting because I overdid it yesterday making microwave brownies for new neighbours and getting in laundry, so I woke up all at 5am all weak and trembling and poisoned feeling. Seem ok now but I had better have a semi rest day. Frustrating when it's so sunny and nice outside.

On the good side it feels like spring is fully here, I am wearing spring clothes and had no hot water bottle and it's just the best season for those of us with body temperature regulation problems. I love all the flowers everywhere and two blackbirds perched on a tree and stared at me for a minute like they were about to say something. A busy time for them. Must be exciting building a nest etc.
