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?

It was so warm a few days back we had the air conditioning running for a while, I thought it might have been summer. Nope, it's 16 degrees inside today so definitely still the crazy spring weather.

I’m hoping this is this last coldish weekend. I mean it’s almost December!

Did some tidying up, water blasting, and making the place look nicer as it's looking like there's a good chance we are moving house soon.

I also got Home Assistant OS all set up, and even managed to get a voice assistant set up (sort of). I can talk to it but it doesn't understand me. Raspberry Pi's are a bit low powered, so the local voice to text is pretty slow, if I speak for say 5 seconds, it takes 20 seconds or more to come back to me with a response. And the response is always that it doesn't understand me because the built-in commands are basically just to turn stuff on and off and I don't have anything I want to turn on or off.

It seems our host is having a lot of downtime this evening! Apologies!
