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?

My guinea pig has a nail that's starting to curl and she won't let me cut it. If I can get it cut this week I'll probably need to go to a vet.

My last day at work today and none of my team showed up. The new manager has no idea how much work I'm doing and I'm not sure how the team is going to run without me. At the end of the day it's not my problem and I tried my best to fix it before I left.

I'm really looking forward to relaxing and being unemployed for a few weeks.

Guinea pigs are the most wonderful pets, hope your little one gets her nail sorted.

Morning all, hope everyone had a good weekend.

Another cold night so our grass is very wet atm, that’ll make mowing a job for later. I’d better do something with it before it gets too long.

Not too cold here but foggy again. My grass has slowed down a lot, so haven’t been mowing frequently either.

I did spot some growing in our gutter yesterday. I should probably get up there and clear it out today

I'm pretty sure it's been a couple of months since I've mowed, or at least it feels like it. Grass isn't short but still looks tidy enough.

[–] Floofah@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ours grows in winter, but not as strongly as in the warmer months, so it does make cutting it easier and quicker. It’s just the motivation I’m lacking!!

[–] Dave 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well it's a bit wet, so you probably can't do it today. Might as well put it of until later in the week.

Happy to help 🙂

Mine was about 1/4 moss the last time I mowed it. Looks like about 1/2 now.

[–] Dave 2 points 1 year ago

I have a very nice lawn. I inherited it from the previous person, which in my opinion is the only way to get a nice lawn.

Unfortunately, a nice, thick, lucious lawn has a lot of grass even when it doesn't look too long. Moss sounds so much easier!

Anyone here running an IOS Lemmy app? I’ve got Memmy which is quite good, but doesn’t have Direct Messages to other users. A pretty fundamental requirement I’d think.

Got caught out earlier as someone had sent me a DM, but the Memmy app didn’t alert me, or is it even able to display the message. Had to go to a browser to read and reply. Apparently it’s still in development in the Memmy app.

If anyone has a recommendation for a different IOS app, I’ll be very grateful, thanks.

[–] Floofah@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I found another IOS app Mlem. This does give access to DMs, but the app screen layout and customising is not as nice as Memmy for me, too many large images in the feed. Ah well, not the end of the world!!

[–] eagleeyedtiger 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I’m using Memmy on iPad. I like it but it’s a bit buggy, sometimes it freezes or reacts really slowly. If you find something better let us know!

[–] Floofah@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Tried Lemmios, got the Direct Messages OK, but the settings don’t seem great, can’t change the content listings to New from the default Hot. Think I’ll stick to a browser until Memmy gets updated.

[–] Floofah@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Found LiftOff! another IOS Lemmy app. This one looks good to me. Plenty of customising of the display style, text sizes etc, plus can see my DM’s so I’ll be trying it out.

[–] eagleeyedtiger 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah I've been using LiftOff on my android phone while waiting for Sync, didn't realise they had an IOS app too. I'll try it out on the ipad later today, thanks!

[–] Floofah@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The only thing I don’t like so much is it doesn’t change the post title font color on the feed after I’ve read it. Memmy does that making it easy to see what I’ve alreeady viewed.

Coughing my lungs out today, so working from home. It's not bad other than the fact that all my snacks are in the office.

[–] Floofah@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I had that, caught it at the doctors!! Robotussin helped me, but it was very unpleasant, especially at night.
