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?

~~Happy~~ It's Waitangi Day!

Last night my eldest enquired why we don't celebrate Waitangi Day like we celebrate Christmas. Anyone doing any Waitangi Day activities (other than reading/avoiding political news)?

You could check out the Waitangi day celebrations at the waterfront, starting from noon today: https://wellington.govt.nz/news-and-events/events-and-festivals/waitangi-day

And, not to get political (I'm not really qualified to comment on this), but here's some food for thought: https://anaherawoolcock.com/f/why-we-should-avoid-saying-%E2%80%9Chappy%E2%80%9D-waitangi-day

Thanks! As it turns out, the kids don't seem in the best mood, so we will see if we will get there.

Thanks! I wasn't aware, but it makes sense.
