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?
Damn really? I’m a bit further down and we’re looking greener than we usually do at this time of year. Next time I see rainclouds I’ll tell them to head up to you.
Yup, have a look at https://niwa.co.nz/static/climate/smd_map.png?1234 which shows the soil moisture levels.
Okay now I’m confused, I’m up in the red part of that map too but our berms are green rather than their usual brown.
To be fair I was away from te Tai Tokerau for most of the summer so maybe I’d have noticed more if I’d been here.
Huh, strange. I haven’t noticed conditions this bad since a drought on waiheke around 2012/13.
Maybe I’m in a rainshadow. Will have to get someone to take me on a drive. Not that many black crickets this year either.
I really hope the drought breaks for you.
My wife hates the crickets with a passion! Luckily our chickens are very adept at eating them.
I love watching chooks chase crickets and grasshoppers.
