Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that doesn’t justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like a hippo
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how's it going?

Spent a good chunk of my weekend catching up (online) with an old childhood friend, who I lost touch with over 15 years ago. We also played an old-school PC game (Diablo 2) that we played as kids - and it was so much fun. After that, we decided to make this a thing every weekend and revisit some of the old games we used to play back then and relive the good ol' days, back when the worst of our worries were trying to get get good grades... :)

On to the more mundane stuff, I'm happy to report that my spring onions are doing great. They've survived for nearly two months now, on just some water and liquid fertiliser, in spite of harvesting them regularly. I'm never going to buy spring onions from the market again!

there is an incursion of Morning Glory.

Is this the edible variant, ie Ipomoea Aquatica (aka water spinach)?

Omg I remember Diablo! When Diablo 1 came out, my whole flat's social life went on pause until we'd finished it! It's cool that you're reconnecting with your friend.

Spring onions, mmmm.

Nope sadly it's just plain old indica. Neighbour seems to have a patch of it but I can't point the finger too hard since we are the ones who have tradescantia.
