Good morning Whanau

No one will know what that word means (Unless they Google it xD)

 

[Arantor]

No one will know what that word means

I used to work for a company that was based in NZ and they had Māori speakers and evangelists on staff. I even got the pronunciation down for this particular word (hint for everyone else; the wh is pronounced more like an 'f')

Interesting crossover of cultures there.

Don't get people to start pronouncing stuff like Whakatāne. Yes, it's pronounced as if you're starting to say fuck

I only know some Māori words but am Māori on my mothers side but we didn't grow up culturally or speaking any of the language.

The North Island and South Island say things differently too.

All I know is that you guys call esky’s ‘chilly bins’ (I even read that in a kiwi accent as I typed it hahah).

Oh it's the Australian!

Hide your pavlova's!

I’m still in awe of the Aussie habit of referring to flip flops as thongs. But I’m a Brit so what would I know?

Good morning everyone! How is your weekend going so far?

 

[Reverie]

I’ve had a massive headache. Then I hit my head on the truck as I was getting in - it felt like an explosion in my head. I went to bed and woke up with it worse. Realized maybe part of it is because I had my hair pulled up all night.

Anyways here is hoping the headache will go away. I have plans to spend time with family this evening. I really need to pack or clean before that though.

Tomorrow I’m seeing one of my students perform in The Nutcracker. I’m super excited.

Headaches are the worst! Drink water and take something for the pain. That always works for me.

Yeah I have been. Honestly my water intake has been bad - but I for sure will be drinking lots today! I might set timers for me to down a cup/bottle of water to help me lol

I really need to drink more water and less sodas during the day.

Me too! I like soda with my meals. And I try to drink water inbetween but lately I just don’t drink much of anything.

There's this great water tracking app, I'll have to see if I can find it again. It would ask your body weight, height, age, etc. Then it would remind you every hour or two to drink water. It would use an icon to track and it would gradually fill up as you drank throughout the day.

That's good. I was considering an app - but I was doing good at that point lol. It was when I was teaching online and was able to take more restroom breaks during the work day. Now I really don't get many breaks so I think that's a big reason why I don't drink enough water which is sad D:

I had set an alarm on my phone 2 different points of the work day and I would down a bottle if I hadn't by that point. I also bought a bottle with a tracker "Drink by 9AM" and etc. I did kinda good on that, but man it made me feel like I was drinking too much water.

Hi Everyone. How's your weekend going so far? 😊

Hi Everyone. How's your weekend going so far? 😊

It's going alright. Not too shabby honestly. I need to be working. I went through some books and need to go take some to a book store and sell them... and now I'm back on here taking a break lol. How's your weekend?

Their argument as I understood it was that the thin bit of plastic that goes across and down between the big toe and the other toes is like a thong, if you imagine the gap between the big toe and the others as a butt-crack…

Can’t say I’d noticed it raining here, Brighton’s weather is pretty random, and I’ve been busy doing technical nonsense…
