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?
I’m on kids today, though most of the COVID symptoms are gone now.
This morning we had a big lego session. A while back I bought 10kg of lego off trademe and I’m slowly sorting it all while the kids play.
I remember what an overwhelming job it was when I started, it seemed almost every piece was different to each other. Online guides would say things like “start by sorting all the bricks into a pile” and I had no idea if this piece or that one counted as a brick or not. I’ve managed to sort 70% of it now though.
Wow 10kg is a lot. I had a similar exercise when I moved into my house and my parents took the opportunity to dump all my childhood stuff on me to get it out of their place. I didn’t have quite that much lego but still a fair bit. Sorting out by colour first worked well for me because I had a few quite distinct sets.
This lego was picked through by resellers so had lots of partial sets and no instruction books. It sounds like a lot but the box it came in wasn’t all that big. I’d say smaller than a 50cm cube.
I haven’t sorted by colour because I wanted to get the different shapes for building things and I knew I wouldn’t have enough containers for splitting by shape as well as colour, I’ve over time worked out which pieces are common and pulled those out, with more unique pieces left to be sorted along with some pre-assebled stuff I don’t want to disassemble before identifying the set. There ae still heaps of tiny pieces to sort through too.
Couldn’t sleep last night with the southerly going mental. Enjoying the day in bed to be honest!
Yeah, been some pretty strong winds the last week or so aye. Had to put up some wind netting in the garden to help the wee seedlings out a bit.
