The lovely people who are The Wel­ling­tonista have invited me to join them. And so here I am, strug­gling with my first post.

As someone who works here but lives else­where – let’s hear it for Lower Hutt – this site is the misty win­dow I have peered through to learn what Wel­ling­ton city dwell­ers get the hell up to after dark, but has also poin­ted me to all those day­time delights that are con­stantly spring­ing up round here.

I won’t explain what I’ll be post­ing about because I have no idea yet. I’ve worked in TV-related jobs for most of my career so The Mov­ing Image might be over-rep­res­en­ted. I’ll take sug­ges­tions from the floor for things you want to see more of, but to start off I’ll leave you with a pic­ture of what it looks like out­side my back gate, and heretic­ally sug­gest there might also be some Hutt-cent­ric posts com­ing down the pipe.

By the way, I’m Tom. Not that one, the oth­er one.
