Do you fol­low us on Twit­ter? A lot of you do. But you might miss our tweets in amongst all your very impor­tant updates from sports­peo­ple, so here’s what’s been going on.

  • We talked about a new Mojo open­ing in the Tele­com build­ing on Willis Street, and what a relief that was since it was lit­er­al­ly tens of metres to Mojo State and Mojo Old Bank and Mojo Bond. @mojocoffeenz very gra­cious­ly replied back that it’s most­ly to serve peo­ple in the build­ing, and invit­ed us in for a tour, which we’ve yet to go for. I’ll try to pin down a decent pho­tog­ra­ph­er from the Welling­ton­ista and see what we can do. I said that I liked Mojo cof­fee but found their bak­ing bor­ing (and expen­sive) and want­ed an inde­pen­dent deli around, and @mojocoffeenz right­ly point­ed out that the start­up costs in the inner city would be huge, and the prof­it mar­gins low. Since then we’ve dis­cov­ered fan­tas­tic muffins at Nook (at the bot­tom of the esca­la­tor going into the State food court) and the amaz­ing cheese scones at Prav­da.
  • We learnt that tourists spend $2663 dol­lars per minute in Welling­ton. We asked you how you’d spend that much in one minute, and appar­ent­ly you’d blow it on tips at The Mer­maid, cup­cakes from Tempt, and order­ing degus­ta­tion menus for all your friends. Nice work.
  • This cat has been hang­ing around my house in Mount Vic­to­ria and I would real­ly like to reunite it with its own­er, as it is very hun­gry and des­per­ate for love, but I already have my own cat, and a bunch of fos­ter cats as well.

  • Speak­ing of cats, we’ve also been pimp­ing out Wild Ani­mals this Fri­day, a par­ty to raise mon­ey for Welling­ton SPCA. You should come along.

  • Ter­ry Serepisos’s house is for sale. Who said mon­ey could­n’t buy taste?
  • And final­ly, we spot­ted this guy in a suit, who got on the bus at the St James, eat­ing noo­dles from a pot­tery bowl with a met­al fork. We weren’t entire­ly sure if he was doing it wrong or oh so right, but the num­ber of retweets we got would sug­gest he’s some­what of a leg­end.
