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.
