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.
