Fix and Fogg, Wooden Spoons and Little Black Devils…
Some more Wellington artisan products now all available under one roof at Moore Wilson for your tasting pleasure, and more well deserved chocolate accolades for Bohemein fresh chocolates (long time provider at MW). (Detective) Fix and (Phileas) Fogg (around the world in eighty days anyone?) peanut butter might provide the first serious local contender against […]
The New Zealand Fringe Festival
The New Zealand Fringe Festival has been going for a week and it’s got just over two more weeks to run. Sadly, I’ve only made it to two shows so far (because moving house) a pathetic effort really, because there are HEAPS. Cabaret, circus, comedy, dance, music, theatre, visual art – there are a lot of […]
‘Nothing to be Done’ but laugh
Comedian Luwita Hana Randhawa does look a little serious below. She looks like someone who probably doesn’t take a lot of nonsense. Someone who would handle a heckler with a dry, sassy quip that would leave everyone wishing they’d thought of such a line, because everyone has those “If only I’d said that” moments. I […]
NZ’s longest running outdoor cinema

I think we’re pretty spoilt with the number and variety of options frankly. Some that stick in my mind (and I do confess to eating a few, so these truly […]

Mighty Mighty RIP
Not sure quite what to add so just going to post the Mighty Mighty official message here. Wail at will. The ‘Castle that Cares’, Wellington bar Mighty Mighty will be closing its doors at the end of May 2014. The institution opened on 11 November 2006 in a former Pakistani restaurant at the top of […]
Grab yer kilt…
A little birdie told me there’s a Scottish degustation sometime in the near future at the Copthorne Oriental’s One80 restaurant. So a bit of digging around uncovered the menu and price (here) and the date (this Saturday 25th January). Cock-a-leekie soup, haggis, neeps, shortbread and clootie dumplings, just to name a few delights. All matched […]
A bunch of reasons to get outdoors
Look at that weather. Just LOOK AT IT. Woah! We’re going to assume from all the cars parked in Thorndon that you’re already going to Garden Magic events in the dell as part of Summer City,but here are some other things you might wanna consider: Positively Pasifika: The winner of New Zealand Idol is going, […]
