Photo by Brendon & Keryn St John’s in the City. Last night we went to a concert held at St John’s in the City here in Wellington. I had got into town early to queue if required but this wasn’t necessary so I joined Keryn and Will at the General Practitioner on Willis Street. Will […]
What’s been going on?
As predicted we have been back to Pepe’s a few times now and they don’t disappoint. I’m sure you wanted to know that. Over the last few weeks, in no particular order: we have had visitors from Brisbane and Hastings stay over (and continue to stay actually – mid-stay I’ll say); I’ve bought a bike […]
Hera in Wellington and out to the Wairarapa
Ever so slowly we are getting to know Wellington and the area better. On Thursday I found somewhere to get my haircut that does a good job and isn’t expensive (well, not too expensive for me). Somehow Swan Barbers had found me on twitter (I’ve never really tried searching in Twitter, I guess you can […]
Ben & Jerry’s Festival 2008
Another weekend another festival. As in the last couple of years we attended the Ben & Jerry’s Festival, held on Clapham Common. Last year we thought that it was getting a bit too hip, too many teenagers (my how old we are now) and not enough of the laid back family atmosphere we had experienced […]
iTunes Festival 2008: Suzanne Vega with Seth Lakeman
Last night we were lucky enough to attend day 22 of the 2008 iTunes Festival being held at Koko. This series of concerts had a number of artists playing for competition winners, no tickets could be bought. This night saw Seth Lakeman and Suzanne Vega on the bill and I had won tickets (Keryn and […]
Suzanne, thanks Ben
One of the guys from work, Ben Hooper, surprised me with tickets to see Suzanne Vega perform at the Pigalle Club in London. It was a leaving present and a chance for a night out, so how could I say no? After a drink in a pub just outside Chinatown we walked to the club […]
What we’ve been up to recently…
Well, lots of things have been happening over the past few months (yes I know it’s been a while, I’m sorry, busy, new role at work, changing blogs and website templates, that sort of stuff is to blame). We’ve been up to Grantham to visit Jenny a few weeks before Isabella was born; we’ve been […]
Because Catherine says so
It’s been quiet here on the Blogging front, possibly a combination of being busy, the onset of winter and the family visits recently. Lets go back through the last few weeks then shall we? This week I was at Leeds on Sunday night so I could be at the LS City Walk Office first thing […]
The roundup
It’s been a busy week just gone. On Tuesday night I went to the Roundhouse in Camden and watched KT Tunstall in Concert. I bought my ticket months ago and Keryn had decided at the time she didn’t want to go so it was just me, my camera and all the other people. It was […]
Mr Blue
I entered a draw to win access to a launch event for Catherine Feeny’s new single “Mr Blue” and found out Tuesday afternoon that I was one of the few invited to attend. Wednesday morning saw me ascending the stairs at Grand central Studios to emerge on the roof terrace. There were free drinks to […]
It’s working
The computer is working again so all is well (though we’ve ordered a new laptop now, for travelling as well as home). The power supply seems to be the faulty part, lucky I had a spare. I went with Ollie to a concert by Feist at Scala on Tuesday night. Sitting outside at a pub […]
Suzanne Vega
Just quickly thought I’d mention we saw Suzanne Vega in concert last night. I’ve been meaning to see her for years but something always comes up when she visits London but we finally got there last night. A good concert, and Suzanne is a funny and interesting lady. There are more photos to be seen […]
