Looking over Worser Bay from Seatoun Heights tonight, just after sunset.
The Vector Wellington Orchestra tonight, with Anne Sofie von Otter. (Posted at interval!)
Hey, look - I’m part of a STELLAR LINEUP of speakers (apparently), on Monday night at Downstage for Pecha Kucha! Far be it from me to make so bold a claim, obviously - but I wouldn’t dare to contradict them. Guess I’d better work on me script, then?
And for some reason, as the mist rolls in, I can’t get Lou Reed’s ‘Perfect Day’ out of my head. From the beach at Seatoun, today.
Highly specific New Zealand road sign, warning of general disturbance ahead. May mean anything from ‘gardening’, to ‘riot in progress’, to ‘road ends abruptly’. Pronounced ‘waaaaah’, and followed by sound of metal crumpling. I love these.
In all my years in New Zealand, I’d never climbed that massive hill at Castlepoint; just admired it from afar at the lighthouse end of the point. No more.
Pecha Kucha Wgtn, 14 Nov 11 at Downstage
People of Wellington! Monday night, Nov 14th! Pecha Kucha at Downstage Theatre - find out more about my ongoing search for New Zealand’s least-known, world-famous Hollywood star; and, a whole lot of other interesting people will be talking, too. Promise! Tickets at the door from 6pm, starts 7:30. See you there…
There’s nothing like an MX-5 for driving in New Zealand. Castlepoint was great today, but the road there & back…even better.
