Hello Wellington, You Sexy Bitch

So, I decided to go to Wellington for my birthday last weekend. I couldn't imagine a birthday without a Fidel's coffee...

First stop off the plane:

Oh SO delicious. And free thanks to the beautiful Christie. What a woman.

Then a walk into Wellington from Karori. Could it have been a more stunning day? Check out the snow dusting on the Rimataka's

I got distracted after this over a bottle of wine and some almonds with the Magnificent Michael. What a doll!

Skip a couple of hours and things got a little dark. It might be hard to tell, but that is a Crazy Horse on that glass. Hot damn - I have never had anything less than a stunning night at CrazyHorse the Steakhouse. It is impecable.
Wine, steak, deliciousness followed by afogato. Amazing.
What is not photographically captured is a 10cent kissing party, Mighty Mighty, dancing, cups of tea looking out over Wellington at 5am, a hot girl in my bed and Maranui Cafe for Father's Day.

I'll be back Wellington, to visit, real soon. I promise. xx

Murder

I like this a lot.

Was very confused as I walked down Lambton Quay tonight and stumbled upon this:

There were some other great windows, but this didn't seem like it fit. Apparently it does as per this link from @dubh

Very cool. Great idea. Love you Wellington, gonna miss you heaps.

Confessions of a Coffee fiend - Day 1

Right. This is my diary. My diary of coffee.

I am about to leave my mecca of coffee that is Wellington to move to Auckland and I have to admit, somewhere I have never had an amazing cup of coffee. Ever. Ever.

So this is my ode of Wellington coffee. An entire week devoted to the coffee and some cudos to the places which make me my coffee every day.

Day One - Monday 1st March 2010

Fidels - Trim Flat White, takeaway. 7.45am:

Duke Carvell's Swan Lane Emporium - Espresso. 3.30ishpm

Gonna Miss You Wellington

So it is now quite official and I can tell people.

I am leaving my darling Wellington for the heat and humidity of Auckland. New job with Barnes, Catmur & Friends. Lots of new places to explore and people to meet.

Only problem is leaving Wellington. Going to miss you. Look at how pretty you are:

Swoon.

Inner City Living

How cute is this? Just because you live in an apartment doesn't mean you can't have cats.

How awesome are these 2? Hanging on the ledge. Coolest cats on Cuba.
