The weekend papers are now interspersed with
open home stuff - things are changing

The Basin Reserve on a very frosty morning bike ride to work

Some delicious wraps I made....and ate in bed. It was cold.

Had a day of training for work at Maranui Surf Club.
It was really pretty and calm at 8am

Drinks at a Newtown local, Bebemos (still not totally sure how to pronounce it).
Good tapas and a sweet outside set up, even when it's cold

I was a wee bit hungover. And this is pretty much
 the face I made when my bacon sandwich arrived at the table.
Oooooooh! 

Checking out a garage sale at the Southern Cross and
spotted these retro scenes on the wall

Went to a new yoga place that serves a delicious
vegetarian meal after class!

Aaaaand the next day I got one of the best burgers
in town. Moderation and all that

Beautiful evening sky, tiny moon

City skyline

A Saturday walk up to the Massey Memorial

This little gem of an Escher print was cheap as
chips at the tip shop!

This friend is called Toby. He let me pat him heaps when I visited his house

My flatmate painted these terracotta pots with blackboard paint and wrote
the names of the herbs she planted - such a neat idea 

Jewels

We've had a run of really nice winter days lately

Had a really nice dinner at a new Spanish place called Basque.
San Sebastian was one of my favourite places in Europe, mainly because
of the pintxos

Perfect Saturday morning coffee in the sun

Love this bottle. Gingerella is also fair trade, organic and
an excellent hang over cure

Celebrating one year since a first date with this dude I kinda
like - with a date night at Chow. We waited ages for a table
and then pretty much ordered the entire menu

Made a really yummy Autumn soup from a recipe I cut out of a magazine
a really long time ago. It was so nice and warming, especially with
parmesan cheese on top

Street art down Opera House lane. Cool to see that some Matariki art
is being added at the moment

Bought a flash new camera! Pretty excited about being able to take some
better quality photos. I'll still use both this one and my old one, mainly
because it's not practical to carry this one with me everywhere, but excited
to experiment - once I know how to use it properly, that is!

Went to a pretty choice pop-up bar, Brooklyn, with a hip hop theme, on a
Friday night. My drink of choice was a Kool Aid cocktail

I love this neon sign at Nikau Cafe

A Sunday walk up Mt Kaukau. Very blustery and chilly at the top,
but great views

A cold, wet Wellington night. And an appropriate
Game of Thrones/beer reference

Morning coffee at Flight. I think this is a coffee
syphon, but I can't be sure. So fancy.

I often have fantasies about working in a book store.
So quiet and warm. So many books.

Pretty excited that Mojo have introduced a smaller takeaway
cup - now my takeaway flat white will actually be a flat white
and not overly milky. Although it isn't any cheaper...

Ok so I thought at the time that this would be an arty shot. But it's
just peanut shells on the floor of a bar after I had a few too many drinks

This however definitely helped after said few too many - the mushroom
pizza is the bomb

A beautiful day for a bike ride around the coast

Gah! So I forgot to take a picture last Monday. It was a pretty non-eventful day, which seems to be when I forget. I've also noticed that as the days get darker, it's harder to find interesting and bright things to photograph. But I am pretty happy that I'm almost half way through my 365 days and I've only forgotten twice. Enjoy this week's pics, peeps!

So many babies in my life right now. None of them are
mine but they are all so delicious. This one is a newbie
and just look at this tiny downy ear!

I took this from the motorway, driving (passengering, actually) back from
a work trip to Palmerston North on a stunning day.

Quiz night! The Dyslexic Brians are a force to be reckoned with - although
we only came fourth equal this time. But we discovered later that at least
one of the other teams was cheating. So lame.

It's Christmas! Oh wait, nah it's only winter this side of the planet.

I was kind of a bit incapacitated by a
hangover on this day, so this is what you get.
My beverage of choice

Went to see a really cool documentary in the Documentary Edge festival
called A Brony Tale. It's about men who like the cartoon My Little Pony.
It wasn't as weird as you might think. Check out the trailer here

A nice warming Indian lentil dal with coconut milk

Fridge love

A much needed mid-week caffeine injection

 

Winter trees

Neat muso photos at a bar near my office

A beautiful day for a bike ride

Playing board games is one of my favourite winter activities,
so I was pretty excited to finally buy one of my favourite games
