I’m a Harry Potter Fan. I hit up the Elephant House in Edinburgh, visited a few film locations, and I wandered down to see the madness at the final premier. I’ve read all the books, and s...
Organising the Snowbombing adventure for me and ten of my mates was the first big trip I’d organised myself. There are enough trips happening that I was hardly ever required to do much organisi...
Work sent me and two others on a First Aid course, so in case of the Zombie Apocalypse (or your garden variety work place equivalent) we have three persons qualified in preserving life. They say that...
I’ve been London for about a year now, and I hadn’t yet had a chance to see anything more than the outside of Shakespeares Globe Theatre. Mostly because the shows they put on are expensiv...
Went up today. Mostly it’s about the shenanigans that happened at SB12 that probably isn’t appropriate for people I work with and other judgey sorts. If you’d like to read up on the misch...

A while ago, I went to Snowbombing. A festival, in the mountains of Austria. They put you up in an apartment, give you a lift ticket and organise a bunch of gigs with amazing djs to get your dance on...
It was late, some ridiculous oclock in the morning, and I was drunk. Happily drunk. My cousin had had a garden party, and it was lovely. There were fires in handcut gas canisters and fairy lights in ...
Sauze was lovely. The snow was average, and disappearing by the day but the blue skies and warmth made up for it. I made friends with a group of English Rugby boys on a stag do. I threw tantrums at p...
It was freezing, the news had threatened snow, the sky was open, the stars were out, and the wind had a pretty mean edge. And yet there we were, huddled side by side on a concrete doorstep. We’...
Sinter, the tiny little web design company that I run with Liz has had a facelift! It’s been a long time in coming, and in between all the travel and other random design projects we’ve go...
We were in Italy, and the snow was distinctly average. So we took a half day, took the Gondola over to Sestriere, and spent an hour with the dogs learning to sled. Number 96 on The List. It was ridic...
It was a little pub in South West England. A tiny pub, one of those ones with no bar. Instead there’s a room with one wall is covered in handles. You hand someone a glass, and they refill it wi...
This morning started with nosebleeds. Epic ones, complete with gushing blood all over my clean and super white sheets. It was bizarre, and cause for panic, but NHS told me to pinch my nose and wait f...
I wasn’t aware that there were *two* nutcrackers, but there were. We saw Matthew Bourne’s one, rather than the original. It was . . . well, fairly interesting. Different from what I expec...
So, it’s no surprise that I have thing for Invader. I’ve mentioned here a few times (like here). Generally, I have thing for street art, and I’ve loved invader well before I left NZ...
I roasted my chicken on New Years eve. I told my flatmate Duke that when we moved in that roasting a chicken was on The List and that I was going to do it! This year! Yeah! That was in March. Cut to ...
While I was in Dahab, in Egypt, I booked a Bedouin trip into the local mountains. There was a BBQ (BEST mountain food I’d ever eaten, hands down), and we climbed the peaks and watched the stars...
Because this is the first time I’ve been away from home for Christmas with no plans to go back, I thought it would be nice to send my Mother a handmade Christmas Card, with a review of all the ...
So, it’s coming to the end of 2011 and I thought that as blogging + I are on the outs at the moment (I’m just not feeling it, you know?) that I’d do one last post for the year and s...
I’m in Egypt, in Dahab. As I type this, I’m set up in a bar by a lagoon. I’m in a bikini, still slightly wet, having just come off the water and out of a windsurfing lesson. I’...
Chronic Ankle Instability. That’s what the physio said when he told me stand on one foot and I fell over. The reason I’m having such issues with my ankles, that I’ll do something re...
I was shocked at his unexpected attack. He called me weak, he called me spineless. He told me I was only one of the many many sluts who have done what I done. I must be especially transparent, becaus...
I was in Split two days. Two gloriously wonderful days. Split is gorgeous. We camped on a peninsula, with these big great mountains on one side, and a super cute little harbour on the other. I was ha...
We drove from Ljubljana in Slovenia, to Plitvice, in Croatia. It was a bit of a ridiculous trip, and we had issues crossing the border. I shan’t say more than that because it’s not really...
I flew into Slovenia mid afternoon. I was still under the (misguided) assumption that my ride wouldn’t show + I’d have to hitch down to Split to get my flight back to London. So when I wa...
Visited the Tate Modern. It kind of blew my mind. —— Venus of the Rags (by Venere deglii stracci). Untitled (by Robert Morris). Quartered Meteor (by Lynda Beglis). Small White Pebble Circ...
I’m pretty well known for having unexpectedly big nights out. I’m pretty sure it’s London’s fault, not mine. I don’t usually *plan* to have a big one, it just happens. O...
I’m not an art buff, and I don’t know much about art history, either. What I knew about Monet’s Water Lillies was that he painted many gorgeous oil paintings of a water lilly pond i...
In September every year there is The Mayor’s Thames Festival. It’s a giant outdoor arts festival that basically takes over Southbank – and more – down by the River Thames. I w...
