Continue reading →: Little Bird in a Kowhai TreeI snapped this little bird in the Kowhai tree that is flowering beside the corner of Madras and Kilmore streets. I don’t know my birds, so if you know what it is please let me know 🙂

Continue reading →: Earthcakes and Aftersocks – but open for businessStrawberry Fare are a restaurant that is well known for their desserts – I saw this sign in several spots and decided to treat myself to a latte and slice of cheesecake (well I shared the cake). The cheesecake was very very good! The title of this blog refers to…

Continue reading →: Real Estate Hot SpotI know real estate agents like to exaggerate but I’m not sure the claim of ‘open plan workspace’ is quite what they were intending! And ‘hot spot’ is scarily prescient! Located on Manchester street just in front of SOL Square (which by the way looks fine). I spent quite a…

I can understand why when they see the worst of the damage. I didn’t know what to expect when I did my walk around the city early yesterday morning. I don’t know what I was expecting,…
