Trouble ahead

There may be trouble ahead. I've just discovered that my local bottle shop (tr. off-license) sells beer on tap. Obviously, in the interests of the environment/ recycling bottles, this is a service I have to use. Unfortunately the smallest measure is over 2 pints/ 1.25 litres and it has to be drunk once opened!

Kitchen

I've been tinkering with the kitchen of the house where I am living.

And after

Jo and Paddy

I mentioned Jo earlier in this blog. I know Jo from London squatting days, but she is now married to a kiwi called Aaron and works for a cabinet minister. Nice for me to have a familar face here in Wellington. She is shown here with her rather laid back Irish wolfhound, Paddy Collins Jr.

Bread

Just baked my first loaves in the new house. Some of the best ciabatta I have ever made, despite having to use a very old gas cooker with a leaky door. Very chuffed.

Satellite pic

This is the satellite view of New Zealand today. Another fine day in Wellington (although we did have a load of rain yesterday evening.)

Made me wonder where the equivalent in the northern hemisphere would be. The answer? Just west of Valladolid.
