Sunrise over Upper Hutt
There have been some lovely sunrises this week, orange and purple skies showing off the clouds. Pissing down now, mind. But great earlier. #4seasonsin1day
We Are Premier League! (Again!)
Great start to the season for Hull City, totally demolished Man United for a deserved win – hope they can keep this up! Since I’m back into the English football I thought I’d also resurrect my old Fantasy League team name and set up a (fairly small) private league at work. (It makes more sense…
Slice of Heaven
Our old toaster gave up the holy ghost recently and we treat ourselves to a new one. I also decided to splash out on a new bread knife that could actually cope with tough sourdough crusts. It’s revolutionised my toasting habits! Funny how small changes can make a big difference…
Planning for 2027
They are starting to announce bands and standups coming to Wellington next year and I am giving the Visa some hammer getting in quick! Lined up so far: Keeping eyes peeled for more!
AI is a Pain in the Neck

Spud You Like
The Duchess was up for a jacket potato for dinner yesterday but stipulated she didn’t want too large a potato. To ensure we got the portion size correct I did her a line-up to select the perfect size. This worked, though she did spend the evening snacking so I suspect she chose unwisely (Indiana Jones…
Robert Aramayo
Since watching a great film earlier this year about tourettes — I swear, highly recommended — I’ve been interested in the Hull-born actor that played the lead role so convincingly (with a strong Glaswegian accent too). Now forget Hollywood stars or Oscars, he’s now been given the ultimate honour – he’s had a phone box…
The Duchess Watching Rugby
This is how The Duchess spends most of the match when Leeds Rhinos are playing, stood up because she knows it’s lucky and will lead to a try. She also gets up close to the TV for a more immersive experience, and provides a secondary commentary on what’s going on, why the ref is wrong…
