Reducing Condensation(3)-Kitchens and living areas
- Sarah Free
- Small actions can make quite a difference to how dry your home is: put lids on pots, especially if cooking for a long time, simmer rather than boil hard use the kitchen extractor fan if you have one, or else open a nearby window -just a crack is usually sufficient.

Cake, Cronuts and Creativity
- The Wellingtonista
- So in the first of my (intended) weekly reminder of Wellington foodie gems, I’m thinking back to dinner at the new WBC restaurant and bar from the Capitol folks (upstairs on Victoria above Tatsushi), and Saturday’s double breakfast of cake followed by cronut (did I mention the slightly sweet tooth yet?).

Libraries- an under-utilised resource?
- Sarah Free
- I belong to a variety of organisations- many of them not-for-profit- and we are often looking for places to hold a meeting for an hour or so.

Strathmore Community Base- more community events planned
- Sarah Free
- I had the pleasure of meeting with some of the staff and volunteers two weeks ago and popped along today to the garage sale held from 10 am to 3pm. They are doing a lot with the resources they have and they’d like to do more! For a start they are aiming to have a community event every two months. The next one will be something to celebrate women’s lives and contribution.

Kilbirnie shop for sewing and knitting needs
- Sarah Free
- Wellington Sewing Services, in Kilbirnie Plaza (off Bay Road), is a great shop that probably deserves to be better known.

Liftshaft
- Eye of the Fish
- Looks like Luke’s Lane Liftshaft is likely to lay down after a long period of lonesome inactivity. Apparently it is leaning in an alarming manner – anything off vertical rings alarm bells in our vertically oriented city – and this last remnant of the 80s is due to be axed.

Preview: 2013 New Zealand International Film Festival
- The Wellingtonista
- Now, I’m risking the ire of the extremely helpful and generous New Zealand International Film Festival team here, but I’m going to recommend an approach to festival-going that will probably reward you more than it will them.

Shake it out
- The Wellingtonista
- Well, that was an interesting night! I am pretty stoked to live in an old single storey wooden house right now, I tell you. How are you feeling today, Wellington? Have at it in the comments… The post Shake it out appeared first on The Wellingtonista.

Earthquake: over-reaction?
- Eye of the Fish
- Whilst I am fully aware that was a nasty series of shakes on Sunday evening, and indeed over the last few days, I’m very disappointed in the over-reaction of the media to this seismic event. RadioNZ reported that a building in Featherston St had a collapsed concrete facade – I don’t know about you, but I thought “Crikey! If a concrete facade can collapse, then what about the brick facades in Cuba St!” – and so I set off to find out which building had collapsed. As it turns out, none of them.

WAM – Ban, No thank you man.
- Eye of the Fish
- I’ve done a quick google review and I believe what you are about to read is a true EYE OF THE FISH EXCLUSIVE! This week I’ve had the opportunity to go on site and look inside Shigerua Ban’s Transitional (Cardboard) Cathedral here in Christchurch, and I have to say what I’m writing weighs heavily on [...]

Super or not?
- Eye of the Fish
- The news Last week that the Ghuznee St development “Ink” is to go ahead but without the accompanying New World mini-supermarket is probably a good thing. It has taken a long time to resolve itself though, with negotiations taking place over the last few years, and various proposals for different schemes in different forms. At [...]

The statistics back up my manifesto: we need to help young Wellingtonians
- Jack Yan
- One of the things I hear when campaigning is that one should not focus too much on youth, because young people do not vote as much.

New-ish at the Movies: Man of Steel, Everybody Has a Plan and White Lies
- The Wellingtonista
- Man of Steel is a self-consciously epic re-imagining of the Superman story, first told in print in the 1930s and most recently rebooted on screen by Bryan Singer as Superman Returns just prior to the commencement of my reviewing career in 2006.
