Rusticity
- The Wellingtonista
- Following the success of the recent Wellington Flickr Group's exhibition at the Paramount, cames yet more photographic goodness from a Wellington flickr-ite legend A Different Perspective (aka Jim Henderson). He's putting on an exhibition of his work down at Island Bay's The Bach cafe, from the 1st to the 30th of April. To get a feel for what you might be seeing, check out his awesome flickr photostream here.

Wellington MTBO Series - {Makara} Peak
- Wellington Orienteering Association
- Brilliant weather in other parts of Wellington today was replaced by mist on the top of {Makara} Peak, and a bit of a breeze buffeted riders on exposed tracks such as Ridgeline. However it was great in the bush and afterwards on the grass as the scores were totted up. Stephen Betts judged things nicely with slightly too many controls for MP Supporters president John Randal to visit - he scored 470 out of a possible 540.

We ask: why are you here?
- The Wellingtonista
- The Wellingtonista would like to know why so many goddamn black-legged jellyfish decided to hang out at Lyall Bay over the weekend. Sure, it was hot, and swimming was a great idea, but for me, not for you creepy wobbly things!

St Michael's & Kelburn Village Fair - March 10 from 10am
- The Wellingtonista
- The St Michael's & Kelburn Village Fair is on tomorrow at 10am. This will be the first one I've managed to catch, so I can't regale you with tales of past experiences, but I can promise you stalls, home baking, junk/treasure, and probably an awful lot of very out of date 2nd hand university text books.
