Girls night out

Blimey Charlie, Saturday’s Girls Night Out has well and truly thrown me. I feel as though I’ve been pulled through shrubbery backwards and left by the side of the road weeping quietly into my gumboots. I need to harden up.

The Laughing Buddha

Hurray it’s Wednesday which means it’s hump day, and not long to go until the weekend!

A few nights ago my buddy and I went to Sawadee Thai in Ponsonby Road. I was hankering for a good Thai and Sawadee is a bit of a Thai institution. It’s been around for years, and in my opinion still continues to dish up the best Thai in Auckland.

The red shoes

By hokey Auckland, I’m looking forward to the weekend!

Despite the fact that it’s only Wednesday, it’s been a long week (and the weather has been nothing but boring rain) so I’m looking forward to fun times with good company.

The Spring Fling

Golly ain’t it lovely now that Spring appears to FINALLY be here?!

I quite literally have a Spring in my step and want to see fields of daffodils so I can go crazy and run amok in the sunshine. I do feel sorry for all you hayfever sufferers tho.

Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout

I love Tapas.

Sometimes when eating out, I just want to order two entrees instead of a main course, and I think this is why Tapas appeals so much – plus after spending many a hot and hazy summer in Spain, I fell in Iove with the concept of grazing over a shared meal, jug of sangria at my elbow.

So I was chuffed when it was agreed earlier in the week, that my friends and I really fancied a meal of Tapas and some beve’s.

Getting down

Wowza. Choice night.

My friends and I had a merry time at The Ponsonby. What used to be the old Post Office is now set up as a Belgian bistro and stands proudly on the corner of St Mary’s Road. Quite a bit of the original decor has remained and comes complete with high ceilings and a charming 1920s feel. continue reading »

Cocktail Hour

I have many many favourite Auckland bars. If I had to choose which bars I would save from burning down to the ground I would rescue the following….in no apparent order….. continue reading »

Watch this space

Hi there, this is my new site!  How exciting!

Yes, it’s looking rather blank at the moment, but don’t worry the best is yet to come.

Thanks for swinging-by…..actually, given this is a brand new site no one has probably swung-by, and I am probably writing to myself in a bi-polar manner, but hey, at least I am being polite….

Watch this space for updated blogs, articles on dating, friendships and general single-gal observations, as well as pretty images and photos. Crumbs, it’s gonna be choice.

Until then: Go well, Go Shell
