Musical Monday: Birthday

So, the Small Girl is three today. We have had a weekend filled with balloons, princesses, dancing and food. I'll tell you all about it when I've recovered (though admittedly I am less tired than I was this time three years ago. I think...)

Musical Monday: She Works Hard For The Money

RIP Donna...

Musical Monday: Eat It Don't Tweet It

I know this has been around for a while, but it's still merits sharing. What did you photograph in the weekend?

Musical Monday: Good Intent

Musical Monday: Gone Tomorrow

Musical Monday: Vagabond

Musical Monday: Girl In Stilettos

Yesterday it stopped raining and the sun came out, and I bumped into lots of people I knew at the Jamoff and although my jam wasn't the winner on the day it was all good fun. What did you get up to?

Musical Monday: The Banana Boat Song

I have had bananas on the brain lately - reasons for which I will reveal tomorrow - and this song going around and around my head. I'm hoping putting it here will exorcise it from my brain...

Musical Monday: Black White & Blue

Musical Monday: Animal

Are you free or are you tied up? Dancing around the living room to this is about the only thing that kept us warm this weekend. What did you get up to?

Musical Monday: What Else Is There?

This is what got me across the finish line yesterday. Here's what you do: run 19km. Untangle headphones while continuing to run. Ignore the pain in your legs. Push play. Listen to this song really earsplittingly loudly. Run a bit more. Watch the 20km sign flash before you. Realise you are nearly there. Remember not to sing along. Beam with endorphins.


How was your weekend?

Musical Monday: Jazmine D.L

Musical Monday: Pokarekare Ana

Happy Waitangi Day chums (please excuse the Air New Zealand branding at the end, this was the best version I could find).

Musical Monday: I Don't Claim to Be an Angel

Musical Monday: The Suburbs

Musical Monday: VCR

Musical Monday: The All Blacks

A week after the final whistle blew, the rugby world cup mania that gripped New Zealand is fading. But this video captures the whole fingernail-biting intensity of the last match - whether you're a rugby fan (or New Zealander) or not...

Musical Monday: Harper Valley P.T.A

Musical Monday: Call Me

Tonight I'm hosting an event with New Zealand chef, author and all-round good bloke Al Brown. I have a morbid fear that I'm going to introduce him to the audience as Al Green - keep your fingers crossed for me that I don't get them confused...



A postscript: Al Brown was great. I didn't get his name wrong, but I didn't fall off the stage or make any faux pas. I may have forgotten to introduce myself, but that's a small matter in the grand scheme of things, isn't it?

Musical Monday: Screems From Tha Old Plantation
