Happy birthday.
I'm not much of a poster but appreciate well a written blog, Mr Brown. The Discussion that follows is great and much more articulate and erudite than I could be. But I do chime in when I can and it's not too late.
Love the Friday music too. I remember seeing you, Russell, round the Chch traps back in the day (I was the tall drunk fellow) enjoying a vibrant music scene.
Enjoying Capture too, photographic inspiration. -

The Cure concert at the Chch town hall 1980 was amazing. Hard to imagine now, a song like A Forest being top of the charts and on Ready To Roll every week.

Vintage Cuts on RDU is my favourite show. Nice to hear a random selection of familiar tunes. Plus, if we're driving on a Sunday, it's my day to choose in the car (I get three days), which means no ZM puke- the songs are bad but the banter is worse.

We occasionally buy a $25 organic chicken. They taste so good! We (three) can get two meals out of it, a roast and then risotto made with chicken stock. Banfeilds of Beckenham have Westwoods chooks, also at the Deans Bush market Westwood sell direct and you can get frozen seconds cheaper.
Love to get Vic's bread, the ciabatta, either from the bakery in Ferrymead or Taste at Twenty in Cashmere. Dip it in fresh local olive oil- nice and cheap if you happen to have an olive connection. There's a wicked baker at the Opawa market, I think it might be Bellbird, croissants and sourdough.
Opawa market is a good place for veges too. Otherwise Liberty or Piko or if it's too much driving Countdown is the closest.
Coffee beans: Switch- Brighton Up. -

and here is a you tube snippet on the making of the original...
An astounding original it is too. Hard to believe it was recorded first off for Revolver, cos it's a brilliant segue to Sgt Peppers.

Thelma Houston's version is the best by a funky mile. Bass-icly.
