OUR GORGEOUS AREA

We live in an amazing area. 

This is not meant to make you jealous, only to show you the beauty of Wellington.

A nossa casa

Aqui, as casas nas encostas têm pequenos cestos em elevadores para carregar comida e pessoas

here's an example of the small private lifts used to carry things and people to the houses on the slopes

Weta Oscars Party!

Em antecipação da noite dos Óscares a Weta organizou uma festa para celebrar a possibilidade do Rise of the Planet of the Apes ganhar o Óscar dos Efeitos Visuais.  Infelizmente nós queriamos que fosse o Potter a ganhar.... estávamos em território inimigo!!!!

So when we arrived this is what was expecting us, a loooong qeueu! Why?

Because of this guy!!!! Everyone was taking photos with him. There should be an official photo of us with it, but I don't have it yet.

Later.

Here's Mr Taylor sharing the golden glow

Trust Astrid and Ivan to find a confortable table in the middle of the crowd. Pure style!
