3 Watching: Beckham (Netflix)

As a life-long Arsenal fan I had to work hard at watching the MUFC scenes but I did enjoy watching the human drama that unfolded for David Beckham the person (rather than the brand).

4 Watching: The All Blacks Vs The Pumas

5 In praise of: Wellington's Slow Boat Records

Overtime: The miracles of daily life

"Every moment there are a million miracles happening around you:
a flower blossoming, a bird tweeting,
a bee humming, a raindrop falling,
a snowflake wafting along
the clear evening air.
There is magic everywhere.
If you learn how to live it,
life is nothing short of a daily miracle."

Yoga teacher and spiritual leader Sadhguru

1 The London Underground

Check out these great photos from the 50's and 60's.

2 Star Wars

Love these posters!

3 London

Counting down to when we fly back to London for the Christmas holidays and loving this photo - sums it up!

4 All Blacks

Senses have been boosted by our world champion rugby team who are now home and soaking up the celebrations and adulation. 

5 Cuba Mall

Yes we're back in Wellington for the weekend. Stressful traffic aside it's great to be back in a place with a decent bookshop and record store. First purchase from Slow Boat Records? Audience's Lunch album above, from 1972.

I have visited this site a few times and I always find something new that delights me. Try it if you haven't already and marvel at how great modern technology can be!

2 PLUTO!

No!! Not the Disney character...the planet. Apparently it is one again, as these stunning photos prove conclusively. It sure LOOKS like a planet. 

Again though - technology eh? Wicked!

3 Star Wars - the logo!
This week's Star Wars feature is pretty damn cool - how the logo was designed. I know, perhaps at first glance that doesn't SEEM like such an exciting thing but, believe me, this article is a veritable treasure trove for SW obsessives like me. Take a look! Go on!

4 Beach Boys - How 'bout that Carl Wilson?!
I've been listening to a lot of BB material this week. Here are two of my favourite BB songs with the mighty Carl on lead vocals. What a voice! And so good to see the three Wilson brothers playing together.




5 Bill Murray
I love Bill for the man he is and the man he doesn't want to be. This article lists a few other reasons why I love him.

Overtime: Go The All Blacks
The rugby World Cup is now on and among the many NZ products to hone in on a marketing opportunity is one of our milk companies. It's a pretty cool idea!
