Live by the river: Spending money
http://live-by-the-river.blogspot.com/2012/10/spending-money.html
Live by the river. Sunday, October 14, 2012. Another thing I've noticed recently is that because I am trying to save money so hard for going home, all I want to do is spend it! This month has been a write off anyhow, as I needed to buy an outfit for a wedding I'm going to, but I just seem to keep thinking of more and more things that I 'need'. It reminds me of before I left NZ for the very first time writing (yes - it was writing back then! Two weeks till payday and there is lots more I need yet!

Live by the river: The final hurrah - in for the ride anyone?
http://live-by-the-river.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-final-hurrah.html
Live by the river. Tuesday, October 02, 2012. The final hurrah - in for the ride anyone? And so all good things must come to an end. this blog is on its last legs, but its got three months left in it yet! But it is going to be a wrench, and emails singing my praises make it both easier and harder. However I do remember getting the same from TPK when I left all those moons ago, and I remember feeling the same, so I just have to keep to the path :-). Tuesday, October 02, 2012.

Live by the river: Limbo in October...
http://live-by-the-river.blogspot.com/2012/10/limbo-in-october.html
Live by the river. Wednesday, October 10, 2012. So here I am almost halfway through October and I'm in a weird limbo state. Well not weird, but just definitely feel like I'm in suspended animation. I know that I have shed loads of stuff to do/sort out, but I seem to have decided in an unconscious decision that I'll start all of that in November. Which is also when my whirl of goodbyes also starts, so I know I'm going to end up mega stressed by the time it gets to Jan 2nd! Wednesday, October 10, 2012.

Live by the river: August 2012
http://live-by-the-river.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Live by the river. Tuesday, August 28, 2012. Bit of Damien Hirst. I extended the last Bank Holiday weekend of the summer and went to see the Damien Hirst. Exhibition before it finished. I always think of Eryn when I think of DH (not that I think of DH much to be honest! But years ago we saw his Mother and Child (separated) - essentially a cow and her calf, cut in half and in formeldyhyde. Not one for the veges that one. So there were certainly pieces in this retrospective that he wouldn't have liked!

Live by the river: DVDs of 2012
http://live-by-the-river.blogspot.com/2012/01/dvds-of-2012.html
Live by the river. Sunday, October 14, 2012. And here is the list of all my 'catch up DVDs' of the films I missed at the cinema, or have heard about via other means. I really enjoyed this. A Norwegian film that plays on the 'found footage' approach that Blair Witch used. But what I liked about it was how it took the fairy tale stories of trolls, and applied them to the real world. If a Troll can smell a Christian man, can he smell a Muslim? You'll have to watch the film to find out! I put this on my Love...

Live by the river: Films of 2012
http://live-by-the-river.blogspot.com/2012/01/films-of-2012.html
Live by the river. Sunday, November 04, 2012. Thought it would be good to log which movies I actually make it to at the cinema this year. and thinking about it I might do a separate DVD one as well :-). The best of the three Daniel Craig Bond movies in my book. I went to see this with Lucy when she was visiting me - we were tired after a long day doing fun stuff, so went and collapsed for a couple of hours. This is the latest Pixar movie and I enjoyed it. You know exactly what you're going to get...A doc...

Live by the river. Tuesday, October 09, 2012. As a contrast to 'What I'm finding strange' here are things I'm enjoying :-). Seeing photos of Wellington on Facebook - reminding me of how beautiful and stunning it is (on a good day! All the lovely comments I've had from my friends and family about me returning home.

Live by the river: From the Foo Fighters to Hot Chip
http://live-by-the-river.blogspot.com/2012/10/from-foo-fighters-to-hot-chip.html
Live by the river. Saturday, October 20, 2012. From the Foo Fighters to Hot Chip. So I have now been to my final gig at Brixton Academy :-( . It was the first venue I went to in London (to see the Foo Fighters) and while it isn't the last gig I'll go to (still have one more coming up), it was lovely to go back one last time. It has always been one of my fave venues - an old theatre, it has a sloping floor so it is usually ok to get an ok view, and I've seen so many different bands there:.

Live by the river: May 2012

Live by the river. Monday, May 28, 2012. Getting lost while walking. This seems to be a current theme of mine at the moment and I'm getting fed up with it! I've done two walks in two weeks and managed to get lost on both of them. One of them was my own fault - I've started walking The Thames Path. So I think I have decided I'm going to give the Chilterns a miss from now on. Nice walking they may be, but I can't be doing with getting lost all the time. Oh - and a correction from that 2008 post - t...So to...
