My Big Week: Hedda Oosterhoff

Friday night drinks? Meet me at: Library or Matterhorn.

Where I'll be wearing my new: Vintage dress.

And this weekend I'm planning on: moving out of the city and on to a farm in Horokiwi.

But first I'll need to refuel at my favourite cafe: Maranui Surf Club, Fidels, Lido or Memphis Belle.

Saturday evening. If my dreams came true there would be a gig by: Muse.

But if there's nothing else going on, I'll probably just: go out for an early meal and a drink somewhere on Cuba St (preferably somewhere ethnic) and catch a theatre or opera show afterwards.

Playing on my stereo/headphones right now is: The Black Cat Neighbourhood, Fallulah.

The books I can't put down are: The Sea, The Sea by Iris Murdoch and Birds without wings by Louis de Bernieres.

The TV show I take the phone off the hook for: Nothing at the moment, but it used to be Outrageous Fortune.

The movie I've been dying to see: The Tree of Life, written and directed by Terrence Malick.

A non-cooking Monday night means takeaways from: Dawaat, the best Indian in Wellington and possibly the world.

Or a splash-out Wednesday night restaurant would be: Finc.

* Hedda Oosterhoff is the Pettman Dare International Performance Scholar and AV Artist for the NBR NZ Opera's production of Cav & Pag, opening in Auckland tonight.
