Drinking ... If it is sunny a few wines over a platter in Prego's courtyard on a Friday afternoon is my latest favourite. The nibbles at Xuxu at Britomart are always delicious, think chilli and ginger fish skewers with lime and coriander and steamed shrimp dumplings with nuoc cham and spring onion oil.
Dining ... I want to get back to Masu at SkyCity Grand Hotel. I can't stop dreaming about their crispy fried squid with green chilli and lime, and their Alaskan king crab leg with smoked wasabi with lime butter. Orphan's Kitchen on Ponsonby Rd is another favourite.
Going ... Most weekends it's back to Waiheke where we'll be pottering in the garden, going for big walks, picnicking on the beach, and eating at our favourite restaurants The Shed at Te Motu Vineyard and The Oyster Inn.
Shopping ... I never seem to have time to shop, but I would love more time in Unity Books, to be able to spend more in Scotties Boutique, and to fossick around stores like Flotsam&Jetsam in Grey Lynn.
Loving ... On the ferry heading to Waiheke. When the harbour is alive with boats and the skyline is glistening in the sun, you can't help but love this great city. And, anywhere I am with friends and family.
