Summertimes.

Summer is in full swing here in ChCh. It has been HOT and dry. Although I have been working lots and lots (a big time for locums), we have taken some time out - we took the kid to the beach for the first time, made pizzas, and checked out a new bar + eatery from Johnny Schwass.




Said eatery - Gorilla, great food, good drinks (if you want some caffeine you have the choice of 'black coffee' or 'black coffee with milk' - nice). Awesome service (nigh on non-existent in Christchurch). SHITE location. In the middle of Ferrymead shops - soulless, miles of carparking. AND sandwiched between the Speights Alehouse and Winnie Bagoes - it feels like you are sitting on Oxford Terrace in what used to be called The Strip - except you don't even have the pretty Avon river to look at. Just asphalt and cars. Not sure what the logic behind the decision to set up here was, Johnny Schwass usually is on the right track with that kind of thing... And that's my rant.
