A Night Out

A night out mid-week would normally be a no-no for the weary teacher, but thanks to Waitangi Day, Tuesday evening was practically a Friday. So, after the staff meeting, it was into Wellington for a visit to Circa Theatre. The show was called 'Kings of the Gym', a comedy and an enjoyable one at that. I suspect a sizeable portion of the audience were teachers enjoying the 'PC vs PE' theme set in a New Zealand high school and peppered with topical references to the new curriculum and Novopay.

Ginette McDonald as the PC principal.

Being an early show at six thirty, we were hitting Courtenay Place well before nine. I've always wanted to try The Bangalore Polo Club, and certainly wasn't disappointed. The food was great and the fitout of the old Coyote restaurant is very good - even the loos are cool.

They were playing some great music from the 70s and 80s, making me think I really must hunt out my Supertramp Greatest Hits.
