Day for Night - MouVery, & Devo - summer's coming..

I'm a chronic night-owl.
I can understand people who get up very early in the morning, but if i did that i'd definitely be going back to bed later on (as later that morning probably).
I jokingly tell people i keep 'Spanish hours':
eat late;
stay up till idiot-o'clock in the morning;
get a few zzz;
get up early-ish (i flag this bit) for brekkie;
have a nice siesta around midday until 2-3 pm :-)

I'd have the driver's seat of my car right back, an unzipped sleeping-bag over me, my head on a cushion, & i'd be fine-thank-you!
People would knock on my car windows just to wake me up!

So, here i am, online @ 4am & not feeling particularly tired - but then, i spent much of yesterday in bed, keeping warm in a house that is cold & uninsulated, so cluttered that the insulators would find it a real challenge, & wondering (yet again) why we in NZ put up with ridiculous power price hikes.


But i'm not in the mood for a whinge, not right now..


I found a music review of 'Devo', whose music i heard a few weeks ago in a tiny bar in Dunedin's main street - called MouVery.  More about Devo here, & discography.
 
MouVery advertised itself as 'probably the smallest bar in the universe' - they could be right!

Eons ago there was a small supermarket next door, & a friend of mine discovered this very narrow niche beside it that had been covered in - you couldn't see anything there from the outside.  He ran a cobbler's shop (footwear repairs to you) over in Frederick Street, just a hop-skip-&-jump away from from this place on George Street (opposite the 'Robbie Burns', our regular watering-hole), & he wanted to open a heel-bar there doing 5-minute repairs to women's damaged high-heels, but the idea fell through.

The next occupant was a little jewellery shop where i got my second lot of ear-piercings.


And now there's MouVery - run by Olivier - & i really really like the place!  
Links include their Face-book page - the little Giraffe was cemented into the brickwork, but some bastard's nicked him..I'd've had it on a steel pin stuck into the bricks with Loctite or something..
I'd spend a whole lot more time there if i wasn't so broke, even though all i drink is coffee & hot-chocolate (my elbow-bending days eventually saw me getting dried out & later going to AA meetings).  Haven't been there for a while - i hope the bubble machine is still blowing bubbles out onto George Street, or maybe that's a summer thing.

And now that we're into September, summer's coming!
We can sit outside, or in the little alley-way seats..
..& enjoy watching some of the world go by :-)
