You've definitely been there, Arni, it was the college on Wellington Street.
As ever I find myself having breathing problems there when only listening,
there's something wrong with the air-conditioning, or whatever it is, I'm
not the only one who gets that trouble. There is though a new venue opened
up here, called Cafe Nova, next door to the Princess Charlotte pub, which
although it only does poetry once a month, on a Thursday, seems to be
promising. The crowd there is mostly young and the atmosphere has a certain
'warmth'. I like it and they like me, ancient monument though I am!
