There are very few products for which I have what could be described as “brand allegience”. I’m a die-hard user of #Apple and #Canon but a (small) part of that is that it would be too expensive at this point to replace all my gear. And I’m pretty happy with it all anyway, so there’s no need.
However, I think I’ve discovered the consumerist hill on which I will die, the master whose flag I will hoist in high, and whose product is the only one of its kind I ever want to use: #Welly adhesive bandages.
They’re flex fabric instead of gross plastic, the adhesive actually sticks (even when they get wet) and they have amazing patterns. Plus, they’re marketed as “bravery badges”. Oh, and they come in actual metal tins, the way Band-Aids used to before they went chickenshit and switched to plastic and cardboard packaging.
I know this is all a very specific post, and it sounds like an ad (it is in no way an ad) but I genuinely love them. With as often as I end up with bumps, scrapes, and cuts, I have very strong opinions on what makes a good bandage. As far as I’m concerned, Welly is it.

On the back of Aro Video’s appeal, I once again mourn the loss of the many ghosts of video stores past.
In Wellington my go to was Amalgamated Video and Video Ezy - both close to mum’s with many a school holiday spent wandering the aisles finding something to procrastinate with (before social media it was all books and #movies all the time).
A couple of discoveries that probably informed my future #film watching:
Kuroneko (um … ghost woman, seduces men and then kills them like a cat? YES PLEASE)
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (young Tim Roth and Gary Oldman as the titular pair directed by Stoppard, a major influence on my own plays (another lifetime ago) and the gateway to a whole tradition of absurdist theatre).
Mississippi Masala (that’s me, mum, that’s us on the telly - right there, OH MY GOD WE’RE BEAUTIFUL)
I don’t think any of these are streaming in Aus or NZ and we are all the more poorer for it.
Curious to hear your video store finds and if you’re in #Welly and able, please support your #local video store before it’s gone - https://www.arovideo.co.nz/newsletter/221003-rental.html
