Young Jack, 13 and a wheelchair user, it was his first ever swing at our Waipu grand opening. See the story below: It breaks my heart to think that this child is 13 and has never been given the opportunity to play like other kids. Lets change that

Cast: Laure Calamy, Geneviève Mnich, Anne Suarez.
Director: Éric Gravel
A brilliant performance by Laure Calamy as Julie, whose life is a headlong rush from dawn everyday. There are two pre-teen kids who need mustering before she commutes from the distant suburbs to her job in a Parisian luxury hotel, where rooms must be cleaned and rearranged to perfection with precision timing, no matter what appalling state the guests have left them in.
But the harsh reality is that between childcare and travel costs, Julie is barely making ends meet. Added to that, alimony isn’t forthcoming from the children’s father, despite her desperate demands. So, when the possibility of a job more fitting to her skillset and experience arises, Julie hopes to overcome the impossible and wedge extra time into her day to be able to make it to the interview.
"In a knockout performance, Laure Calamy offers welcome visibility to all the unsung women who struggle daily to hold it all together and maintain their dignity, despite the odds." - NZIFF 2022

The leaves change colour and fall from the trees and we’re reminded that Autumn is here!
During the summer months you may have been a bit more flexible with your sleep schedule, because the sun would shine for longer, and you had more energy thanks to the warm weather. However, as the night’s start to draw in and the days get shorter, it’s a good idea to try to stay consistent with what time you go to bed and wake up each day.
A consistent sleep and wake time allows your body to fall into a sleep routine, and aids you to sleep more peacefully.
In 1999, World Poetry Day was introduced, with the aim of promoting the reading, writing, publishing, and teaching of poetry around the world.
It is an opportunity to appreciate the power of poetry and how it can capture the creative spirit of the human mind.
Would anyone know who can replace the seal on my little freezer above the fridge. It's defrosting and needs replacing asap. Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
