Summer reminisces

What fun things did you do as a child during the summer?  I remember summer days running through the sprinkler in the back yard.  It was enough. To be with my friends, screaming and running through the cold water.  I liked the 4th of July barbecues with neighbors and friends and making home made ice cream in the maker with the crank handle, not an electric maker.  Catching frogs down at the pond.  Yes I helped my brothers catch frogs when I was a kid.  I think my brothers single handedly removed every frog from the pond down the street because to this day, you never here they croaking at night.  We used to feed the raccoon that came around.  His name was Bandit. He would sit outside patiently till you brought him an egg. We would sit outside till well after dark playing through the woods.  The best hide and seek was in the woods after dark.  We never worried about anything. We had a childhood and we loved it. We were lucky, very lucky and happy

Lani Tupu’s new film, The King is Dead

All those in Australia, I hope you will come see this film and report back.  😀 😀

Open inspection at the house-for-sale in the quiet, leafy neighbourhood… Max, science teacher, and Therese, tax accountant, decide that here is the house for them.
 
Unsuspecting, they buy and move in, finding a nice family on one side and, well, “interesting” on the other. But interesting soon becomes loud, and loud soon becomes intolerable and when the intolerable becomes the violent, and the police are powerless to do anything, and the community lawyer suggests ear plugs, Max and Therese are forced to try and solve the problem of the neighbour from hell themselves…and end up with a corpse on their hands.
 
But even that’s not the worst of it, because the corpse from hell has friends…and even worse, enemies…
