From the first moment wewere pulled into the<br />
suspense.<br />
Islowly slid down into my seatsothatnoone could<br />
see me and creep up behind me ...Iwas really<br />
spooked.<br />
Elizabeth Moss’ portrayal of Cecilia, a woman<br />
tormented by her ex- (and assumed dead)<br />
boyfriend, isvery convincing. She teeters on the<br />
verge ofanervous breakdown for most of the<br />
movie and carries us along into the nightmarewith<br />
her.<br />
The music was sodramatic and racked up the<br />
suspense to another level.<br />
This is apsychological suspense thriller in every<br />
sense of the word.<br />
As we slowly picked up clues as to what was<br />
happening nothing seemed real. The twist comes<br />
right atthe end and leaves usreeling with the<br />
shock of it all.<br />
I’ll need to do acouple of brisk walks around the<br />
block nowsoIcan sleep tonight!<br />

Multiples meet up in domain<br />
AMid Canterbury Multiples MeetUp in<br />
the <strong>Ashburton</strong> Domain at the weekend,<br />
instigated by <strong>Ashburton</strong> mum of oneyearold<br />
twins Kate Anderson, saw six sets of<br />
twins turn out for the event.<br />
It was organised to coincide with the<br />
start of Multiple Births Awareness Week<br />
and was supported by Multiples Canterbury.<br />
Among those to attend was Ms Anderson<br />
and her fraternal twins, Methven’s Kirsty<br />
Saxon editor of Multiples New Zealand<br />
magazine Multiple Matters and mum to sixyearold<br />
twins as well as an eightyearold<br />
daughter, and Mayfield’s Clare Walkerwith<br />
fourmonthold twins and a22monthold<br />
daughter.<br />
Ms Walker, herself a twin, has a twin<br />
brotherwho lives on the West Coast, and an<br />
older sister who has aset of twins.<br />
She said compared to having just the one<br />
child at atime, this time round itwas more<br />
testing with two babies, however she had<br />
great support from within the community.<br />
The neighbours had rallied and given<br />
meals and support to help adjust to the<br />
newborns in the house.<br />
And because there was another young<br />
child in the house, Ms Walker and her<br />
partnerwere eligible for home help funding.<br />
It’s up to you how it’sused whetherit’s for<br />
time out with child minding or for cleaning<br />
the house ordoing the washing, she said.<br />
She also had help from her mother Beryl<br />
and accessed the Multiples Canterbury<br />

the trekking challenge.<br />

and looking forward tochecking<br />
out the unspoilt beauty and sparsely<br />
populated towns of the Far<br />
North.<br />

walking day on the trek, and the<br />
44km distance lined up was ‘‘a bit<br />
of adaunting prospect’’.<br />

joints.<br />

at night, whilethe otherswould be<br />
in a10person tent.<br />

every night, and even though it<br />
will be far from ‘glamping’, we’ll<br />
be well looked after.’’<br />
