When one has a spare moment or two, it necessitates a frantic dash around the closest supermarket for a spot of "Hunting and Gathering" Now the the use of the word "dash" might not be quite correct as it is not easy to "dash" around at all with most of the extraordinary eclectic shopping carts that festoon our "supermarkets" these days. With the exception of the smart crimson plastic carts at Ascot Spar and the double dekker ones at Solomons, the shopping carts in most Bulawayo supermarkets have to be seen to be believed. If you get one with a complete handle you consider yourself lucky, four wheels are an extra bonus, and rubberised wheels are a rarity !! And so one does not "dash" one probably has a frantic "clunkety clunk" around a store in search of commodities. The hygiene side of these carts too is extremely suspect and it is advisable to carry one's own antiseptic wet wipes with one !! I generally get one of the trollys that has to be pulled rather than pushed and it has such a rickety sideways gait, that a thirty minute truculent trolly trundle is worth an hour in the gym ! There is not much use in taking a shopping list, its a kind of "take what you can find" scenario. And take your BIG cheque book, because in spite of the fact that this "price freeze" was supposed to reduce the prices, every single item in the shops is twice as expensive as it was when the whole debacle started. Everything costs a million dollars or close to it .... Sadly a shopping experience in Zimbabwe leaves a lot to be desired from what we remember before this madness started. The shop workers are disillusioned as there is little on the shelves. They are tired as there are few buses because of the freeze on taxi and bus prices. They have probably had to walk to work for at least a couple of hours and they journey home will be as gruelling, after a days work. Standards have not dropped, they are just not there any more. In several of the supermarkets, shoppers have to climb over trash left on the floor, manoeuvre past empty boxes, cabbage leaves and dirt. Counters are not clean. We do not have the fancy disinfectant wipes that first world shops have. Counter assistants might make a desultory pass over the shopping counter with a dirty rag if one is lucky. Meat, if one can get it which is very very seldom, is not packed hygienically, and drops of blood mingle with the tomatoes and onions as they are thrown into the same cart for the journey to the car. Packets are a thing of the past, shop keepers charge high prices for packets because they in turn paid high prices for them ..... This has been excellent for the environment, but the legacy has been a serious outbreak of gastrointestinal ailments which is concerning the medical profession. +++++++++++++++++++ 2) WEEKLY WATER WATCH PEOPLE OF BULAWAYO, what has happened to us, where is our faith. In the good old days there was always Prays for Rain, Minute silence were everyone stopped what ever and prayed for rain, there was that big pray meeting out at Matopos where the Rain Goddess would pray for Rain. The churches always had prays for rain, what has happened. There is only one person who is going to help and we as the people of Bulawayo seems to have forgotten him. Come on lets all get together and do something. +++++++++++++++++++ 3) NOTICES FALCON COLLEGE "CHRISTMAS IN NOVEMBER" With our Bulawayo Old Folk in mind Please support our Dinner Dance Ball Date: Friday 23rd November, 2007 Venue: Bulawayo Golf Club - Suburbs For more information please telephone Yvonne 011 213 945 or email ythomson@mweb.co.zw.

I stumbled across it today and have spent ages on your website. I was born in Byo in 1944 (my Dad was Rector of the Church of the Ascension Hillside) and left there in 1967 when I got married. I now live in Australia. I spend a lot of time looking at the Zimdays and Rhodesians Worldwide type websites, but most of the memories are not as old as mine, or mostly about Salisbury (always was Bamba Zonke!) so it was absolutely thrilling to read about Bulawayo and to remember all my old haunts! So thank you - I shall keep checking the Morning Mirrors for more trips down memory lane - and by the way, my 37 year old daughter is now the proud owner of my china "Lady" dog from my Lady is a Tramp collection!! Best wishes, and keep up the good work Gen Webb (nee Pugh) +++++++ I am trying to find the where about of Gordon and Barbara Botha, he was Headmaster of Digglefold School in Marondera and moved to New Zealand.

I remember the fish being displayed at the Trade Fair one year and I spent a lot of time looking at it and being amazed at its looks. Since then I have seen coelacanth in the Natural History Museum in London, been on the web to look at pics of the fish underwater, bought a Wedgewood plate with a coelacanth on it, books, DVDs and videos. It is my hobby, looking for coelacanth items such as keyrings and pictures, and all sparked off by the Bulawayo Museum! I would like to do something for the display. Is there anything practical I can do from here? I cannot send money but I can offer support and help.

HEDGEHOGS IN TROUBLE When did you last see a hedgehog? Chances are it was a very long time ago. They used to be a common sight in our gardens during summer, but because they suffer from diseases like cancer and herpes, they are now rare to the point of being almost endangered in Zimbabwe. Lisa Hywood of the Tikki Hywood Trust for Endangered Species in Harare is looking for hedgehogs for her breeding scheme. Like all the Trust's animals, they will be kept in ideal conditions and under constant supervision. And when they are old enough, the hoglets will be released back into the wild. Please ONLY feed the hedgehog on raw meat (pet mince will do) and finely chopped vegetables and only up to 10% of his weight. Pro nutro, milk, cheese and bread etc. are dangerous for them. They are not called hogs for nothing - they love food and will eat themselves silly (and sick) if they get the chance. If you do pick one up, please could you call either Grant and Karin Neilson on 09-283478, 09-60511 or 0912 402 339 or Richard and Bookey Peek on 011 615 582. ++++++++ NATIONAL BALLET HARARE is delighted to bring you an inspiring, uplifting and professional Feast of Dance incorporating Classical Ballet, Tap, Contemporary and Hip Hop FEATURING DANCERS FROM National Ballet Harare June Cloete Matthius Julias Memory Chamunorwa Paul Teasdale AT THE BULAWAYO THEATRE Friday 12 October at 7.30pm Saturday 13 October at 2.30 and 7.30pm Booking opens at the Bulawayo Theatre on Thursday 4 October. ++++++++ CHURCH FETE AT: THE CHURCH of the ASCENSION, Leander Ave.,/ Kent Road, Hillside.

HE WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE WHO HAS SUPPORTED STEVE DALY PLUMBING OVER THE YEARS AND WISH YOU ALL THE BEST. +++++++ POWER NEWS FROM ABUZ One of our Members has recently returned from Switzerland and noted that even though they have abundant sources of electrical power they are still very conscious of the need for conservation Most hotels have sensors which switch off lights and only switch them on again when they detect movement. On his return to Bulawayo he noticed the vast number of lights that were on when power was available - in houses, gardens, driveways etc - with no thought given to conservation In Zimbabwe at present, and for the foreseeable future, we have an acute shortage of power. This is due mainly to the lack of correct and timeous maintenance of the infrastructure as well as not having made provision for increased demand This has resulted in a dependence on importing power from neighbouring countries which has to be paid for in forex Although we have the right to complain that the present situation should not have been allowed to develop, this does not alter the situation. It is surely incumbent on all of us to use the power that we have as sparingly as possible Switch off non-essential lights and appliances which are on standby. Replace ordinary globes with the energy saving type Every little saving helps- as well as reducing your bill it will also help to reduce the frequency of power cuts +++++++++++++++++++ I would like to have news about two chaps who worked with me on the Sunace Mine out on the Queens road in 1952..1954 They were Dennis Greatham who married Yvonne and then worked I believe as a foreman fitter for years with Rhodesia railways in Bulawayo Phillip Cook who married Margaret Tulloch and then worked for the cement works and at sometime later went to Mono pumps in Harare I would like news of the Thompson family who lived out towards the North End in one of the Pisa houses before you came to the police station They were Shirley who first married Noel Kidwall who played in a band and then she married a pharmacist Rosenberg and lived in Johannesburg I believe she has now died but would like to contact him as he may be able to advise where her sister Shelagh is now, I know she married sometime in the fifties but do not know her married name though I believe he was a builder in Bulawayo.

It had been a rainy Spring , and I commented about how good it must be for the crops to have so much rain early in the season . He replied : " No . If the weather is too easy on the crops now , the plants may only grow roots on the surface. If that happens , then a storm could easily destroy the crops . However , if things are not so easy in the beginning , the plants will have to grow the strong and deep roots they need to get at the water and nourishment down below . If a storm or a drought comes , they are more likely to survive . " Now , I look at rough times as an opportunity to put down some roots , to help me weather future storms that may come my way .
