Its quite easy finding idle entertainment in Zimbabwe. We in fact have a tremendous amount of fabulous things to do, everyone always remarks on just how busy we all are in Bulawayo with our really great and fun diary of events. But when one does not feel like going to the theatre or to a night club or restaurant, one can find endless sources of entertainment to occupy a dreary rainy day. For example there is a great game called "looking into the minds of ZESA." Now ZESA is a swear word in Zimbabwe, it is an acronym for Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Commission and it can be used in place of many delightfully satisfying profanities. When one bangs ones thumb with a hammer try swearing 'ZESA" loudly, when one has a fellow running a stop sign, the expletive 'ZESA" is awfully satisfying. The cuss-word "ZESA" is also most useful when one receives one ZESA bill and one is charged $300 for a whole month of no electricity !! Now getting into the head of ZESA is challenging to say the least. They have given us a load shedding schedule and we are happy to abide by their well thought out programme of power cuts. Its taken a lot of thought after all. Imagine those erudite and educated fellows in ZESA house on the top floor. "Well lets cut Suburbs, Hillside and Burnside continually, and lets cut the Old Age Homes and Frail Care centers non stop. We can just visualize the old folk staggering around in the dark trying to find the loo !! Lets cut the western areas too, they are such nice placid people, they seldom complain. And we can treat some of the other suburbs have the odd power cut just to keep them on their toes !! Ah but lets also test their mettle and give them power cuts outside their load shedding schedules, just to keep them up to speed " Now, the game "getting into the Minds of Zesa" is complicated but fun. For example, lets say its Tuesday, now Tuesday evening is supposed to be our load shedding treat, but is it to be or not to be ??? That is the question. When does one do ones laundry ? When does one do ones ironing, do I have time to put the slow cooker on or is it to be a microwave meal tonight??? Housewifely thoughts - they cut us last night (unscheduled) so the chances are we will get a back to back cut this morning, I mean that would be the sensible thing to do would it not ? Lets face it, back to back power cuts are so much more likely to allow for the complete defrosting of our deep freeze after all. So with that in mind, lets crank up the old washing machine and put on the slow cooker this afternoon shall we? It takes a lot of planning, contemplating and conniving to outwit ZESA !! Another great source of entertainment is called "Trying to decipher the hand signals of the police at roadblocks". Now this is a common occurrence in Zimbabwe as there can be as many as four road blocks on a 30km stretch of road. Each police station, even if its five Km from the next, must have a road block, specially on a nice warm sunny day.. Now we are all familiar with the standard police arm gestures, the go, the stop, the slow down, please proceed etc. However the men in khaki and fluorescent yellow have their own intimate and undecipherable gestures. Ooops can I go, must I stop ? Is he waving at a friend perhaps ? Is he swatting a fly? Maybe he has an itch ???? Possibly something in his jacket is bothering him ? When one does stop in exasperation, one is waved on imperiously, and one certainly cannot afford to be confused as there may be a fellow with a gun hiding up ahead behind a bush.. Of course one of our favourite pastimes right now is pothole dodging. HeeHoo has worked out a pothole free circuit from the house to the office, having spent many bumpy hours contemplating the routes and complexities thereof. The amount of rain we have been having has put a serious strain on the road repairers' reserves and as fast as HeeHoo finds a haven road, so does everyone else and then that road will deteriorate quickly too. He has chosen such a circuitous path (warpath maybe?) he now needs his GPS to get to the office !! As for the physiotherapists they must be doing a roaring trade. My neck has been in pothole spasm for weeks now, and I am sure the tyre repair companies are doing a roaring trade. ++++++++ 2) NOTICES AND EVENTS If you have not paid for your advert I am quite sure your conscience will get the better of you someday !! ++++++++++++ Chipangali WildlifeJanuary 31, 2011 at 12:50pm Subject: Valentines Day Special We are having a Valentines Day Special, Ladies if you come wearing red or pink you have free entrance to the park but make sure you bring your loved ones with you!

This performance was recorded live in 2003 in the Papal Audience Hall in Vatican City before an audience that included over thirty cardinals! Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] BERNSTEIN: CANDIDE Friday 4 February in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. - with supper interval. Petroc Trelawny will introduce the DVD. "Candide" was Bernstein's child of sorrow, a Broadway musical based on Voltaire's novel that preceded "West Side Story" and flopped. It was over thirty years before its comic and musical genius were fully appreciated and this concert performance conducted by the composer was recorded in London only a few months before his death. "...the most exciting video I have come across this year." The Guardian Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] PETROC TRELAWNY TALKS ABOUT THE PROMS Tuesday 8 February in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m. After his appearances at last year's Bulawayo Music Festival, Petroc Trelawny is well known in Bulawayo.

I entered from Winnie's Way and in the distance towards Phillips Drive saw a family with three large dogs. They disappeared from view as I turned toward the Matsheumhlope River and sat on a bench for some quiet time. My dog, a cross breed about the size and weight of a Dalmatian, was at my heels. As I got up to go, a Boerbull appeared from nowhere and seized my dog across the back. Two Alsatians also made up the attacking pack but were not as vicious as the Boerbull. The Boerbull would not release my dog but continued the shake her violently. Eventually, my hollering and use of my dog's leash made the attacker release it's grip and the pack disappeared. I was in shock and could not believe what had happened. The thought of rabies, vets bills, and the fate of any smaller dog should it be in the same situation in the future made me turn and follow the pack. The family, out of view behind some undergrowth, must have heard the dog fight and my shouting, but they were casually walking toward their car, a late model single cab silver Toyota. There was a heavily built, balding & crew cut man, a slim woman with thick black hair, a younger woman and a boy of about 10 years of age, who I took to be the daughter and son of the couple. Although they could see me they climbed into the vehicle with the dogs and children in the back tray. I moved toward the vehicle and shouted at them to stop. The next thing I knew was the dogs were off the vehicle and again the Boerbull led the attack, this time seizing hold of my dogs rump. For what seemed an eternity I tried to back away from the attack and eventually picked up my dog to prevent further injury, walking, shouting and crying all the time until I could no longer move. The man who had left his car was by then about ten metres from me but made no attempt to handle his dogs, who eventually obeyed him and returned to the vehicle, which he did as well. I was incredulous. I shouted for him to give me his name and address but he continued to his vehicle, climbed in, and drove off, taking a short cut out of the course onto Phillips Drive. All he had said to me was what did I come back for? My right hand was bloodied from a dog bite, I was limping, and my sweater was in shreds, all of which he could clearly see. Thank you to the doctor and sister on duty at Mater Dei who attended me - I now have had to have anti- tetanus and rabies vaccinations and as I write do not know what damage was done to my dog. If you have caused injury to another, however inadvertent, you should take responsibility - common decency as well as the law requires no less . Children are our sacred trust; what kind of example is this man setting for his children? Such dogs, unrestrained in the back of an open vehicle, let alone on a golf course, are a danger to the public.

We would like to assure everyone that this will NOT be allowed again and that actions will be taken to rectify the lapse in our administration in this regard.
