I hadn't spotted my pome when I responded to your lovely Morning Mirror! Thanks so much. At Carnegie House we used to put that crisp toilet paper between the keys and the hammers of the school pianos to make a nice jazzy sound. And once in the loos at Shrewsbury Station we spotted grafitti saying "This is Klingon paper. It don't take no S*** from no-one!" Liz Davies +++++++ What memories! My grandparents farm out at Nyamandhlovu with that dreaded long drop at night! Worse, Grandfather would only run the genny until the end of the news at 8.30pm so prior to cut off time we'd visit the loo-from-hell every five minutes to ensure every drop was out before pitch black darkness descended. Still can't believe that at night, they had no outside lights on whatsoever - just the moon. Whoa. Farmers! Annetta Holmes ++++++ A good laugh for people in the over 50 group !!! Also for those who know people like us. WRITTEN BY AN ANNONYMOUS PERSON When I bought my Blackberry I thought about the 30-year business I ran with 1800 employees, all without a cell phone that plays music, takes videos, pictures and communicates with Facebook and Twitter. I signed up under duress for Twitter and Facebook, so my seven kids, their spouses, 13 grandkids and 2 great grand kids could communicate with me in the modern way. I figured I could handle something as simple as Twitter with only 140 characters of space. That was before one of my grandkids hooked me up for Tweeter, Tweeter, Twhirl, Twitterfon, Tweetie and Twittererific Tweetdeck, Twitpix and something that sends every message to my cell phone and ev ery other program within the texting world. My phone was beeping every three minutes with the details of everything except the bowel movements of the entire next generation. I am not ready to live like this. I keep my cell phone in the garage in my golf bag. The kids bought me a GPS for my last birthday because they say I get lost every now and then going over to the grocery store or library. I keep that in a box under my tool bench with the Blue tooth [it's red] phone I am supposed to use when I drive. I wore it once and was standing in line at Barnes and Noble talking to my wife and everyone in the nearest 50 yards was glaring at me. I had to take my hearing aid out to use it, and I got a little loud. I mean the GPS looked pretty smart on my dash board, but the lady inside that gadget was the most annoying, rudest person I had run into in a long time. Every 10 minutes, she would sarcastically say, "Re-calc-u-lating." You would think that she could be nicer. It was like she could barely tolerate me. She would let go with a deep sigh and then tell me to make a U-turn at the next light. Then if I made a right turn instead. Well, it was not a good relationship. When I get really lost now, I call my wife and tell her the name of the cross streets and while she is starting to develop the same tone as Gypsy, the GPS lady, at least she loves me. To be perfectly frank, I am still trying to learn how to use the cordless phones in our house. We have had them for 4 years, but I still haven't figured out how I can lose three phones all at once and have run around digging under chair cushions and checking bathrooms and the dirty laundry baskets when the phone rings. The world is just getting too complex for me. They even mess me up every time I go to the grocery store. You would think they could settle on something themselves but this sudden "Paper or Plastic?" every time I check out just knocks me for a loop. I bought some of those cloth reusable bags to avoid looking confused, but I never remember to take them in with me. Now I toss it back to them. When they ask me, "Paper or Plastic?" I just say, "Doesn't matter to me. I am bi-sacksual." Then it's their turn to stare at me with a blank look. I was recently asked if I tweet. I answered, No, but I do toot a lot." annonymous ++++++ 2) EVENTS HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY The next meeting will be held on Sunday, 17th February.

Raw Adrenaline is gateway to alternative sports like skydiving, rock-climbing, kayaking, MTB, scuba-diving, slacklining, firedancing and abseiling - and any other games that get the blood flowing and the adrenaline going! The RAW vision is based on three key pillars - Enjoy the Sport! Raw supports it's members, and the general public, to play the adventure sports they love by organising the venues, equipment, safety and trained supervision that's needed. This is facilitated through RawFests, which are multi-day, multi-discipline festivals; RawXpeditions - multi-day excursions focusing on a particular sport or destination; and RawEvents which are typically one-day introductions to various sports. Teach the Sport! RAW is passionate about expanding knowledge and promoting awareness of adventure sports, both by training newcomers and kids, as well as honing the skills of the initiated. The RawKnowledge division organises training courses, certifications, workshops, first-aid training, peer-to-peer teachings and, above all else, safety instruction. Respect the Sport! Rock, Air & Water - this is where we play our sport, and RAW believes in respecting these environments and the communities that live there. RawSpect is our conservation and community-outreach program that teaches sportsmen to leave their playgrounds as they found it, and to play responsibly and with consideration to the people who call these habitats their home.

Admission: $3.00 [free to film members BRITTEN: THE PRINCE OF THE PAGODAS - BALLET Friday 15 February in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. Kenneth MacMillan's created his version of Britten's "The Prince of the Pagodas" in 1989 and launched the career of Darcey Bussell, "then a 19-year-old plucked from the corps de ballet by the ailing choreographer, who was smitten with her long-limbed, open and honest dancing, a far cry from the then-traditional Royal Ballet ballerina look". "Sir Kenneth MacMillan's glorious version of 'The Prince of the Pagodas' provides a fascinating and magnificent spectacle of classical dance on the grandest scale. Nicholas Georgiadis's enchanting designs complement Britten's only ballet score by establishing a fairy tale ambience, and Darcey Bussell produces a dazzling performance as Princess Rose. The other principal players are magnificent. A grand achievement." (The Financial Times) Supper available during the interval. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] VIENNA PHILHARMONIC NEW YEAR CONCERT 2013 Friday 22 February in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. The Vienna Philharmonic New Year Concerts originated in 1939, a dark period of Austria's history, and were initially conceived for a local audience as a reminder of better times and a source of hope for the future. Although the programmes are always dominated by the music of the Strauss family (Josef in particular this year), they also often pay tribute to notable anniversaries and this year the conductor Franz Welser-Möst included music by Verdi and Wagner. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Supper available during the interval. CHEERFUL WEATHER FOR THE WEDDING Thursday 28 February in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. "It's a chilly morning in the Dorset countryside circa 1930, and elegant, flighty aristo chick Dolly (Felicity Jones) is getting married in a few short hours. But she seems to be more interested in locking herself away in her bedroom with a bottle of rum than in either of the two men pacing downstairs - her former lover Joseph (Luke Treadaway) and her husband-to-be (James Norton). You'd be forgiven for thinking that you've just stumbled into a lost episode of 'Downton Abbey', with the pastoral period-piece settings, close-ups of servants' bells ringing and the Countess of Grantham herself gazing out the window of a manor house... But it's Jones and Treadaway, both seething volcanoes trapped behind artfully pallid faces, who turn what could have been a candy-coated comedy of manners into a complex, melancholic farce." (Time Out, New York) Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] PUCCINI: IL TRITTICO Friday 1 March in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. "Il Trittico" - the triptych - consists of three one-act operas - "Il Tabarro","Suor Angelica" and "Gianni Schicchi". Although each is wholly satisfying in itself and they are often performed separately, they are skilfully contrasted to make up an invigorating complete programme and are very different - a love triangle with a tragic outcome, a nun with a secret past and an entertaining comedy about a disputed will! Together they make an immensely satisfying evening, especially in this production from La Scala which "brings a fairly traditional approach, and the casting does not disappoint either". Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Supper available during the interval +++++ TREASURE PLEASURES CHARITY SHOP. Our shop is full of Treasures, just waiting for you!

That is neat when we havn't even got there.

J.C. +++++ THE BUTCHER WHO CARES We were very distressed to see hundreds of head of cattle standing in an open feedlot in the broiling heat of last October and beyond; many were on their last legs as a result of the drought and some of the cows had given birth, but not an inch of shade had been provided. So I wrote a letter that Maggie very kindly published in her Morning Mirror no. 506: "October. We call it 'suicide month', when temperatures soar, and every living thing is trying to escape from the broiling sun. No self-respecting farmer would be outdoors minus his hat. But what about the cattle in his feedlots - does he provide shade for them at this time of year? Many do not, when all it would take is shade cloth, wire and a few poles to make the difference between misery and a modicum of comfort. Sure, we're going to eat them and they are there for our convenience, but isn't that all the more reason to treat them humanely?" Well, the farmers/butchers we spoke to just weren't interested. 'No one is going to spend money if they don't need to', 'They don't do that sort of thing anywhere else in the word', 'the cattle are perfectly happy, they don't need shade' - were the sort of comments we heard. One farmer did admit that he does sees his cattle panting from a combination of heat and overweight, but apparently that wasn't a good enough reason to try and make them more comfortable. One of the biggest producers told the SPCA that he might think about it "when he had enough money", but nothing has been done. Then someone took up the challenge - and we think he deserves our recognition and support. He could have done the job cheaply, but Richard Drage went much further than he needed to. Spurred on, he says, by his wife etc. (description of the feedlot) He also cleans out the feedlot daily, and let's his cattle out to graze...(more to come on this) The Bulawayo SPCA has highly commended him for his actions - and to show our support, we've put some photographs of his revamped feedlot outside his shop - the Butchers Shop etc. If the one farmer was right in saying that 'no one does it anywhere else in the world', then Richard Drage has set a very important precedent that could change the lives of thousands of head of cattle in the future. We need to put out the word!

MUNN MARKETING has donated a wide range of newspaper and magazines to the Bulawayo Municipal Libraries and this will be carried out on a regular basis. Mr RAJ MODI, owner of Bellevue and Nkulumane Spars and a member of the Bulawayo Publicity Association, is a man with a great sense of social responsibility. He has recently financed the refurbishment of Mater Dei's intensive Care Unit. The women who are accommodated for a healing time at The Haven, the home for battered women, are extremely grateful to the generous Bulawayo ladies who have donated handbags containing items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, disprin, deodorants etc. Please forgive them if they do not individually acknowledge these gifts, but they are greatly appreciated. CRUSADERS SWIMMING CLUB has offered to assist Council with sprucing up the Bulawayo Pool in Samuel Parirenyatwa Street, by sourcing donations to put up lights in public areas, repaint and generally improve its appearance, as many major swimming events take place at the Pool. Kirsty Coventry is expected to include Bulawayo in her national tour during which she will give talks to young people to motivate them to strive for excellence in their chosen careers. City Council has issued a license to the Natural History Museum to run a tea room downstairs in the Museum, which should be very popular prior to or after attending lectures in the hall, as well as the visitors browsing around the museum. The Association was informed that there has been an increase in attendance to the Museum.
