I need all the preservatives I can get. 3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there. 4) You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster. 5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers, but nobody bothers to ask you the questions. 6) Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician. 7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.

Breaking News !! Chocolate the Water Mongoose (Atilax paludinosus) In early March a Water Mongoose underwent a little transfer from our town office in Bulawayo, over to us here at the Orphanage. She is a lovely shade of brown, so we called her ........ Chocolate. Chocolate is particularly pleased to have arrived during our lengthy rainy season, as our frog population has overtaken our rat population, providing many a pleasurable snack for our new friend. We built her a small pond which she can often be seen paddling in or busying herself chasing her snacks around & around in it. When she gets bored of playing with her little amphibious morsels.....she devours them. Southern Africa has 12 species of mongoose (Herpestidae). This diverse family of small carnivores includes several species with highly sophisticated social systems. The water mongoose is one of the larger, solitary species, weighing up to 4kg. As the name suggests, it lives close to water, where it hunts for frogs & crabs and is often mistaken for an otter, though it has a shaggier, dark brown coat & a more pointed face. Water mongooses swim well & leave distinctive splayed tracks in riverside mud. They occur in suitable habitats to the east of the region, including seashores, & also penetrate the drier interior along rivers. Bobo the Plump Vervet Monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops) It was Charlie the silent vervet monkey's lucky day on 25 March when Mike, Belinda & Boetie brought him a playmate called Bobo. Staff at the Orphanage looked on, amused, as this rather well fed bundle of fluff slowly made his way from the car park riding on young Boetie's shoulders. And the reason for our amusement? Bobo was wearing a nappy Belinda had lovingly made for him, making life at home a lot more tolerable for one & all. A baby at the time, Bobo arrived at Mike & Belinda's home just before Christmas when a troop of monkeys passed by & he was sadly abandoned. He was discovered frightened & alone by this wonderful family, who felt compelled to take him in & look after him in his early days. They named him Bobo. Belinda busied herself with nappy making & the family all pitched in to raise this little fluffball. He was raised on bottles of warm milk & a variety of fresh fruit & vegetables.

I am now 60 and was at the school back in the 50's and have many happy memories of that time (how things have changed now). One of the memories I have is of having to lead the whole school into assembly as I was the shortest in the school - how embarrassing at the time. Look forward to any news and sincerely hope you are surviving over there with all the current difficulties - my heart bleeds for what is happening over there. My sister Debra lives in Bulawayo (Hillcrest) still (she's 40 and also went to Evelyn). I now live in Auckland, New Zealand and have been here for the last 40 years. Won't be able to make the reunion but do hope whoever is organising it has a wonderfully successful event.

We are immigrating to Australia, but a big part of us will always remain in this beautiful country, which has been so good to us, and where we have lived for most of our lives. I remain the eternal optimist about the future of this country, but in the meantime our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
