TO THINK THAT THE MIRROR IS ONE HUNDRED EDITIONS OLD !!
IT IS AMAZING TO SEE HOW THE MIRROR HAS GROWN SINCE INCEPTION. GROWN IN LENGTH AND GROWN IN CIRCULATION. WE ARE NOW LOOKING AT ABOUT 2300 SUBSCRIBERS !!
HOWEVER IT WOULD JUST NOT BE POSSIBLE TO CIRCULATE THE MIRROR TO SO
MANY PEOPLE WITHOUT THE HELP OF THE ZIMBABWE SERVICE PROVIDERS. HEHOO'S PHONE BILL IS HORRENDOUS ENOUGH MY WITHOUT SPENDING EVEN MORE HOURS AND HOURS SENDING OUT LITTLE GROUPS OF E MAIL ADDRESSES. MY E MAIL PROGRAMME SHUDDERS WHEN I GIVE IT TOO MANY ADDRESSES IN ONE GO, I HAVE TO LIMIT EACH 'BUNDLE" TO ABOUT 25 ADDRESSES AND JUST IMAGINE HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE TO SEND 2300 MIRRORS OUT ON THE UNSUSPECTING AIRWAVES....
SO I NEED TO THANK MY NEW FOUND FRIENDS IN THE E MAIL SERVICE INDUSTRY, PEOPLE LIKE KIRI AT MWEB, GARY AND BRUCE AT GATOR, SHEEBA AT NETCONNECT, ROWAN AT ECOWEB, AND SAMIR AT ZOL WHO ALL ASSIST ME WITH DISTRIBUTION.
THANK YOU GUYS !! WITHOUT YOU THE MIRROR WOULD NEVER HAVE GOT OFF THE GROUND.
IT CERTAINLY HAS FILLED A GAP IN THE COMMUNICATIONS MARKET I MUST ADMIT, AND WHILE MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE ASKED TO BE INCLUDED IN MY ADDRESS BOOK, DO NOT RECEIVE THE MIRROR, IT IS USUALLY BECAUSE OF CAREFUL SPAM POLICIES, WHICH WE ALL NEED TO KEEP US SAFE FROM NASTIES.
OF COURSE THE BIGGEST ACCOLADES MUST GO TO HEHOO, (HE WHO MUST BE OBEYED OF COURSE! )WITHOUT WHOM, THE MIRROR WOULD CERTAINLY NOT BE POSSIBLE. HE HOO HAS ALWAYS BEEN KNOWN FOR HIS FASCINATION WITH GADGETS AND THANKFULLY ANOTHER OF HIS PASSIONS IS "IT" EXCELLENCE. AND SO WE HAVE ALL THE WONDERFUL WIZARDRY WHICH MAKES THE MIRROR POSSIBLE. A DEDICATED INTERNET CONNECTION, THE MOST INCREDIBLE APPLE MACS WHICH MAKE LIFE OH SO EASY IN THE "IT" LANE.
AND APART FROM BEING THE FATHER OF MY CHILDREN, THE SHARER OF MY DUVET (NO DEMOCRACY HERE I MIGHT ADD ) ALSO ENDS UP PROVIDING ALL THESE ELECTRONIC MASTERPIECES, PAYING THE INCREDIBLE PHONE BILLS THAT I AMASS, SORTING OUT MY MANY GLITCHS, SNITCHS AND BITCHES, HEHOO IS MY CHIEF TROUBLESHOOTER, DICTIONARY, MEDIATOR AND MY BEST FRIEND.
EDITH DULY HAS BENEFITTED TREMENDOUSLY FROM DONATIONS MADE FOR ADVERTISING.
THESE DONATIONS MAKE LIFE IN A CARING FRAIL CARE CENTRE POSSIBLE FOR SEVERAL OF OUR PRECIOUS OLD FOLK WHOSE INCOME NO LONGER COVERS THE RISING COSTS INCURRED IN A HOME SUCH AS THIS. THE ALTERNATIVE FOR THESE OLD PEOPLE , WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT WOULD BE TOO HORRIBLE TO CONTEMPLATE.
SO THANK YOU ONE AND ALL AND HERES TO THE NEXT 100 EDITIONS OF THE
MORNING MIRROR !!
There was a clue in Friday's Chronicle Crossword: "What L is for?".
The answer is LEATHER. This reminded me of an alphabet that my
Grandmother used to tell me, but I cannot remember all of it. What I
can remember is:
A for Orses
B for Mutton
C forth Highlanders
F for vescence
L for Leather
M for Sis
P for Relief
R for Mo
U for Mism
Can anybody fill in the missing letters?

MOIRA BRIEL HAS VERY KINDLY DONATED A MAGNIFICENT CHALK DRAWING OF TWO

THANK YOU SO MUCH MOIRA BRIEL. ONE VERY TALENTED LADY !!

Ivan Lazarus
An independent,uncomplaining gentleman gone to rest in his ninetieth
year.We shall miss you'Mr Watches'.Fondly remembered and so sadly
missed by his family,friends and staff.

FRIENDSHIP FOLLOWED.
A COMPASSIONATE AND CARING LADY WHO DIDN'T SEEK THE LIMELIGHT - SHE

WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
GOD BLESS PETE
