Morning Mirror is a publication run for the benefit of Bulawayo's only geriatric and frail care home - the Edith Duly Nursing home ++++ 1) Editorial Homecoming The flights to Australia were totally full, how inconvenient of people to travel when we want to go to our daughter's milestone birthday ! It was all the Grannies and Grandpas visiting their children that they have not see since the pandemic!! The reunions at the Perth airport were so touching, some folk had not even met their grandchildren who were now two or three years old!! Tears were flowing everywhere and my heart was filled with happiness. A party in Perth is indeed an experience, it had a country and Western theme. Our son-in-law had really gone to town to make it special for our daughter, and the festivities ceased at 3.00 am. (fortunately all the neighbours attended the bash.) Being used to the good old Iversens tents, this party tent was magnificent, and would have withstood any unseasonal typhoon...there were hundreds of balloons that would have taken Zimbabwe's entire helium stocks. The food was 'out of this world' all night long canapes, served of course by delicious muscle-bound cowboys!! We seem to have more friends and family in Perth these days than we do in Zim, so the few days we spent there were crammed with delightful reunions and much laughter. Of course I had planned to write a big 'Whoop De Do' about the 1000th Edition of Morning Mirror but am having far too much fun!!! ++++ WATCHDOG Christmas is coming it is a time for reunions, bonding, renewing of friendship, the season of joy, peace, love & unity and a common tradition is the exchanging of gifts with our loved ones, friends, workmates and family and having lots of yummy food to eat .... With this in mind Mustard Seed Communities Zimbabwe ,Team Nozizwe and partners are planning a massive Christmas soup kitchen for next month , bringing a traditional Christmas to underprivileged communities in particular the over 1000 plus children we feed at our five kitchens. Ngozi mine , Pumula , Woodville and Cabatsha and Maghobho Here's the catch ...... we need your help to pull this off... we're planning on cooking up a storm for our little friends and elderly folks ...... serving rice, grilled chicken, and salads , with a little something sweet for dessert , cupcakes maybe sweeties and drinks AND THEN...... give each child a little toy/special gift to take home ..... Due to limited storage space for perishables we will accept canned foods, dried foods and other non perishables first from now until December. Then perishable goods such as vegetables and meats can come in a few days before the big day . Donations big and small of any special eats and treats will be most welcome to make this a reality, in the previous years over Christmas we have served up to 700 children and this year we are likely to break that record by far . If you would like to donate to this years soup kitchen please do get in touch ..... #soupkitchendiaries #caringforthemostvulnerable Iris Zemza Nozizwe Mhlanga Nozizwe Mother of Nations Trust Byo +263772241552 irismhlanga@gmail.com ++++ 2) Condolences/In Memoriam/Wreath Funds ++++ 3) Notices and Events ZIMBABWE ACADEMY OF MUSIC & PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO Tel: 2260684 / 2267195 E-mail: music@gatorzw.co.uk Supper will be available before DVD showings but orders for evening meals must be placed in advance.

THURSDAY 24 NOVEMBER ALIEN RESURRECTION (ALIEN 4) Alien Resurrection, also released 25 years ago on 26 November 1997, is set 200 years after the preceding instalment, Alien 3, in which Ellen Ripley sacrificed herself for the sake of humanity. Now, with blood samples taken from her previous life, the United Systems Military on board their research vessel Auriga clone a new Ripley in order to extract the alien queen inside her. But she acquires physical and emotional traits from both humanity and the aliens, making her question where her allegiances lie, and then the aliens break free and begin killing those on board. Along with a crew of smugglers that unknowingly helped in delivering hosts to breed the alien species, Ripley must now escape the perilous ship.. - A welcome return to the series' roots as a wild, reckless thrill ride. [The Movie Report] - As a series of action set pieces, the movie is frequently gripping and always highly watchable. [Variety] - It's tense, mordantly funny, very graphic and bloody, while Weaver is on great form as the clone with some interesting alien influences on her personality. [Radio Times] - It satisfactorily recycles the great surprises that made the first movie so powerful. And most significantly, it makes a big hoot of the whole business. [Washington Post] Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film Members] THURSDAY 1 DECEMBER AT 6.30 P.M. REVENGE OF THE PINK PANTHER Unlike most of the current Thursday films, Revenge of the Pink Panther was not released in 1997 but as far back as 1978, the final on-set performance of Peter Sellers in the role of Inspector Jacques Clouseau. To prove that he still is strong and powerful, Philippe Douvier decides to kill Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau. Once Clouseau's death has been announced, the former Chief Inspector, Charles Dreyfus (Herbert Lom), feels much, much better and is released from the mental hospital. But Clouseau has survived and decides to take advantage of his 'death' to go under cover with Cato (Bert Kwouk) and Douvier's secretary and ex-lover (Dyan Cannon) to find out who tried to assassinate him. - Writer-director Blake Edwards and his collaborators have wisely chosen to give an audience just what it wants and expects from a Pink Panther film - riotous slapstick, spectacular stunts and Sellers in a variety of accents and disguises that give him free rein and lead to inevitable uproariousness. [Washington Post] - Peter Sellers and Blake Edwards clearly have no interest in tampering with their pat, profitable formula. They give us what we have come to expect from the series: a slapstick farce with raucous sight gags, wild chases and crass jokes that must be inspired by Playboy cartoons. [Newsweek] - The inflatable parrot scene is worth five stars alone. This is the last great Pink Panther film, and the most parodic, with targets ranging from Hong Kong kung-fu to The French Connection to The Godfather to Saturday Night Fever and even The Pink Panther itself. It's pure silliness. *****. [Rotten Tomatoes] Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film Members] SATURDAY 3 DECEMBER AT 10.00 A.M. ACADEMY STUDENT CONCERT The Academy's usual end-of -term concert will include performers across a whole range of instruments as well as guests. There will be an interval when drinks, cakes and hot dogs will be available. In the afternoon, there will be a drumming exhibition and concert starting at 3.00 p.m. Admission: US$1.00 THURSDAY 8 DECEMBER AT 6.30 P.M. TOMORROW NEVER DIES Carriages: 8.45 p.m. Released 25 years ago on 9 December 1997, Tomorrow Never Dies was Pierce Brosnan's second outing as James Bond. Media mogul Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce) wants his news empire to reach every country on the globe, but the Chinese government will not allow him to broadcast there. Carver doesn't take no for an answer and plans to use his media empire to fuel flames of war between the Western world and China. Thankfully, Bond is on to the insane news tycoon and travels to China to stop him with the help of Chinese secret agent Wai Lin (Michelle Yeoh). - Brosnan's best Bond, striking the correct balance of menace, thrills and humour, using a chase-movie template to ensure attention never wavers. [Sky Cinema] - A zippy 007 romp that draws as heavily from the Asian action genre as from the formula that has served the series so well for 35 years. [Washington Post] - A strong entry, with Brosnan the comfortable, confident face of the invigorated franchise, reflecting the Connery glory days 30 years earlier. [BBC.com] - So strong is this entry in the Bond series that were someone never to have seen a Bond film, this is probably the one I would use to introduce them to it. [Three Movie Buffs] Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film Members] FRIDAY 9 AT 6.30 & SATURDAY 10 DECEMBER AT 2.30 & 6.30 - SHOWCASE 2022: MOVIES IN MOTION [AT THE BULAWAYO THEATRE] The Academy joins with Just Dance to present Showcase 2022: Movies in motion - Lights, Camera, Action!

BARRY JOHANSSON: ONCE UPON A MANGER Barry Johansson was born in Bulawayo and attended the Zimbabwe Academy of Music where he studied piano with both Derek Hudson and Professor Henryk Mierowski. He also took pipe organ lessons with Olaf Axelsen at Kwanongoma College of Music. He went on to study music and voice at the University of Redlands California and also took private vocal coaching with many acclaimed masters. He has for many years been singing all over the United States performing in opera and as a soloist in many large venues.

The programme of Christmas music will include 'Oh Holy Night', 'Jesu Bambino', 'O Come, O Come Emmanuel', 'Breath Of Heaven', 'Jesu Joy Of Man's Desiring' and 'What Child Is This' as well as audience carols, etc. Admission: FREE - donations welcome!
