A Decorator's Nightmare
My darling child 'SHE HOO MUST RUN' and her husband Alex, have a delightful ranch style house on a glorious small holding in South Perth. 2.2 hectares of beautifully manicured rolling green lawns with a small olive orchard on one side and a delightful grove of London Plane trees on another.
Now SHE HOO MUST RUN has an inordinate amount of cats, dogs, birds, and fish. The birds are an assortment of Sacred Ibis (which in Oz have been given the unkind name of Bin Bunnies) Flocks of Ring Necked Parrots, Gallahs, Black Cockatoos and ducks also roost on their small holding. Magpies are there too of course!
She and her husband are an extremely busy couple and Jo invited Lisa, a well know Perth Decorator, to work her magic on their home.
A beautiful living area emerged, most tasteful and pleasing to the eye, and funnily enough the lounge chairs are the exact colours to blend in with the cats and dogs! By accident or design I wonder The bedroom too is exceptionally gracious and enchanting with vast stretch of voile curtains electrically operated of course!
Lisa has worked magic on their home, but Jo must indeed be a Designers Nightmare!!
Thank goodness the fabrics are doggie and kitty coloured as they own the chairs and the bed, (much to Alex's horror)
The glorious expanse of pure white voile curtains has had to be re-designed to make way for the cat flaps! And horror of all horrors the dogs beds do not blend in with the taupes, champagnes and deliciously subtle colours!!
But Jo has it all in hand - newly commissioned decorative, colour coordinated dogs and cats beds are on order ( four for each room of course) to blend in with the delightful new surroundings!
And a cat flap is being manufactured by Master Engineer Alex, to co-operate harmoniously with the magnificent drapes.
All 'tongue in cheek' of course, someone has to be the 'butt' of my editorials.

GIVE THE CHILDREN OF GOOD HOPE A DAY TO REMEMBER FOR OVER
15 YEARS A WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENT, THANK YOU.
WE HOPE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ASSIST AGAIN THIS YEAR!

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.....

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! The programme will include a wide variety of dance plus performances from Academy musicians.
Admission - Matinee: $5.00, Evenings: $10.00
SATURDAY 10 DECEMBER AT 7.00 P.M. 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 Axelson 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. Coming home for Christmas Barry decided it would be a great honour to present a concert in the Robert Sibson Hall where as a young student he performed many times as well as presenting concerts later on in his young adult life.
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 to Kidzcan welcome!
N.B. WEDNESDAY 14 DECEMBER AT 6.00 P.M. TITANIC.
James Cameron's Titanic surely needs no introduction, an epic, action-packed romance set against the ill-fated maiden voyage of the R.M.S. Titanic; the pride and joy of the White Star Line and, at the time, the largest moving object ever built. She was the most luxurious liner of her era, the 'ship of dreams', which ultimately carried over 1,500 people to their death in the ice cold waters of the North Atlantic in the early hours of 15 April 1912.
- A mostly unqualified triumph for James Cameron, who offers a dizzying blend of spectacular visuals and old-fashioned melodrama. [Rotten Tomatoes]
- Titanic is, in the end, and despite being prohibited to those under 12 years old, a film for children of all ages, for those ready to gasp at a parade of wonders and eager to be swept away. [Guardian]
- For all the enormous weight of the special effects, this movie behemoth still has the power to shake us rigid and touch the soul. [The Times]
- It has itself become, like the shipwreck, a cultural monument, only accreting value, not losing significance, as time goes by. [London Evening Standard]
- Cameron stages the sinking with a flawless sense of detail, pacing, import and dread. [Washington Post]
Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film Members]
