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 The Lowly Plumbago The Plumbago flower is making a comeback I am glad to say. Once the darling shrub of the nation back in the sixties, the Plumbago flower became rather 'non you' for a number of years .... it was after all that rascal Cecil John Rhodes who adopted it as his favourite flower. The junior school I went to, Coghlan School in Bulawayo, celebrated 'Plumbago day' heaven forbid... fiendish colonialists that they were in those days, and our school uniform was even patterned with pretty little plumbago flowers. If my memory serves me right we were given sprigs of the enchanting little pale blue flower on Plumbago day. Maybe someone with a better memory than mine can supply a few more details. But the Plumbago bush then became rather 'passe" a bit like that ubiquitous rubber bush that always grew around government buildings in the olden days, and so that pretty little flower was seldom seen for a number of years. But I have noticed a very serious re-emergence of the Plumbago in recent times. Everywhere one looks in Southern Africa, there is a profusion of the beautiful little bush, flowering happily at all intersections, in all gardens, and what a welcome addition to gardening world it is once again. I am not sure if it has perhaps been hybridised though, as the Plumbagos I remember were usually in rather stiff formal hedges, and the more modern Plumbago shrub is smaller and softer looking, but I will certainly find a spot for one in my garden as soon as I can. ++++ WATCHDOG ++++ 2) Condolences/In Memoriam/Wreath Funds ALEXANDER - CATHY It is with great sadness that we learnt of the passing away our dear lifelong friend Cathy Alexander. She was the sweetest, most gentle soul. We pray that she has found heavenly peace, and reunited with those who went before her. And that she is enveloped in a peace that passes all understanding. We always thought we would grow old together. Well now we realise she will be with us always, just not the way we had envisaged. Fly high, Cathy Big hugs to all her family, Sue and Dick Durand serendipity@telkomsa.net ++++ ROBIN BEA ELKAIM Beloved mother of Gabrielle and Zachary. Passed away in Florida.

HAPPY VALLEY 'Happy Valley' is a British crime drama television series that won rave reviews and is set and filmed in the Calder Valley, West Yorkshire. Sergeant Catherine Cawood faces a psychological whirlwind when the man who is blamed for her daughter's suicide is released from prison. Elsewhere, accountant Kevin Weatherill plots to kidnap his late father's best friend's daughter to hold her for ransom but the plan goes horribly wrong... - 'Happy Valley' is a quiet, devastating, and ultimately deeply satisfying watch. [Den of Geek] - Sarah Lancashire is perfect in the lead role and should give masterclasses in the art of understated acting. [Daily Mail] - Dark, edgy, and surprisingly suspenseful.. [Rotten Tomatoes] - "Happy Valley" has to be the best police dramas series. The story is brilliant, the casting, acting and direction superb. {IMDb] Admission: US$2.00 ./ $5.00 the series [free to Film Members] FRIDAY 21 JULY AT 6.30 P.M. THE FLAMES OF PARIS - BALLET 'The Flames of Paris' is a ballet created in 1930s Soviet Russia which takes as its subject the French Revolution, including in its scenario the storming of the Tuileries Palace by the revolutionary soldiers and their victorious march on Paris. Revived in a revised version by the Bolshoi in 2008, it has become one of their greatest recent successes as . - Ratmansky has retained that vitality of the original with teeming ensemble dances and friezes of heroic, fist-waving workers. But he's also layered in extra material that moves the ballet beyond its original two-dimensional morality. [Guardian] - Some of this version's solos, especially by the daring Ivan Vasiliev, are astonishing, and the thoroughly rousing rendition of this balletic example of social/political realism has a very strong heartbeat, highlighted by Osipova's dynamic presence. [Amazon] - This rip-roaring show might just make you want to join the revolution. This ballet about political struggle and revolution has more muscle and zeal than a Trump rally! [Evening Standard ] - So while it may not be a ballet for classical purists, it's highly entertaining and is filled with exuberant dancing [Bachtrack] - As young lovers caught up in the tumultuous events of the French Revolution, Natalia Osipova and Ivan Vasiliev display an exuberance so enormous that it blasts from the stage like a barrage of cannon fire, forcing the audience to applaud. [The Telegraph] Admission: US$2.00 [free to Red Carpet Members] FRIDAY 4 AUGUST AT 6.30 P.M. MAYERLING - BALLET Mayerling is a ballet choreographed by Kenneth MacMillan to the music of Franz Liszt, arranged by John Lanchbery, scenario by Gillian Freeman and designed by Nicholas GeorgiadisIt follows the unstable, melancholic Rudolf, Crown Prince of Austria, who, newly married to a suffering Princess Stephanie, begins an affair with the impulsive Mary Vetsera, and makes a frenzied suicide pact with her, carried out in his hunting lodge at Mayerling - The blend of narrative and dance is seamless, and utterly absorbing and convincing. An unforgettable evening, then, on every front, [The Arts Desk] - The ballet grips from beginning to end, fresh-minted in the moment, in the identification of the dancers with their roles. It's an astounding, engrossing achievement, a modern classic that does not wane. [The Guardian] - Sex, violence, power, madness, drug addiction, venereal disease - Kenneth MacMillan's knockout ballet 'Mayerling' has it all. Forty years since its creation, its savage choreography still has the power to shock, as it charts the grubby (true) tale of Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria-Hungary, his mental disintegration and his descent into a crazed death pact with his teenage mistress. [Time Out] - 'Mayerling' remains a vast, astonishing, uniquely ambitious ballet, a sumptuous vortex of self-destruction, it is 'dated' only in its resolute avoidance of black-and-white moralising, and it also, in Rudolf, boasts the richest and most demanding role for a man in any ballet.
