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 GAUTENG GRAND PRIX! HeeHoo and I were in S.A. recently, ambling casually towards our car after a most successful shopping trip (I love shopping at Cresta Shopping Centre in Northcliffe!) Correction - I was ambling contentedly, but HeeHoo was mumbling grumpily about my inordinate ability to shop, saying disparaging things about the parcels he was carrying. Of course I totally ignored him !! Nothing has changed in our shopping trips for 45 years!! Suddenly a tremendous commotion broke out in the basement garage!! At least 17 motor bikes roared into life and sped deafeningly past us in a furious wave!! It reminded me of the start of the Moto GPs that HeeHoo watches avidly. Either that or the 'Ton-Up Boys' were heading off on their travels or possibly a bank heist maybe even an insurrection or bikers warfare (I have a very fertile imagination!!) Each bike had a large carrier box on the back and we realised, with some relief, that it was in fact the Checkers Sixty60 crew shooting off en masse to deliver their goods in the area, within sixty minutes as promised!! Since Covid, deliveries of food and produce has increased exponentially, none more so that in South Africa. Every food outlet now has a plethora of delivery bikes lined up outside their premises, waiting for orders of pizzas, curries, burgers and fries!! Woe betide you if you are in the vicinity of a Pizza Inn when the rugby starts.. One door closes and another opens. Covid wrought many difficulties, thousands of folk suddenly were out of work, but just as quickly, thousands of people found jobs!! Delivery - the new way to shop, the new way to dine, and suddenly thousands of people were employed, thousands of motor bikes and bikes were purchased, and a strange new lifestyle emerged for countless people worldwide. ++++ WATCHDOG PUBLIC NOTICE - ATTENTION ALL COMPANIES AND INDIVIDUALS PLEASE BE AWARE!

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT EDITH DULY NURSING HOME IS IN NO WAY CONNECTED TO THIS APPEAL, WHICH WE BELIEVE TO BE A SCAM! L HUNT ADMINISTRATOR ON BEHALF OF THE EDITH DULY BOARD MEMBERS 4TH OCTOBER 2023 PUBLIC NOTICE - ATTENTION ALL COMPANIES AND INDIVIDUALS ++++ Hair Days continued Had to reply to your Hair Days item. You never mentioned the days of large clusters of curls on top of one's head, which were stuffed with panties of socks each night with a scarf over and you hoped the style would survive the night!! I used to wash my hair at nit and sleep with a headful of spiky pink curlers, how I ever slept I do not know. As the years galloped on and kiddies came, fancy hairdo's became a thing of the past, however one did become very close to ones hairdresser, then as retirement loomed the hairdresser retired and the hunt was one for a new one. I have a complete classic here in Umkomaas, her name is Venus, her salon is right on the beach, you lie at the basin having a wash and the view is spectacular you could well believe you were on Santorini. Venus is in love with anything Polynesian, so her decor is very Bali. She is 70 but still working, her conversation is a mixture of Afrikaans and English, which she switches about with abandon. Don't go to Venus if you just want a quick cut, it is more like a morning event, with her stopping to greet the fishermen or divers who pass her door, rushing out to pat a passing dog, handing out food to beggars an passing on the local skinner. She is one of a kind and I just love my monthly visits. Cynthia T. ++++ 2) Condolences/In Memoriam/Wreath Funds Paul Greef Tragically killed in Bulawayo on Saturday. Deepest sympathy to Pauline, Mark and little Harper. ++++ Esme Scott The Memorial service for Esme Scott will be held at Southern Comfort Lodge on Friday at 15.30. ++++ Esme Scott Please could you pass my condolences on to Lorimer Scott - his Mum and Dad were well known to us and Esme always a good friend and we rented our premises from her our last offices as Tuckey agencies in the very long ago. She will be well missed by him and also all her other friends I am sure. Well remembered by me and sending loving thoughts. Jean Tuckey N.Z. ++++ 3) CONGRATULATIONS ++++ 4) Notices and Events ZIMBABWE ACADEMY OF MUSIC Tel: 2260684 / 2267195 E-mail: music@gatorzw.co.uk THURSDAY 5 OCTOBER AT 6.30 P.M. HAPPY VALLEY SERIES 2 The second series comes to a breath-taking conclusion but some things are left open-ended for a third series that will be shown early in the New Year! - The action comes to a head with a deadly, gripping game of bluff - and once again, Sally Wainwright has created a tender tragedy that will freeze your blood. [The Guardian] Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film Members] FRIDAY 6 OCTOBER AT 7.00 P.M. FILM PREMIERE: 'HIDDEN WITHIN' DIRECTED BY DANNY LASKER A young woman returns home to Zimbabwe to visit her ill father. A string of local disappearances reveal a frightening secret he's been hiding. Filmed in Bulawayo, the production features a top-class cast with Cape Town-based actress Anja Taljaard, veteran Lionel Strasky and actor and photographer Arthur Falko. Tickets: US$10.00 - available from: Cozim office at Deja Vu restaurant Picassos at Zonkiziswe Bonsa Spar at Hillside Greenvale at Bradfield Still Haven in Suburbs Fazak Orange Elephant Wholesale Beef at Ascot shopping centre Raji Hassamal uniforms (Fife St., opp. City Hall) THURSDAYS 12 & 19 OCTOBER THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY The number 42 is, in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is 'the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything, calculated by an enormous supercomputer named Deep Thought over a period of 7.5 million years' and, since it's 42 years since Hitchhiker's Guide appeared on television it seemed a good time to show it at the Academy. Arthur Dent wakes up one morning to find that a big, yellow bulldozer is trying to destroy his house to make way for a bypass. Twelve minutes later, a big yellow spaceship shows up to destroy planet Earth to make way for a hyperspace bypass. One of few apocalyptic stories where the world is blown up in the first few minutes! Luckily, Arthur's friend Ford Prefect turns out to be an alien and not from Guildford after all, a field researcher for The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. Together they hitch a lift on board a Vogon constructor ship, and with the help of their guide, a Babel fish and of course a towel, they set off to explore the universe together.. - I've always felt the television incarnation of Hitchhiker's should be better appreciated. [AV Club] - Douglas Adams' tale of a wayward Earthling cast into the world of space travel is so great that even its third-best version - after the original radio play and Adams' series of novels - is a classic. [Rolling Stone] - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a wholly remarkable series. In fact it's arguably the most remarkable series ever to come out of the British Broadcasting Corporation. [Den of Geek] - Just brilliant. Follows the book as close as it is possible unlike the horrible movie of 2005. [Rotten Tomatoes] Admission: $2.00 [free to Film Members] FRIDAY 13 OCTOBER AT 6.30 P.M. THE BRENT BIRCKHEAD QUARTET - N.B. TO BE CONFIRMED Saxophonist Brent Birckhead is a 'riveting' improviser (New York Times), award-winning soloist, bandleader and composer with a drive for creative risk and deep respect for legacy. While studying at Howard University, he won Downbeat magazine's Student Music Award for best blues/pop/rock soloist. His playing demonstrates an impressive mastery of styles - funk, r & b, and go-go in addition to mainstream jazz - honed in major D.C. groups like the Bohemian Caverns Orchestra and the Chuck Brown Band. Birckhead has performed and toured with a starry roster of legendary artists, and recent appearances with his band have included stops at prestigious venues including the Blue Note, Hollywood Bowl, Merriweather Post Pavilion and Billboard Tokyo and Osaka. ADMISSION: FREE FRIDAY 20 OCTOBER AT 6.30 P.M. ROCKET MAN Paramount Pictures calls Rocketman: 'An epic musical fantasy about the uncensored human story of Sir Elton John's breakthrough years.' The film tells Elton John's life story, beginning with his early years in Pinner, Middlesex, as a prodigy at the Royal Academy of Music. The biopic also touches on his influential and enduring musical partnership with lyricist Bernie Taupin, as well as his struggles with depression, substance abuse and acceptance of his sexual orientation. - Rocketman ramps the camp up to 11, throws on some sequinned spectacles, and sparks fireworks of pure joy in glitzy song-and-dance routines. [Sight & Sound] - Rocketman manages to be campy and yet sincere, serious and yet ridiculous, profound and yet silly, and quite wonderful. Just like Elton himself. [Chicago Sun-Times - There may be a showbiz biopic to come that matches Rocketman for wit, energy, charm, candour and shameless exuberance. But I think it's gonna be a long, long time. [London Evening Standard] - Pure Elton and pure pleasure. [Metro UK] - It finds strength in texture, beauty in sadness, and an inspired finale in a crackpot arrangement of one of the singer's greatest hits.
