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 CHRISTMAS PYJAMA PARADE I love SheHooMustWearKevlar, I really do, but I live in fear of the 'Family Christmas Pyjama Parade' she insists on every year!! It's a quaint idea, I have to give her that, but then perhaps 'Quaint' is not the correct word that might be used to ascribe to our eclectic family.... Now Nana's Tiny Boy looks really cute in his PJs annually, he is skinny and rangy and could actually pass as The Christmas Elf! Tiny Girl has only featured in one of the many Christmas Pyjama Parade Snapshots so far, and obviously she can look too cute for words. But there are some members of the family to whom the word 'cute' cannot possibly be attributed.. For starters, the online shop from whence cometh the Jarmas, is somewhere in the heart of Shanghai where the people are biologically tiny and the PJ sizing is totally crazy!! Some of us (no names mentioned )need a triple X in Texas sizing, but the Shanghai sizing really needs to stretch to Octagon X in order to cater to today's average proportions. And all clothing from this particular delightful Christmas Shop should bear the label 'guaranteed to shrink' !! It's really not a problem I suppose because the seven year old Family Elf fits nicely in Grandpas pyjamas after the first wash!! The labels also bear the fire hazard warning 'Garments must be tight fitting to avoid fire hazards'. And believe me these fashion statements 'fit where they touch'. SheHooMustWearKevlar also has a quirky sense of humour! The first family Christmas colour choice was red and white stripes, can you possibly imagine us clad in very clingy red and white striped little numbers, sitting en masse on the family staircase The mind boggles... Then there was the green and white stripe year, the Christmas ornament pattern year, and 2022 even stretched to the burgundy and white snowflakes of the University of Carolinas football team - the Gamecocks!!! I dread to think what Kevlar Girl has in store for us this Christmas!! ++++ WATCHDOG CHRISTMAS CLOSURE The final edition of Morning Mirror for 2023 will be flighted on 21 December. Our first edition for 2024 will be despatched on 9 January. 'Believe' in the magic of Christmas.... ++++ EDITH DULY NURSING HOME - ANNUAL OFFICE CLOSURE.

WHITE CHRISTMAS And a real 'golden oldie' for Christmas! A successful song-and-dance team (Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye) team up with a sister act (Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen) to perform a Christmas show in rural Vermont. There, they run into Gen. Waverly, the boys' commander in World War II - and become romantically involved! They learn that Waverley is having financial difficulties; his quaint country inn is failing, so what's the foursome to do but plan a yuletide miracle The songs are by Irving Berlin and of course include perhaps the most famous Christmas song of them all! - some Recent Reviews! Great songs, gentle humour and a dose of syrup which is not to everyone's tastes, but worth seeing to keep that Christmas spirit going until next year. [Empire Magazine] White Christmas is the cinema equivalent of an inappropriate festive snog under the mistletoe -- you know you probably shouldn't enjoy it but you just can't help yourself. [The Times] A fun, energetic musical with some impressive dance sequences - you may find yourself humming along to some of the songs. It's a light and entertaining seasonal watch. [Metacritic] Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film Members] N.B. SATURDAY 23 DECEMBER AT 6.30 P.M. TCHAIKOVSKY: SLEEPING BEAUTY Tchaikovsky's ballet in a new production marked the reopening of the historic Bolshoi Theatre after a massive renovation. It also celebrated superstar David Hallberg's Bolshoi debut, the first American principal soloist ever to be hired by the Bolshoi. Grand-scale performance, with Zakharova miraculous in the lead. [BBC Music Magazine] Unashamedly traditional, gloriously staged, with a tremendous cast .. pin-sharp clarity and fine sound .. essential viewing. [International Record Review] This a visually attractive, spectacular production that cleverly utilizes all of the Bolshoi's enormous stage but the performances are also quite special. Once again, Zakharova benefits from having an accomplished partner at her side, this time it is the excellent David Hallberg.

I am 68 years old and living in the Netherlands. I always have lived with a question in my head. Why would a cousin of my father who was born in the Netherlands in 1913 emigrate to Zimbabwe Today a possible answer was revealed. The Dutch government has created a website with all the names of people who were forced to work (Arbeidseinsatz) for the nazis in Germany in World War II. This morning I searched for my family name Schultz on that website. The name Iman Schultz came up with the correct birthdate and place Rotterdam. This could be the answer. For many men the period of working for the Nazis was a traumatic period. When I searched for his name on the Internet, his name popped up on your site. Condolences for his loved ones in 2007. So now my question is, do you have, or can you get contact information of one of his family members for me I would really appreciate this.
