MORNING MIRROR EDITION 153 4 September 2005 MORNING MIRROR WEBSITE http://www.morningmirror.africanherd.com DUE TO THE HORRENDOUS RISE IN THE COST OF LIVING, THE EDITH DULY NURSING HOME IS EMBARKING ON AN EXTENSIVE FUND RAISING DRIVE.

If my body was a car, this is the time I would be thinking about trading it in for a newer model. I've got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish and my paint job is getting a little dull, but that's not the worst of it. My fenders are too wide to be considered stylish. They were once as sleek as a little MG; now they look more like an old Buick. My seat cushions have split open at the seams. My seats are sagging. Seat belts? I gave up all belts when Baker's Inn opened a shop in my neighbourhood! Air bag's? Forget it. The only bags I have these days are under my eyes. Not counting the saddlebags, of course. I have soooooo many miles on my odometer. Sure, I've been many places and seen many things, but when's the last time an appraiser factored life experiences against depreciation? My headlights are out of focus and it's especially hard to see things up close. My traction is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather. My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins. It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed. My fuel rate burns inefficiently. But here's the worst of it - almost every time I sneeze, cough or sputter . either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires.

ON THE SUBJECT OF LOO ROLLS The Americans call our loo rolls "John Wayne's" as they are rough, tough and take s--it from no one. C AND G W. ++++++ Had a good laugh about the bogrolls. When we first came to Rhodesia in 57 we stayed in a kind of boarding house and they used Bronco, surely the lowest form of life. When we left in '93 they had the re- cycled cementbags and they gave you barnacles on your butt. RU AND ALIE ++++++++ TIDBITS I had two really magic moments today, which I thought I'd share with you. Spring is in the air, and it was lovely to stand in the garden in the cool, early hours of the day (with my eyes closed so as not to see the browning lawn) and smell the lovely smells of orange blossom, and jasmine. They waft thro' the house all day - and night - on every passing breeze. And later on, to discover that growing old is truly wonderful - on what else could I possibly blame the fact that I forgot to add 15mls baking powder to my mixture, and the resultant 'cake' looked like two over-sized pancakes! V.K. ++++++ HAPPY IN ZIM !! 1. A Vienna sausage costs more that a three bedroom house cost 25 years ago 2. Fuel has increased by 59,000% in the last 18 months 3. If you want fuel you have to buy foreign currency on the black market(illegal) drive 120 kms, smuggle your cash through an international border, and fill a container. On return you have to pay duty in Zim $on the fuel you have purchased but you are not allowed to take out sufficient Zim $ to pay the duty anyway 4. In August you are advised of the new minimum wages for July 5. Kariba Bream now costs $1,200,000 per kg which is double the price of imported Hake 6. Fees in Government schools are increased by 1,000% retrospective for 6 months, whilst private schools are restricted from increasing their fees at all 7. Colgate toothpaste in supermarkets is kept locked in a glass display cabinet otherwise it will be stolen 8. Reserve Bank officials enforce laws on illegal currency deals, yet the Bank uses illegally obtained currency to pay satellite television subscriptions -20 9. New Zealand butter is half the price of Zimbabwe butter 10. Water rationing is introduced four months after the end of the rains when the dams are already almost empty 11. A $10 note is still in circulation and is worth 0,05 of one US cent 12. A $10 note costs over $3,000 to print 13. Toilet paper costs more than $10 a sheet - so it's cheaper to use the notes 14. Banks charge 300% interest on overdraft but pay 0,001% interest on current account balances 15. It is cheaper to hand deliver mail than to use the postal system 16. Government knocks down houses when there is a housing shortage 17. It can take up to a year to renew a firearms licence which is only valid for three years 18. A replacement drivers' licence can take up to three years 19. Electricity Supply Commission is unable to send out monthly accounts, so estimates the usage - a previous average usage of $250,000 p.m. is estimated at $24 million 20. A monthly govt. pension of $135 00 will buy one small sip of Coke. But this is not an issue because you can't buy cokes anyway. Pensioners living outside our borders would receive half one US cent per month 21. ADDENDUM An ordinary washer costs 20 to 30 dollars. If you are lucky enough to find a coin; drill a hole in it! Our largest coin is $ 5. If you can find a 1 cent coin you can really "coin" it. It is even made of copper.
