This rain, this glorious rain !! Our dams are filling, our spirits are filling, our hearts are
filling !! But our glorious potholes also need filling !!
So come on Bulawayo ......, until the Council manages to raise enough funds to fill those
potholes, lets have a pothole competition !!
Which is your favourite potholed road ? Mine was Robert Mugabe and 12th Avenue, until
some kind soul fed the hungry lion with bricks !!
There was a glorious pothole outside Townsend School on Phillips Drive, until some Good
Samaritan filled it with sand....ooh. ... that was a beauty... that one was responsible for a
number of shredded tyres and shattered rims ....
An authentic mealie plant is actually growing in a very special pothole on Stour Road, and
I am sure you have your preposterous pothole preambles for all of us to share ?
Potholing in some countries is a sport, maybe we should invite some celebratory world
potholers to visit us for some really enchanting expeditions.
In the meanwhile HeeHoo is busy working on a periscope for me as my car (like my
undercarriage) is rather low slung, and I keep having to borrow his 4 x 4 to even be able to
see the potholes before I am immersed in them.
The periscope will also be useful (It emerges triumphantly from the car via the sunroof ) to
see over the long grass on the roadside verges !!
The Byo-Beitbridge Road too is horrendous. We lost a rim, a tyre and a lot of money on
having to purchase not one but 4 new tyres in South Africa, when we hit a beautemous
pothole 10 kms on the Zim side of Beitbridge !!

Enthusiasm begets power
it generates boldness and courage,
kindles confidence and overcomes doubt.
It creates endless energy,
the source of all accomplishments.

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;
persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
Keep hope !
