Yesterday we were using nine zeros and today we are on twelve zeros !! Yes some folk in Zimbabwe are already trillionaires !! What comes after trillionaire is the question and the answer is quadrillionaire and then quintillionaire (I knew there was a reason that Miss Battis taught me Latin at Eveline School all those years ago......) Although we are all deeply disappointed that the election re-run will not be taking place, it's really a good thing that Mr Tsvangirai has decided not to participate. The horrifying loss of life has been too awful to even comprehend and only God controls the destiny of this land ... Thoughts go ahead to June 28 when the MDC would undoubtedly have won handsomely, but what then ? Aristotle's saying that "every country gets the leaders it deserves" can be objectionable, insulting, despicable, even infuriating. But, is it true of Zimbabwe ? Yay or nay I would not like to be the leader who wakes up to Zimbabwe's economy on the day after the "election re-run" !! Such sadness has enveloped our little country, such gloom interspersed with near hysteria at what lies ahead. The prices are what consume us these days even more than the politics. A loaf of bread three billion dollars ! Our largest bill is fifty billion dollars and a single chicken in the shop today was sixty billion dollars. Heehoo is grey around the gills, like most businessmen he cannot afford to sell any stock at all, he cannot make any sales and yet has to meet a wage bill in the trillions... ... In fact the banks have jammed up their computers completely for the past week as their computer software battles to cope with the zeros, either that or the banks just don't have any money ????? Many businesses have closed their doors already in preparation for the anticipated "melt down" Heehoo needs not worry though, he is such a competent businessman, he should easily get a job in South Africa as an economic advisor or for any other embattled country which needs "entrepreneurial" help, after all the shenanigans, chicanery and convoluted business methods most Zimbabweans have been forced to entertain over the past forty years !! Lets think about a job description ? "Slightly used grey haired Executive offers help to embattled economies. Let me deal with your ten thousand percent inflation problems ! Our software programmes can entertain eighteen digits easily..... Let me care for your country's ailing economy, just let me tackle your beleaguered firm's problems !! Barter deals a speciality, counter trade expertise offered, financial auctions done with ease and vast experience ! Long time but tired Survivor of forty years of unusual trade restrictions and relentless efforts to close down the economy !! Tried and tested methods employed throughout Sub Saharan Africa. " Email HeeHoo on a beach somewhere please !! God is in control I believe. ++++++++ 2) WEEKLY WATER WATCH ++++++++ 3) NOTICES Girl's College : Thank you to all who have so kindly donated books for our library - it is greatly appreciated.

If Friday is declared a public holiday, then the Academy will close on that day but the DVD of Sadko will still be shown as advertised. Forthcoming DVDs are as follows: Rimsky-Korsakov: Sadko - Robert Sibson Hall, 5.30 p.m. on Friday 27 June Rimsky-Korsakov died a hundred years ago on 20 June 1908 and, although best remembered for his orchestral music, he was primarily an operatic composer with fifteen to his credit. Sadko is one of the best and Robert Layton has written that "for this listener, at least, the finest of the Rimsky-Korsakov operas bring to life a world of magic and mystery, and Sadko in particular with its fairy-tale atmosphere exhibits an imagination and innocence that are quite special." It tells an exotic tale of the sea-faring adventures of the legendary minstrel Sadko and Valery Gergiev directs a huge cast in a truly spectacular staging from the Kirov Opera including an under-sea ballet and all manner of delights. "A shimmering fairy tale of an opera.. lovely tunes to beguile the ear" Amazon.com. THERE WILL BE A SUPPER INTERVAL Mahler The Mahler cycle continues at 5.15 on Monday 23 June with Das Lied von der Erde, the song-symphony considered by many to be Mahler's greatest work. The soloists are Christa Ludwig and René Kollo with, on this occasion, the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, and the conductor, as throughout the series, is Leonard Bernstein. "René Kollo brings the heft and heroism of a great Wagner singer to his songs, while Chrsta Ludwig, unarguably the greatest exponent of the contralto songs at the time, is magnificent throughout, unbearably poignant in the Abschied's rarefied fusion of elation and sadness.' [David Gutman] On Thursday 3 July at 1.10 there will be an introductory talk by Leonard Bernstein to Mahler's last completed symphony, the Ninth - "Four Ways to Say Farewell" - and this will be followed by the symphony itself at 5.15 on Monday 7 July. Back to the Vienna Philharmonic for this one, but filmed when the orchestra was on tour in Berlin. Thereafter.. . Friday 11 July : La fille mal gardée Wednesday 16 July : A Matter of Choice - Peter Rollason Monday 21 July : Mahler: Symphony No.10 & Des Knaben Wunderhorn Friday 25 July : Gounod: Faust Wednesday 30 July : Lunchtime Talk - Peter Rollason Monday 4 August : Mahler: Symphony No.8, conducted by Klauss Tennstedt We're currently planning our programme for the last part of the year and hope there will be several live concerts - always assuming some sanity returns to the country. In August there will be DVDs of Donizetti'sLa fille du régiment, the smash hot of recent seasons at both Covent Garden and the Met, and the balletRomeo and Juliet in Kenneth Macmillan's celebrated production. We're also planning a series of DVD "seasons", one of five Puccini operas together with an introductory documentary to celebrate the 150th anniversary of his birth on 23 December 1858. Two of the operas will be conducted by Herbert von Karajan who was born a hundred years ago on 5 April 1908 so there will also be DVDs of him conducting Bizet's Carmen, four symphonic poems by Richard Strauss and two symphonies by Bruckner. We shall also have a series of works by Berlioz including the Symphonie fantastique and theGrande messe des morts and ending with his great opera Les Troyens. And we also have some "treats" lined up for Christmas! One Last Thing The Academy is planning a book sale at the end of July so, if you have any books you'd like to get rid of, please drop them off at the Academy at any time between 8.30 and 4.30 Monday to Friday. We shall be very grateful!

Perhaps you may know or have heard of the people concerned. His mother is Catherine Veronica Lumsden - Taylor (nee Jones) who will be aged about 64 now. The following was sent to me by Mike: Mrs Catherine Veronica Lumsden Taylor was a widow born on 29 May 1944. She worked as an Insurance Clerk: Office Planners and her mother was a Secretary whilst her father worked as a plant operator, but at the time of the adoption case, the employment status ws unknown. She had been the only child in the family. Her husband, Lumsden Taylor was a mercenary in Congo and had been killed in Action in 1967, three years prior to Mike's birth. Catherine had learnt up to Form Three at Gwelo Convent. She had two children, 9 yrs and 5 yrs and when she conceived Michael, the father was unwilling to discuss marriage.Michael' s father is listed as Jeffrey William Smith, a divorcee, European who was 28 at the time of adoption case and lived in Rhodes Street , Bulawayo. He worked as a shunter in the Rhodesia Railways. His father worked in the South African Railways and was alive in SA at the time. Mr Smith disappeared on being told that Catherine was pregnant. Efforts to track Mr Jones in Gweru have proved fruitless. Hope you can help..any info will be of assistance. Mike now lives in Ozzie but perhaps you could pass this on to ex Gwelo/Byo folk, especially the older generation !!

Throughout the New Testament, we are told to walk in wisdom, love, light, and obedience. We're told to walk as Jesus walked. We're also told to walk alongside other people. Here are three reasons to walk with other people: 1. It's safer. Have you ever walked alone at night through a dark alley or down a lonely country road? It's a little scary. But if you have another person with you, you immediately feel safer. 2. It's supportive. Life is not a fifty-yard dash; it's a marathon. Walking with other people gives you the energy to keep on going until the end. 3. It's smarter. You learn more by walking with others than by walking alone. If you're walking alone in the wrong direction, you may never realize it. But if you have a friend alongside you, one of you is likely to recognize you've veered off the path and need to find the right direction. We also learn some important lessons when we walk alongside other people. We learn how to get along with others, how to cooperate. We also learn how to love. Genesis 2:18 tells us, "It is not good for the man to be alone" (NIV). God hates loneliness, and community is God's answer to loneliness. When we walk alongside other people, we find a community where we learn how to love. The Purpose Driven Life Daily Devotional, . Walking alongside other people also teaches us hospitality. 1 Peter 4:9 says, "Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling" (NIV). What's your grumble? What's your excuse for not opening your home to friends? ++++++ "Betrayers are hated even by those whom they benefit" - Tacitus +++++++ IN ZIMBABWE..
