There is a well known idiom - "You cannot teach an old dog new tricks". Well, I have disproved that silly theory !! Twenty years ago in spite of my stiff and unrelenting resistance, HeeHoo eventually managed to introduce me to mobile phones and I soon became fairly au fait with my old "brick nokkia", So confident was I with my symbian life that when he talked of upgrading me to an iPhone, I went into what could have been construed as a mild modular panic !! I had grown fond of my old brick nokkia, for one thing, the keys were large enough for my fingers, I could even use them by braille during power cuts, and I liked the size of the point 18 font. I was quite electronically comfortable in my Thomas Pynchon life - (Thomas Pynchon is writer of pessimistic novels about life in a technologically advanced society fyi.) I had no need to progress any further with my technical "larning", not that I am a Luddite you understand, I am just happy in my blissfully technologically challenged ignorance. It was only when my beautiful niece Danielle, looked askance at my brick, and my family were busy sending each other messages for free on their iphones, that I decided to take that "giant leap for mankind" and take up HeeHoo's kind offer. I also liked that fact that iphones take amazing photographs. HeeHoo does not suffer fools easily, and I knew it would be a long road, definitely a test for our 32 year old marriage, but I gallantly braved his fond but exasperated abuse at my obtuseness, and soldiered forth into the wonderful world of the iphone. Fortunately I had an ally in brother-in-law David, who would gently, patiently, with long suffering good humour, lead me through the vagaries of this darling little new fangled gem. SheHoo Must Sing was tenderly helpful too for about twenty seconds !! She downloaded all the "Apps" for me and tests me frequently and unrelentingly. Slowly, surely, inexorably, I mastered the darn thing although often falling by the wayside and deliberately "losing" it in my hand bag and reverting to the brick instead. Now after two long months of tuition, I have to begrudgingly admit that the iphone does have some amazing electronic assets, not the least being the fact that its almost impossible to text whilst driving!! It was a miraculous journey of cyber discovery into the pixilated world where other folk have lived for some time now. The word "Apps" found its way into my vocabulary. I learned to navigate the wonderful worlds of wifi, twitter and facebook, I ventured into linkeden, shazam and ibooks. I am now a complete woman, I have Sasol ebirds on my desktop so I can call up bird sounds when I need them, I can talk and text for free on Skype and Viber and I can watch my Apple shares climbing daily! I now have a dictionary constantly at my fingertips, I have the Urban Dictionary so I can keep up with my nieces and nephews !! "Words up kids" I can now say with confidence ! I can now "walk with kings and not lose my common touch" as I can speak "MBAese", "We are aggressively leveraging existing assets to affect a paradigm shift interdepartmental synergy." Humpff take that !! I am no longer on the peripheral of my technologically advanced family .. I am now gloriously and undoubtedly ONE OF THEM. +++++++ Get active . . . Urgent appeal for the Buffalo herd on Antelope Island and animals on Starvation Island We have an urgent requirement to get some hay and possibly stock feed or anything else that could be used as food or food supplement for wildlife in the Kariba area. There is currently a small herd of buffalo, including a calf stranded on Antelope Island in Kariba with virtually no grazing left. There is a longer-term plan to re-locate them off the island and back to the main land (a dart gun has already been donated to this end), but the immediate need is to get food up there to keep them alive. There is also dire a need at Starvation Island, which sadly is aptly named right now, where there are a large number of animals stranded with virtually no food. Currently we have received very generous donations of nearly 300 bales of hay, and some stock feeds in Harare and need to get this up to Kariba in a hurry. This is roughly 15 days worth but time is of the essence right now. We're appealing to try and get more hay or suitable foodstuff together to make the trips up there more economical. Taking this a step further we're also appealing for assistance with diesel and/or transport in getting it all up there. Please can you assist in any of the following areas: - Hay or similar - Stockfeeds - Diesel - Space on a 30 tonne rig if we can manage to get more feed together - Smaller transport options to get the initial 300 bales up there - Ongoing requirements for all of the above until the situation is under control There has been a lot of work done behind the scenes already up there in rescuing animals from snares, treating sick animals, and generally creating awareness - all of this on a volunteer basis. We're appealing to anyone who may be able to assist in whatever small way possibly to contact Nick in Harare on 708 036/7 during office hours (nick@afmine.com) or Cavan Warren on 0772 289 219 (cavanwarren@yahoo.com) in Kariba. ++++++++ 2) NOTICES AND EVENTS Chipanagli is still alive!

She lives with her obsessive former ballerina mother who exerts a suffocating control over her. When artistic director Thomas Leroy decides to replace the prima ballerina for the opening production of the new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition, Lily, a new member of the company who also impresses Leroy. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace and the Black Swan who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan..." Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] SWAN LAKE Friday 10 June in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. - with supper interval. After Black Swan, Tchaikovsky's ballet comes in a Teatro alla Scala production starring Svetlana Zakharova and Roberto Bolle. The choreography is a "new" version by Vladimir Burmeister which in fact goes back to Tchaikovsky's original score and the original scenario complete with a happy ending! Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] MAHLER: SYMPHONY NO.3 Wednesday 15 June in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m. Leonard Bernstein conducts the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in the most all-embracing of all Mahler's symphonies.

Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] MAO'S LAST DANCER Thursday 16 June in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m. Mao's Last Dancer is the true story of a small boy's extraordinary journey from poverty to international stardom, from a gruelling apprenticeship as a classical dancer in communist China to the glory of creative freedom in America. But there is a painful price to be paid for his quest for self-expression... "Grand, lucid and absorbing" [The Australian]. Admission: $3.00 SPUD Thursday 23 June in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m. "It's South Africa 1990. Two major events are about to happen. The release of Nelson Mandela and, more importantly, it's Spud Milton's first year at an lite boys' boarding school. Surrounded by boys with nicknames like Gecko, Rambo, Rain Man and Mad Dog, Spud has his hands full trying to adapt to his new home. Along the way, he takes his first tentative steps to manhood, armed with only his wits and his diary. He takes us from illegal night swimming to the red-hot furnace of the cricket pitch and also invites us into the mind of a boy struggling to come to terms with a strange new world, a boy whose eyes are being opened to love, friendship and complete insanity." Admission: $3.00 MEYERBEER: L'AFRICAINE Friday 24 June in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. - with supper interval.

Last year he walked from Edinburgh to London. This time will be from Land's End to London. He is 69 years old. The walk in 2011 will be a total of 330 miles to raise funds for ZANE's work with the desperate people in Zimbabwe. Tom departs from Land's End on Tuesday 14th June at 9.00 am. Additional walkers are warmly encouraged and sponsorship forms, for those wishing to obtain their own sponsors, are available. You can sponsor Tom and view details of the route and daily meeting points via the ZANE website. Last year, Tom's walking diary/ blog proved highly popular so he is going to do it again. He has even written an introductory entry already. You can read this and follow it as it unfolds via the ZANE website. To spread the word about ZANE and the walk, please forward this email to your friends and contacts and encourage them to join our email list. ZANE - Zimbabwe a National Emergency PO Box 451 Witney Oxfordsire OX28 9FY United Kingdom http://www.zane.uk.com/ phone: (+44)20 7788 7803 ++++++ LIONS CLUB OF KHUMALO - TRENANCE PROJECT For the last three years we have been providing and overseeing food for a meal for around 300 children once a week during term time. We have a team of 6 ladies who volunteer the best part of a day each week to prepare and cook in huge pots over open fires and serve up. This is a very deprived area and depends on food handouts from NGO's which have largely dried up. We have a list of 104 children from single or no parent families who are being cared for by whoever has a big enough heart. The meal we provide could well be the only balanced meal they have for the week. The school was receiving food to provide breakfast but this has dried up. Many children arrive at school hungry and with no food on them. We are keen to help with fees but, unfortunately, so many deserving children are in arrears and funds can only be used for current fees. Recently we have tried to help the Primary school which was built for a relatively small intake but is now expected to provide education for over 500 children and many have to be turned away. One class of around 40 children is held in a small garage where the children are crammed with not an inch between desks and one of the KG classes is in a room no bigger than a very small office. The Headmistress is desperate to improve conditions at the school and we also are anxious to see two new classrooms up and running before the rainy season. So far we have plans and an estimate of $22 000 to complete such a building which would be done under PWD guidance and will match the existing buildings . The school managed to raise funds for the foundation and slab which has been laid and they also have the sands and gravel ready and waiting. They will also attempt to meet the labour costs. We can raise some of the required funds but need help as we are not willing to start a commitment until we know the full finance is available. We need 20 000 industrial bricks and 150 bags of cement to get work started. We have tried various ideas to raise funds but money in that area is rarely available for the $10 fee per child per term let alone the levy and any other requirements. Children turn up in rags but are so keen not to miss out. We did provide 10 girls' dresses to start improvement but everything is a problem. The material is not easy to find and quality is very poor. We do appeal to any one or company which is in a position to give a hand in cash or kind to see this project up and running. We recently renewed the electricity throughout the school and hope there will be many occasions when they are able to use educational aids.

I actually cried when I read that Bancroft Neil had been closed down in Camperdown House, Abercorn Street.... end of an era. One of my many childhood memories when they occupied the whole bottom floor of the building was how I used to sit on the tractors on display in the window pretending I was a model........ Margaret Henning ++++++ Dear Mags I noted with joy and fond memories your site and still spend nostalgic moments thinking back to those wonderful days. I write to say thank you for your efforts, and to ask whether you remember some of 'us' who frequented the fair city so many years ago. At the time of writing, Jean Ness (Eighth Avenue Pharmacy, Stobart and Wixley etc..) is still searching for her 100th birthday as she celebrates her 97th this year in George SA. Unfortunately William (Jock) Ness the teacher at Gifford/Northlea and a Hillside Bowls Player for many many years, went to the bathroom in 1992 and failed to emerge (78). His legacy lives on in the many hundreds of men who made it good after going through his capable hands, and live in countries throughout the world. Also William, but refered to as Bill or Billy by many of my friends and clubmates during those wonderful years, I now reside in the windswept and cold Scotland, where we are experiencing winds of 100 mph at the moment. Should your wonderful newscast come across a David Jacobs, a Christopher Plaskitt, a Josephine Gregg, or indeed anyone who remembers me, I would love to hear from them. There never has been, nor ever will be a place like Zimbabwe or Rhodesia as I knew it, where 'God came to rest'. I have never seen the likes of Rhodesians either, a warm sensitive people, both black and white, many of whom have struggled to survive in a greedy and often uncaring world. I remember an old English gentleman in an essex pub once summed the the Rhodesians when he said, "You Rhodesians are such a bloody romantic and sensitive lot, I still wonder what makes you all such determined survivors?" May I wish you, your friends, and your efforts every success for the future, and hope oneday the sun will rise on a land where once again all peoples will walk with joy and peace in their hearts.

It was a very strange season indeed. May has been very warm and we have yet to see winter really set in. I have seen a bit of frost damage in some vlei areas, which had some late maize in them but I think this was a wind chill facto as the temperatures were not that low. Fathers Day is the 3 rd Sunday of June for those of you who want to splash out WHATB TO DO IN JUNE We are now midway between the seasons and there is not too much gardening activity taking place. Things to do: - Complete your frost preparations. Keep going with your cutting back of the summer growth There will be plenty of compostable material available now so keep building your compost heaps. Start to reduce watering on your roses to induce dormancy. Do not prune your roses until late July when the chance of frost is minimal. Ideally your roses should be totally leafless and dormant. This will mean that your rose has translocated all its nutrients into its roots and will be ready to start a new season. Check your variegated plants to see if they have any vigorous plain green growth on them. Cut this back as it is the original parent plant trying to establish its self. Look at your trees now that the leaves are falling and see if you need to do any major work on them whilst they are dormant. Keep up with feeding your sweet-peas and winter bulbs. Look at your lawn mower and see if it needs a full service. Get all your garden tools out and see what needs repairing or replacement. Work on getting a good mulch around all your plants, especially your roses. ECO & ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES This time of the year we see folk raking up leaves, skoffeling the soil and then burning every thing. This is a terrible waste of a valuable resource and a is also a real nuisance with the awful acrid smoke that develops for all the neighbors. If you have a neighbor who looks like they are going that way ask them if you could not have their waste if they do not want to make compost themselves. WHATS HAPPENING IN THE NURSERIES We have opened a new mini nursery at " Stillhaven". It is situated at 18 Lawley Rd Suburbs. (Just behind the Hockey stadium and with its entrance on 3 rd Ave) There are a number of new mini shops opening up there as well as a number of activities including various types of dance groups, meditation groups, raki, manicures and massages. There is a good selection of Gwaai pots, indigenous trees and an ever increasing range of selected plants. Each Friday there is a Coffee & Cake Day and a variety of folk sell quality 2 nd hand clothing, hand made jewelry and various other goods.You can also pick up your Flower hand sprays there if it is more convenient then coming out to Hillside FAQ's For MAY Probably the most frequently asked question this month was " What can I fertilise my lawn with. it looks terrible?" The answer is that it is now winter and the lawn no longer has the vigor in it to maintain a green carpet. Any fertilizing now would be a waste of time and money. The cold soils ( now down to about 10Oc) means that there will be very little growth again until late August. Let your lawn rest now and keep up with your watering. Next year do your last seasons fertiilising in April and that will go a long way to maintaining a good looking lawn. That's it for this month.
