Muddled in the way that the wind blows, gusts, and meanders over everything seemingly unnecessarily. Being a Leo, I guess I am like a cat, I hate the wind. I know in my heart that wind is important in nature's big scheme of things, but it still annoys me, ruffles my mane, and irritates my persona !! There are dry leaves everywhere. Our gigantic fig spews forth tons of leaves and berries, buying the deck under a cloak of gold and brown. The tiny figs batter the roof relentlessly and the jacarandas rain down a cotyledon cloak covering the roads, the lawns, the very fabric of society. The gardeners sweep and sweep to no avail, resting on their long brooms hopelessly to watch the cars swirl the leafy piles back onto the roads. The fine, frond carpet compounding the problem and mixing with the dry dust to make a malevolent August cocktail. In the spring gardens, the iceberg poppies, the sweet peas and the calendulas toss their pretty heads in disdain at the wind, the sweet peas holding on tight with their little curly fingers. The roses, fresh and cheeky from their winter pruning, are forcing blood red shoots up towards the warm autumn sun. The rose beetles and aphids are licking their lips in excitement at the thought of new fresh succulent sap and the prospect of tiny buds to much on!! The Amaryllis buds are peeping through the leaf mulch with the promise of a spectacular crimson show in less than a month, and the usually drab Orchids have dozens of shoots that look remarkably promising. But still the wind persists, racing across the dusty earth, laughing and swirling, creating mini mischievous whirlwinds, tornados and hurricanes. Doors slam incessantly in the houses, the bids wing their way skittishly from grass frond to grass frond, swaying in the breeze in giddy excitement as the stems dip and duck almost to the ground. The winter is over, and the summer pushes forward into all its fiery glory. Come on wind, I challenge you to blow from the north this year instead of from the south, bringing us some much needed rain. ++++ 2) Events SPRING BONNET COMPITITION - QUEEN MARY HOUSE WILL BE HOSTING A SPRING BONNET COMPITITION AT THEIR SPRING MARKET, ZONKIZIZIWE SHOPPING COMPLEX, ON SUNDAY 1ST SEPTEMBER 2013.

The re-erection of the Whovi Game fence was identified as a priority and thus the Rhino Game fence project was established. The project began in 2013 and to date the Northern and Western boundaries of the Game park have been fenced with bonnox. The Trust now requires further funds to complete the entire perimeter fence and thus additional funds are required. It has been decided to hold an event on World Rhino day, Sunday 22nd September 2013. The event will be held at Sandy Spruit, the main entrance to the National Park, starting at 10am. The entrance fee will be $20 per Adult and $10 per child. All entry proceeds will go to the Fence project, so this hopefully will be seen as a donation rather than a purely "entry fee". The entry fee includes: Light Braai Lunch A drink Participation in the sponsored 5km walk Bested Dressed Rhino competition Best Dressed Animal costume Most sponsorship raised by a boy and a girl - prizes by Lodges in Matopos. Cycle ride - 30k Part of the Rhino fence will be erected on site during the event An auction of Rhino Paintings and Prints. Speeches by prominent people and National Parks about the Matopos Rhino. Full bar available. The event is generally for the public to support the Matopos effort and to hear about developments in the park. ++++++++ DUTCH REFFORMED CHURCH MINI BAZAAR WHEN?

It was one of the last, maybe the last, large-scale battle epic of its type. As well as Peter O'Toole, Burt Lancaster, Sir John Mills, Simon Ward and Bob Hoskins, 'thousands of costumed extras swarm the foot of the mountain and everything is on an even bigger scale than the original "Zulu", in ways no amount of CGI could create with such organic verisimilitude.' [DVD Talk] Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] WAGNER: DIE WALKuRE Friday 30 August in the Robert Sibson Hall at N.B. 6.00 p.m. The second part of The Ring from Bayreuth features two of the greatest British opera singers of the time - Anne Evans as Brunnhilde and John Tomlinson as Wotan. "The sense of the epic is totally established throughout this performance. This is drama writ large and Barenboim, the producer, the cast and the orchestra fully deliver on all counts... Marvellous." [Amazon Review] Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Supper available during the interval CONCERT: JUAN LUIS & MARIELLE MUNOZ (VIOLIN AND PIANO) Tuesday 3 September in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m. The South African duo present a programme including music by Elgar, Schumann, Piazzolla, Telemann, Shostakovich and Mozart. Admission: $5.00 [free to Red Carpet members] ZULU Thursday 5 September in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. "This amazing film is devastatingly accurate in its depiction of the Rorke's Drift action, and is superbly directed by Cy Endfield, whose battle scenes are some of the most terrifying ever committed to film."[TV Guide's Movie Guide] Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] SNOW WHITE - BALLET Friday 6 September in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. 'Snow White' came as a most pleasant and pleasing surprise: a full-length classical ballet, created by a musician who apparently is better known as an actor... this is an old-fashioned Romantic ballet and the production is exceptionally beautiful. The final pas de deux he pulls out all the stops with spectacular results. Highly touted ballerina Tamara Rojo dances with exceptional beauty and grace.'

We continue to be amazed by the response and generosity of corporate, public and service clubs. Hospice has survived another year. Sincere thanks never seems sufficient to adequately express our gratitude nor that of our patients. Our staff remains on reduced pay. Donor support and fund raising projects have again kept us afloat thus far, but as last year as at the end of July we only have sufficient reserves to meet the next two months expenditure of approximately $7,000.00 per month. Other monthly donations will, we hope, continue to boost theses reserves. Upcoming events are the Ladies Tea, Whitestone School fete, a Bowling competition, Voices of Hospice Day and Light a Light for Hospice It is with deep embarrassment that we again have to appeal for financial support. We have an additional bank account 'hosted' by NMB - no charges!

The following is an excerpt from: Statutory Instrument 251 of 1998. BULAWAYO (DOG LICENSING AND CONTROL) BY-LAWS (12) Dogs not to stray No owner shall allow his dog to roam without restraint beyond the limits of his property, and every owner of a dog shall ensure that his property is securely fenced and gated so as to keep his dog within the limits of that property, or that such other provision is made so as to keep the dog within the precincts of his property.

We were nominated for The Best Coffee Shop award, at the Zimbabwe on a Plate Competition. We have been part of this competition for many years now, (even when Indaba was still Angels) and every year awaited our write up in the Standard newspaper to see how we fared against other cafes and coffee shops around Zimbabwe. In 2011, we were so excited to win the Most Imaginative Menu award - where participants needs to score a 15/15 on a point system to win. This year we were awarded 5 plates (which is the highest rating that the judges give) and were nominated for our award. Up to Harare we travelled, and met some inspiring people who are in the same industry as ourselves. We sat on edge as we were up against two other coffee shops, one having won the 2012 Award of Excellence as well as others! However, Indaba was named winner, and we were so thrilled to be a part of it all. Unfortunately, this was the last year that the competition is going to be run, and we would like to thank all the sponsors and critics who have give us the encouragement to keep going and to keep giving our 100%!
