Morning Mirror is a publication run for the benefit of Bulawayo's only geriatric and frail care home. ADVERTS TO BE SUBMITTED BY MONDAYS AT 5 P.M ++++ 1) Editorial Sitting sedately at a window in Atlanta yesterday, complacent in my recent 'Grannyhoodness', I suddenly became overcame with sadness. Watching from the upstairs window of the elegant house belonging to my daughter and her husband, holding my 'Wee Boy' close, I observed the beautifully paved road in front of the house glistening in the recent rains. Exotic cars skimmed past silently, their headlights weaving mysterious shadows on the perfect roads. I was showing my 'Wee Boy' the beautiful Christmas lights up and down the street. Every house is festooned with strings of lights, net-lights covering every bush. Every house has red, gold and green wreaths, not only on the front door but on every window. The gardens are laden with glowing reindeer, Santas, sleighs and elves. Beautifully decorated Christmas trees shine forth from every front window, some with bright colors and some with plain Biblical soft white lights. In our own privileged home we have two Christmas trees, one in the front parlor beautifully decorated with spangles and sparkles, and cherished family heirlooms, and one in the Family room, decorated for a child, by a child.... How many homes in zimbabwe can boast even one seven foot Fraser Pine Christmas tree, let alone two My thoughts flood back to my Homeland often........ too often. Rain, yes, thanks be to God, we have had a bit of rain, but Christmas lights and largesse I wonder.... How Christmassy do our folk at home in Zimbabwe feel The ones sleeping on the pavements outside the banks, awaiting the distribution of their allotted twenty dollars per day The ones sleeping where they always sleep, outside the railway station on 13th Avenue, or in the sheltered doorways outside what used to be Haddon and Sly How many Zimbabweans' Christmas Day tables will be laden with festive fare How many gifts will there be under the non-existent Christmas tree My shopping list in Atlanta is grandiose indeed, turkey and ham for Christmas Day, mulled wine and mince pies, proposed gifts for cherished family members. Shopping in the USA is inordinately easy, nothing at all fraught about logging onto Amazon online and ordering gifts to be delivered to ones doorstep! How I do not miss the frantic Christmas eve trips down to Haddons and Meikles searching for that perfect last minute gift!! I pray so hard for my beloved Country, I miss it so, even if I am complete in my Grandmotherly dotage! Lord, in a season when every heart should be happy and light, many are struggling with the heaviness of life-burdens that steal the joy right out of our Christmas stockings. God Bless my precious country, may peace, love and happiness be ours again soon. ++++ BULAWAYO WATCHDOG. MATRON MARY BREWSTER. MBE CONDOLENCES MATRON MARY BREWSTER. It was with sadness that Edith Duly Nursing Home learned of the peaceful passing of Matron Mary Brewster on Thursday 15th December. Matron Brewster served the Home with dedication and loyalty for many years until her retirement at the age of 83 in 2009. Her meticulous and unrelenting attention to the upkeep of high nursing standards and practice has ensured that to this day and beyond, her legacy will prevail. Her hobby and pride and joy was the establishment of our magnificent gardens - much admired by all who visit the Home. We extend our deepest sympathy to her family in the UK and to her many friends in Bulawayo. Residents, Staff and Management Edith Duly Nursing Home.

Bless you for your continued support. ++++ I have been collecting good quality used spectacle frames to donate to the council for the blind I have 90 frames at present ready to dispatch. But the director for the council is afraid if I send them out by post they will be hit by customs for a large amount of money. I was wondering if one of your readers might be coming over to UK and would be prepared to take them back to Bulawayo they fit into a shoe box and only weigh 1.7 Kgs so not a big strain on the weight allowance. I can be contacted on my Gmail address or telephone no 01691 774926. It would be good if someone could help as it would be an awful waste to have to bin them.

The Herald Angels Sing'. The service is preceded by a documentary, '60 Years of Carols from King's' gives an insight into what life is like for a chorister and the impact these experiences have on generations of choristers. 'It is a stirring, moving mix, steeped in tradition but with the purity, freshness and professionalism of the King's choir to keep it poignantly alive.' [The Telegraph, 23 Dec.2015] 'Perhaps the finest Christmas choral performances ever recorded on DVD.' [amazon.com] Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Christmas Dinner during the interval ($10.00) Berlin Philharmonic Grand Finales Thursday 29 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. This was an extraordinary programme for an extraordinary night, 31 December 1999! The Berlin Philharmonic celebrated the final day of the 20th Century with 'Grand Finales' in the first part of the programme and heralded the leap into the 21st Century with an explosion of sparkling music in the second. 'Superbly conducted by Abbado with the fantastic sound of the Berlin Philharmonic.' [Amazon] Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00) Dad's Army Christmas Special & Berlin Philharmonic 'World Encores' Saturday 31 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m. The evening begins with a Christmas Special from Dad's Army, 'The Love of Three Oranges', which is followed by a second extraordinary concert from the Berlin Philharmonic, this time from the open air venue at the Waldbuhne. The entire programme consisted solely of pieces of music, well-known and not so well-known, which have been played as encores. including some of the most popular items in the repertoire. 'The violinist Vadim Repin is clearly happy to indulge, performing here with all the appropriate showmanship and artistry alongside the first-class Berlin Philharmonic and Mariss Jansons. This isn't only a production for core classical lovers - this is a night for a wide audience.' [Amazon] Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00) A View to a Kill Thursday 5 January in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. 'A View to a Kill 'is the fourteenth Bond film, and the seventh and last to star Roger Moore. An investigation of a horse-racing scam leads 007 to a mad industrialist who plans to create a worldwide microchip monopoly by destroying California's Silicon Valley. 'Moore is worth every wrinkle on his face in "A View to a Kill," the seventh movie he has made in the Bond series and the most enjoyable since "Moonraker" back in the '70s.' [New York Daily News, 23 May 2016] 'Undoubtedly one of the best Bond films, it sees Roger Moore's reign end on a high. Seriously underrated, it's a great watch with amazing music, villains and final action sequence.' [IMDb, 31 July 2016] Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members] Supper available from 6.15 p.m. Puccini: Tosca Friday 6 January in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. One of the most popular of all operas comes in a unique and highly innovative version. Puccini's 'Tosca' is performed in the Roman locations - and at the times of day - specified in the score. Thus the action opens in the beautiful 16th-century church of Sant'Andrea della Valle at noon, where Cavaradossi (Placido Domingo) is painting a portrait, moves to the Farnese Palace that evening where Tosca (Catherine Malfitano) dramatically stabs the lustful Scarpia (Ruggero Raimondi), and finally to the battlements of the Castel Sant'Angelo at dawn the following day where the final drama is played out. 'Andrea Andermann's television production was simply a triumph.' [The Times] 'The enormous scale of the production, the stunning richness of the settings, is spectacular. Giant sculptures and paintings, magnificent fabrics, glorious architecture, a spectacular vista of Rome from the roof of the Sant' Angelo: the visual wonders are breathtaking.... the entire conception may be little more than an elaborate gimmick; but it's one that any opera lover is not likely to forget.' [New York Times] Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00) ++++ 3) Congratulations ++++ 4) Condolences/In Memoriam/Wreath Fund Condolences --- Pam Connell passed away on 16th December in the UK.

My memory is that Robins was a private farm, bequeathed by the eccentric owner to the old Wankie reserve on his death. I deliberately use the word 'eccentric' because I remember a story from my youth that old Robins instructed in his will that his corpse should be left in a tree as his final contribution to the environment. I wonder whether this story rings any bells with any other OPs There is nothing in the current literature to support this idea but why should there be We've moved on! I look forward to learning more in due course.
