Never Travel Without......

Never ever travel without your 'Furniture Dots' !!

I know we are not travelling much these days but borders are opening slowly so be prepared !! How many times have you tried to sleep in an hotel room and there are bright lights flashing at you from all corners of the room One from the air conditioner, one from the fire detector and that ghastly red or blue one from the television

HeeHoo says I am Obsessive Compulsive as I used to meander around the room draping towels over lights, climbing up on desks and chairs to reach the high ones, climbing under desks and chairs to reach the low ones. I even used to try the 'Old Indian' chair on top of desk trick if I was desperate!

But then I found a fabulous trick on Pinterest!! Furniture dots!! You know those little felt dots that one puts at the bottom of a chair leg to stop it from scratching the floors Well carry a small ziplock bag of those with you, stick a dot over the offending light, and all will be well, as long as you remember to remove them when you move on........

2) Notices and Events

THE ACADEMY AND PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO

With the easing of the curfew, the Academy will resume DVDs on Thursdays in September starting at 5.00 p.m. Depending on support, they will also resume on Fridays, again at 5.00, from the end of September. Starting times will be reviewed in line with the curfew hours.
Regrettably teaching cannot yet resume at the Academy.
The Academy offices remain open from 9.00 to 1.00 Monday to Friday; the Academy itself is open during normal business hours and its facilities are available for hire.
The Note, the Academy coffee shop, is open under new management and is available for take-aways and deliveries.

THURSDAY 10 SEPTEMBER AT N.B. 5.00 P.M. THE LAST KINGDOM - - the final episodes at last!!

Leofric and Uhtred are ordered to fight to the death but a major Viking raid brings dramatic changes and Alfred is compelled to flee...
It all meshes together in enthralling fashion with a tale that's understandable and a setting that's tailor made for picturesque vistas. 'Last Kingdom' livens up Saturday nights with Emmy calibre storytelling and oft-sumptuous production values. [Rotten Tomatoes]
The truthful background of this high-stakes history makes it thrilling on a deeper level. Along with the battle scenes and other entertainments, the series reflects many challenges of today's world. [The Wall Street Journal]
Admission: US$1.00 [free to Film members]

THURSDAY 17 SEPTEMBER AT N.B. 5.00 P.M. RAY
'Ray' is a 2004 film telling the story of Ray Charles (played by Jamie Foxx), music legend. Told in his adult life with flashbacks to his youth we see his humble origins in Florida, his turbulent childhood, which included losing his brother and then his sight at the age of seven, his rise as pianist in a touring band, writing his own songs and running his own band, and then stardom. His addiction to drugs and its effect on his working life and family life is not ignored. The film received critical acclaim and was a major box office success.
Jamie Foxx creates such a real and vivid person that we almost forget that he is re-enacting someone else's life. [Common Sense Media]Foxx's performance is nothing short of amazing, and Hackford's film overall does fine justice to Charles' musical legend and legacy. [Empire]
Admission: US$1.00 [free to Film members]
