1 THINKING OF LEAVING ? WELL THINK AGAIN.....
2 SMALLS
3 THOUGHTS FROM ABROAD
4 CONGRATULATIONS
5 CONDOLENCES
6 TIDBITS
THINKING OF LEAVING / WELL THINK AGAIN.....
ERMA BROMBEC ONCE SAID "MY SECOND FAVOURITE HOUSEHOLD CHORE IS IRONING.
MY FIRST BEING , HITTING MY HEAD ON THE TOP BUNK BED UNTIL I FAINT"
WELL EMMA MY DEAR HAVING SPENT THE LAST THREE WEEKS COOKING, CLEANING
AND IRONING, I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL !!
IF I EVER EVER FEEL LIKE LEAVING ZIMBABWE AND HEADING FOR "GREENER
PASTURES" PLEASE SOMEONE REMIND ME OF EXACTLY WHAT EMMA BROMBECK
SAID..... BECAUSE HAVING BEEN THERE, DONE THAT,
TRUST ME, THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME....
THERE ARE SEVEN GOLDEN RULES FOR PEOPLE WHO THINK LEAVING ZIMBABWE WILL
BE A CINCH
RULE NUMBER ONE...BE QUITE SURE THAT YOU ARE WEALTHY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE
TO BUY LOTS OF PAIRS OF TRACK SHOES...COS WHEN THEY GET DIRTY YOU NEED
TO BE ABLE TO THROW THEM AWAY...
ITS AS EASY AS THAT. HAVING DUG THE GARDEN WITH FAVOURITE BROTHER IN
LAW AND HE WHO MUST BE OBEYED, IN THAT HIDEOUS TEXAS CLAY THAT COULD BE
MARKETED AS A BONDING AGENT TO KEEP NASA IN GLUE, I HAVE LEARNT THAT
THERE IS ONLY ONE GOOD PLACE FOR DIRTY TRACK SHOES...IN THE TRASH CAN.
RULE NUMBER TWO....IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MAGICAL THE FEEL OF PERCALE
SHEETS IS...DON'T TOUCH THEM WITH A BARGE POLE.....
IRONING PERCALE SHEETS IS DEFINITELY LIKE BANGING YOUR HEAD AGAINST
THE TOP BUNK....THERE IS ONLY ONE PLACE FOR THEM, AS NICE AS THEY FEEL
AGAINST YOUR SKIN...AND THATS IN THE TRASH CAN ALONG WITH THE TRACK
SHOES....YOU MUST MAKE SURE YOU BUY A HIGH POLY COTTON CONTENT THAT
GOES IN THE TUMBLE DRYER LOOKING LIKE NEW AND COMES OUT OF THE TUMBLE
DRYER LOOKING LIKE NEW. CREASE- FREE AND FRAGRANT...
RULE NUMBER TWO A ...APOLOGISE TO YOUR PRECIOUS GOGO EVERY DAY FOR THE
YEARS OF NOT APPRECIATING HER MAGNIFICENT SHEET IRONING SKILLS
RULE NUMBER THREE...NO DOGS !!
OH NO ... ANIMAL LOVERS TRUST ME... UNLESS THERE IS A NEW INVENTION IN
THE PRECARIOUSLY NEAR FUTURE, WHICH WILL MAGIC AWAY DOGGIE DOO DOO
INSTANTLY BEFORE IT HITS THE GROUND...NO DOGS....BIG ONES SMALL
ONES...CATS TOO...THERE IS NO POOPER SCOOPER IN THE WORLD BIG ENOUGH
FOR MY VICTORIA JANE (WHO IS A FABULOUS GIANT GREAT DANE AND I LOVE
HER DEARLY...BUT NO DOGS UNLESS YOU STAY IN ZIMBABWE)
RULE NUMBER FOUR .......THROW OUT ALL BLANKETS INSTANTLY IF YOU HAVE
TO MAKE YOUR OWN BED.... GET A DUVET, COMFORTER, EIDERDOWN, CALL IT
WHAT YOU WILL. PREFERABLY AN ALL- IN -ONE -COMFORTER BECAUSE IF YOU BUY
A DUVET WITH A DUVET COVER, IF ITS A KING SIZE BED, BE PREPARED TO HAVE
TO CLIMB INSIDE THE DUVET COVER DAILY TO GET IT NICE AND STRAIGHT.....
RULE NUMBER FIVE.... NEVER EVER MAKE A DATE WITH A WORKMAN..PLUMBER,
ELECTRICIAN, BUILDER... THEY ALL LIE...THEY NEVER COME ON TIME...SOME
TIMES THEY NEVER COME AT ALL.....MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO BE AT
HOME FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK OTHERWISE YOU WILL GET MAJORLY IRRITATED
WAITING FOR THEM. IF THEY SAY THEY WILL BE THERE IN AN HOUR...TAKE NO
NOTICE.....THEY ARE INVETERATE LIARS...DO NOT TRUST THEM OR YOUR FAITH
IN HUMANITY WILL BE DESTROYED FOREVER
RULE NUMBER SIX....THE DREADED LOO...NEVER ADMIT RESPONSIBILITY FOR
CLEANING THE LOO...
AND THEN MAKE SURE YOU HAVE EVERY CONCEIVABLE APPLIANCE EVER INVENTED
TO KEEP THE LOO CLEAN WITHOUT EVER HAVING TO DO IT YOURSELF...THERE ARE
AMAZING GIZMOS, GADGETS, AIR FRESHENERS, AUTOMATIC LOO CLEANERS...THAT
WILL DO THE JOB FOR YOU...TO A CERTAIN EXTENT I AM AFRAID BUT NOT THE
WHOLE TOOTIE UNFORTUNATELY....
IF YOU ARE THINKING OF GOING TO LIVE ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD...START
COLLECTING PLASTIC BAGS NOW....THEY DON'T HAVE A PLETHORA OF THEM ANY
MORE LIKE WE DO...GONE GREEN...I BELIEVE...SO YOU NEED TO TAKE YOUR ZIM
PLASTIC BAGS WITH YOU...ONE THING WE HAVE PLENTY OF IN THIS COUNTRY IT
WOULD APPEAR.
RULE NUMBER SIX....COOKING IS IMPORTANT...BUT YOU GOTTA CLEAN UP
AFTERWARDS...SO OUT MUST GO YOUR LINEN TABLECLOTHES, YOUR ZEBRA PLACE
MATS, YOUR BEAUTIFULLY EMBROIDERED NAPKINS....GET RID OF YOUR
CRYSTAL...TRASH YOUR BEST CHINA.....ITS EITHER YOUR SANITY OR YOUR
WONDERFUL ELEGANT LIFESTYLE THAT MUST BE SALVAGED...ITS PAPER PLATES
FROM NOW ON.....
IRONING ...IF IT DON'T TUMBLE DRY...TRASH IT NOW.....EXCEPT FOR HIS
SHIRTS...AND HIS HANKIES....I SUPPOSE ITS THE LEAST YOU CAN DO...
RULE SEVEN ...REMEMBER TO SAY THANK YOU TO GOGO FOR ALL THOSE
BEAUTIFULLY IRONED SHIRTS AND AFOR ALL THOSE YEARS OF DEDICATED AND
LOYAL SERVICE.
RULE FOR MEN - DON'T EVER LEAVE OUR COUNTRY UNLESS YOU CAN AFFORD TO
BUY A WHOLE CONTAINER OF VELLIES !!
FAVOURITE BROTHER IN LAW ALWAYS ASKS FOR VELLIES WHEN WE VISIT, THE
ORIGINAL VELLIE, THE PLAIN ORDINARY OLD KHAKI COLOURED VELLIE WITH THE
CREAM CREPE SOLE. BUT...THEY WILL NEVER LOOK THE SAME AS THEY DO HERE
AT HOME BECAUSE THERE IS NO MEALIE MEAL WITH WHICH TO CLEAN THEM
ANYWHERE ELSE.
OUR VISITORS ARE ALWAYS BOWLED OVER WHEN THEIR VELLIES AND TRACK SHOES
ARRIVE BACK IN THEIR BEDROOMS AFTER THE ROYAL CHARLIE TREATMENT. FIRST
OF ALL A BRISK SCRUB WITH A WIRE BRUSH, SECONDLY THE CHEERFUL CHARLIE
SOAP SUDS TREATMENT, THEN THE SHOES ARE STUFFED TIGHT WITH NEWSPAPER
(AND WE ARE VERY CHOOSY ABOUT THE NEWSPAPERS WE USE BELIEVE ME !!)
THE FINAL TOUCH IS A LIBERAL SPRINKLING OF FIRST GRADE ROLLER MEAL,
BUFFED AND RUBBED FIRMLY INTO THE HIDE, OUT IN THE ZIMBABWE SUN FOR A
COUPLE OF HOURS ...A GOOD BRUSHING ACCOMPANIED BY A FINE WHISTLED
RENDITION OF KOSI SIKELEL AFICA.....AND HEY PRESTO - BRAND SPANKING
NEWS VELLIES - AS ONLY CHARLIE KNOWS HOW.

We are qualified nurses who offer a service, for a small fee, to those
who have had to leave the country and who are concerned about the well
being of their elderly parents or relatives left behind.
Our service provides regular visits, with a comprehensive report back,
by e-mail, to the family on the general health and well being (mental,
emotional and physical) of our clients.
We offer to make appointments with, and provide transport to, doctors,
dentists, chiropodists etc. We will assist with general shopping or
just a regular social visit, much as a daughter would do. We are not
prepared to queue for passports, petrol, pensions etc. We will try to
ensure that the old folk are eating properly and managing to live
comfortably.
We are available at all times for any emergency and all have cell phone

Yes, you can make a difference. In fact, you should.
And Lantana is only the tip of the iceberg, acknowledged (only?)
because it is poisonous.
There are many more "exotic" (non-indigenous) plants that found their
way out of the gardens or plantations and into nature to successfully
compete with the original vegetation and taking over.
Wattle is another example of this.
If you would like to mail your postal address, I can put you in touch
with TEAM VUMBA, which tried (and still tries, I hope) to address the
problem of exotic plants in Vumba. They can also put you in touch with
like-minded people.

FORTHCOMING COMET
have asked a local Astronomy expert to put together an e-mail about
Comet(s) that can be seen by the naked eye in our skies right now
With the current clear air the stars in the sky are looking magnificent
right now
....................
Hi Mike
Currently putting together a full informative mail on this...actually
there's TWO comets that will be visible simultaneously! Will send it
to you with charts and diagrams when ready! One will visible during
the Total Lunar Eclipse on May 4th. Double rare event! But comets are
notoriously unpredictable as far as brightness and tail length are
concerned...they might fizzle completely or be spectacular, so can't be
too specific and disappoint people...the one is looking pretty good
however...saw it naked eye tonight despite the Moon waxing.

PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO ~ P.O.BOX 2360 ~ BULAWAYO
Yes, we are still here! We had hoped to get a newsletter out rather
earlier than this but thought it better to deal in certainties rather
than possibilities and we're now able to give you not only some
definite names but also provisional dates for the second half of the
year. They are as follows:
Leslie Howard
Tuesday 17 August
Leslie Howard & Michael Brownlee-Walker Saturday 28 August
Piers Lane
Thursday 16 September
Jeanette Micklem
Thursday 11 November
We're also hoping for Nokuthula Ngwenyama again in October whom many of
you will remember from our 2001 Festival. She's making her way rapidly
these days and played Berlioz's Harold in Italy with the Los Angeles
Philharmonic in January - and she's also taken up the violin! We're
also hoping to find dates for some singers; the original plan was to
tie in with the Falls Hotel Centenary in early June but our soprano
made it to the finals of the BBC Cardiff Singer of the Year which are
about then with the result that we're now looking at other periods.
There's also the possibility of a Russian violinist and we're also in
touch with a Alexander Baillie, a distinguished cellist.

My name is Ted Dowling tedd@space.net.au . Julian son of Joan Swindell
has referred me to you because of my collecting interest in books of
Rhodesia. I was demobbed from the Royal Navy in 1946 (100 years or so
ago) and joined the BSAP - spending 4 years there, one of them tobacco
farming in Odzi. I have been an avid collector of books of southern
Africa since then and when talking to Julian (who was fitting me with a
monitor) he said that you had contacts that might be wanting to dispose
of books, documents, mags etc. of early Rhodesia or other areas south
of the Zambesi. If this is so I would like to hear from you and if
possible contact anybody that may have something of interest.
A few years ago I was in Mafeking (Mafikeng !!!) and visited the
museum/library and saw on display a huge selection of Rhodesian books
which the curator informed me they had collected from the rubbish tip -
they had been dumped there by people leaving the area because of the
changes occurring. I would hate this to happen to items of interest
like that (although I'm sure it is occurring) - so if you have any
contacts or advice I would appreciate a note from you. Best wishes

TIDBITS
Live your life each day,
as you would climb a mountain.
An occasional glance towards the summit
keeps the goal in mind.
But many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage
point.

To add to 'why I love Zimbabwe'
I love...
The smell of the first rains on our dusty earth.
The kids excitement when the ZESA goes out the first time of the
season...before bedtime!
Watching a rainstorm approaching across 'The Lake'.
Leaving 'Queens', coming back 6 months later and the same guys are still
sitting in the same stools having the same conversation!
The Coucals calls on fishing camping trips.
The flowering Flamboyants at about 5pm on a sunny day looking down
Cumming
Ave from Mugabe Ave!!
The kids taking a tent and camping at the bottom of the garden.
Sharing Oupa's enamel 'kommetjie' of coffee to the francolins calls
before
the suns up.
Hwange National Park...nuf said!
The fight of a 'river' Tiger Fish.
The great green and yellow bullfrogs with the first rains.
Remembering being at 'Speedway' as a boy.
Remembering 'John Love' in his racing hey day....and he's still here!
Where friends and family come before money! - Thats a tough one to beat
away
from Zim!
Where I can still afford to have Madala and Gogo working in the house -
and
Umfaan in the garden.
Using the names Madala, Gogo and Umfaan with affection - they're part
of the
family!.

TO OUR CRICKETERS
OLD AND NEW, YOUNG AND OLD, WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU
"If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:"
R.K.
