Back to School!

Sending one's first Grandchild to first day at Kindergarten was full of emotion, almost as poignant as sending one's own children to school...

Gary went to REPS which was very hard on his mother as she overlooked the fabled forays into the Matopos, and instead all she could think of was that her Wee First Born was destined to five years of ice cold showers! (I wonder if they have hot water in the REPS hostels yet )

Second child Joanne was just 'up the road' at Kumalo School for primary school, a fine institution where Frik De Beer was her Headmaster.

Third Girl Child's first day at Hebrew English Nursery School was a milestone, and when Dad went to collect her, he fell from Grace horribly!! There, right at the front door, was a Lyons Maid Ice Lolly Man grinning from ear to ear. All the Little Darlings were being treated to a 'First Day at School' ice cream, but par for the course, Daddy had not a single penny in his pocket...
The Ice Cream Vendor refused to accept a credit card, and Daddy had to beguile one of the many 'Yummy Mummies' to lend him a couple of bob!!

Hebrew English Nursery School was special, devoted staff, small and intimate and the school celebrated the charismatic Jewish traditions like Shabat on Fridays where the Dads would all sit on tiny chairs and wear Yamulkekes.

My Wee Grandchild is attending a fabulous school in Stockholm and Day One was indeed tearful, not for the Wee Boy, but for Mom and Nana!! Just on five years old, and left in the heart of one of the most beautiful citys in the world!! A far cry from the valiant little pre school in Addis Ababa!!

It's a long day for a five year old, 8.30 am until 3.20 pm, but he arrived home full of the joys of spring and utterly exhausted. His Paw Patrol back-pack was almost bigger than him, snack box, pencil case, sports wear and indoor shoes making up the bulk of the items.

My snack boxes were legendary at Kumalo and Whitestone schools, but the Swedes are renowned for their healthy eating so out with the crisps, korn curls, candy, fruit juices and absolutely no peanut products!! Instead we had liver sausage sambos, strawberries, banana, blueberries, carrot sticks and apple!!

The school has a canteen for the main meal where fresh fish, salmon and vegetables are staple foods!

The day I dread the most however is when the school bus comes to the house to collect him, now that will indeed be a 'kleenex' moment!!

Absolutely devastated at the loss of our grandfather today. AB, I am so so heart broken that you are gone. So many special and funny memories I will never forget. I can honestly not even begin to explain what you have meant to me in my life and the hole I feel now that you are gone.
So many memories that I keep playing over in my head.
RIP AB, we all love and miss you terribly. Dianna, I am so sorry and wish I was home to be there with you during this time.
Dad, Janet and Brian, sending my love to you all and thinking of you.

Appeal from BULAWAYO SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS

Knowing that the lockdown has given folk time to sort out cupboards, garages etc - please have a look at our Charity Shop List and our Kennel Wish List - you may be surprised how many unwanted items to you - are just what we are needing here at the kennels!

Shop
All the volunteers who work at the charity shop deserve a big pat on the back, but they DO need items to sell! - apparently the shelves are rather bare, so they would appreciate any unwanted saleable household goods, such as ornaments, glassware, crockery, pictures, clothing, garden tools, small items of furniture, jam jars for the jam makers! - in fact anything they can sell to make money to help the kennels.

They have Ecocash for convenience - items can be dropped off at the Charity shop - 127e,Robert Mugabe Way.

Kennel and Clinic
Wish List
If folk could donate any one of these items, that would be fantastic!
Old blankets and towels, Newspapers,Tinned + Dried Pet Food for Dogs and Cats, Fly Smear, Old Crepe Bandages, Latex Gloves, Face Masks, Paper Towels, Disinfectant Wipes, Antiseptic Wound Spray, Dressings, Toys for Cats, Cat Carriers, Dog Boxes or Cages, Fly Spray, Bolt Cutters, Brooms both Soft and Stiff, Disposable Aprons, off cuts of Foam Rubber to cover donkey harnesses... all can be dropped off at the Kennels, cnr of Magazine and Khami Road - if you can donate just one of these items..

it will improve the welfare of at least one animal - Thank You!
