Morning Mirror is a publication run for the benefit of Bulawayo's only geriatric and frail care home - the Edith Duly Nursing home ++++ EDITORIAL One Thing in Common The extraordinary monarch Queen Elizabeth and I had one thing in common, we both like hats. I have always had a fascination with the Queens hats. Bright, beautiful and bold, she made a fashion colour statement wherever she went. If you think she ruled for 70 years and probably undertook a public engagement at least five times a week, if my maths is right, she would have needed over 18 000 hats during her reign. Fortunately she did not mind wearing them more than once! Barbara Jones the Royal Blogger said Queen Elizabeth II has generally not been known in the past years for her fashion style. But that changed when in 1994 when Angela Kelly was named the Queen's personal dresser, you could say she is the royal stylist. Since that time the Queen's wardrobe seems to have undergone a fashion transformation with more tailored dresses and coats made in solid pastels or bold primary colours or sometimes the dresses are made in fabric with simple patterns. But the outfits are always accessorised with sensible shoes and the ever present handbag (And thanks to Paddington Bear we all know what is in that handbag!). To complete the fashion ensemble, the Queen will wear pieces from her personal jewelry collection. During the day, the Queen will usually wear a hat specifically made to match the dress that she is wearing. On more formal occasions the Queen will wear one of the spectacular crowns from the Royal Jewelry Collection. When a milliner is creating a hat for the Queen there are a couple of important things to consider, such as the style and the fit. The Queen's hat needs to serve several purposes. The first is that it covers the Queen's head eliminating the need for constant hair touch-ups during the day which is usually scheduled with several engagements and appearances at various functions. The second purpose of wearing a hat is that it covers the Queen's head to protect her from any weather conditions, such as glaring sun or a sudden rain shower (although lately the Queen had begun to use a clear umbrella with a color coordinated stripe to match her clothing). Finally, the third purpose of wearing a hat is that is a fashion opportunity to add an extra decorative accessory to the Queen's outfit. When traveling to different countries, the style of the hat will take into consideration the culture and customs of the country that the Queen is visiting. An example shown in the photos below is when the Queen has visited the Pope at the Vatican she will wear a mantilla to cover her head. The photo on the left shows the Queen with Pope John Paul II wearing a crown with the mantilla and the photo on the shows the Queen several years later with Pope John Paul II wearing a hat with a mantilla attached. Finally, when the Queen is at a public engagement, she needs to be able to see the people and they need to see her. So, when creating a hat the milliner needs to make sure that the brim is not so large that it will cover the Queen's face. Also, the upper portion of the hat needs to be a proper height so that the Queen can enter/exit her vehicle without hitting the hat and knocking it out of place on her head. I wonder if one could view the Royal Hat Room, as one did the Imelda Marcos Shoe Room ++++ Watchdog BOOK LAUNCH 'A GLASS HALF FULL' a history of Zimbabwe's Wine Industry by Jonathan Waters Date: Friday 7 October 2022 Time: 4 pm Venue: Deja vu Restaurant - 62A Townsend Road Suburbs Bulawayo Come and Join Jono for a glass of wine and a short talk.

Roger built many, many wonderful homes around Bulawayo and is remembered for all his kind and voluntary work in the City. Gone but not forgotten. Rest in peace. ++++ Mike Milne This most wonderful has man left us. Mike was a totally committed and loyal husband to our Mom, patient and forgiving father to us, kind boss, trustworthy friend, and guiding light for so many who looked up to him. We are so grateful that Mom, Sal and Brent, and Aunty Beth were there to help him across the finish line. At almost 91, Mike had nothing left to prove, nobody with whom he needed to make peace, and no work undone. That is what a life well-lived looks like, and to which I will aspire. He taught us so much, yet was always keen to learn from, and about, everyone he met or loved. Hamba kahle, Boss Mike.

DR.NO In the film that launched the James Bond saga, Agent 007 (Sean Connery) battles mysterious Dr. No, a scientific genius bent on destroying the U.S. space programme. As the countdown to disaster begins, Bond must go to Jamaica, where he encounters beautiful Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress), to confront a megalomaniacal villain in his massive island headquarters. - Featuring plenty of the humour, action, and escapist thrills the series would become known for, Dr. No kicks off the Bond franchise in style. [Rotten Tomatoes] - The Bond series started in great style with this cleverly conceived dose of sheer escapism that, unlike later episodes, remained true to the essence of Ian Fleming's super-spy novels. [Radio Times] - The next two instalments may have improved the formula - but certainly Dr. No must be ranked among the best. [Movie Metropolis] Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film Members] THURSDAYS 13, 20, 27 OCTOBER AT 6.30 P.M. LINE OF DUTY: SERIES 6 Series Six of Line of Duty sees AC-12 facing their most enigmatic adversary so far: Detective Chief Inspector Joanne Davidson, the senior investigating officer of a high-profile unsolved murder. Kelly Macdonald stars as DCI Davidson, whose unconventional conduct raises AC-12's suspicions and they begin to challenge the facts of the case and question whether she is doing everything in her power to find the perpetrator. The team conducts an urgent investigation, but upheavals within AC-12 itself threaten to tear their work apart. - The first episode might have represented an unusually slow trundle to the top of the ride. Yet now that we've got there, the ride itself looks like giving us our money's worth again. [The Spectator] - In the best way, it recalled the first episode of the show's superlative second series: could Macdonald's intriguing, softly-spoken Davidson become an anti-hero to rival Keeley Hawes' Lindsay Denton [London Evening Standard] - ..it stands head and shoulders above most other dramas. [Daily Telegraph] - The first episode of series six returns to what Line of Duty does best: dodgy coppers, tense action and characters who communicate almost exclusively in acronyms. [ Independent, UK] Admission: US$2.00 / $5.00 the series [free to Film Members] FRIDAY 14 OCTOBER AT 6.30 P.M. OH THOU TRANSCENDENT! - THE LIFE OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS Vaughan Williams , one of the greatest of English composers, was born 150 years ago on 12 October 1872 and, whether you know his music intimately or not at all, Tony Palmer's film about him is absolutely worth viewing. There is a fine balance between his music and his personal life, particularly with details provided in interviews with the man himself. There is a lot of fine archival footage, as well as personal accounts (many of them quite humorous) from Vaughan Williams' famous students, friends, and family (not the least of which were the interviews with his wife, Ursula, recorded shortly before her death). - Beautifully encapsulates this great man's life. A film to last a lifetime which will be watched over and over again. An absolute 'must' for anyone even remotely interested in RVW's life and what inspired and influenced his music. Just buy it !! [Amazon] - In O Thou Transcendent, Palmer draws him out of the shadows and puts him back at the centre of English musical life. [The Independent] - The stunning new film about Vaughan Williams challenges the myths that obscure his legacy - and exposes the darkness that permeates his work. This film will send people rushing for the music that they don't know, and can only widen Vaughan Williams's appeal further and the appreciation of his art.
