MOUNTAIN BARBIES
The Bulawayo Mountain Barbies are Monica Midlane Frances Randall Carole Davies & Michelle Keefe. We continue the story ----
Off to the Matopos .... a gaggle of sun-screened, chatting, hatted and happy Steel Matopas Magnolias! The routes are varied and the weather gorgeous and as Martin Sanderson does with his Grade 6's on Camp, it becomes a rule that at the top of every "gomo" there is at least a minute of absolute quietness - the silence is deafening and we are humbled in such majesty. The sad reality is that it has taken us climbing a mountain in another country to appreciate and explore what is right on our doorstep and with every single hike and climb, we have sat at the top in awe. Mesmerised, stunned and moved at the same time. There have been times where there have even been a few tears as we sit and quietly contemplate the future of our beloved country and appreciate what we do have as opposed to winging about what we don't have. Even the most agnostic person cannot deny that in this special place - one is closer to God.
The picnic at the top of the Gomo varies - freshly baked crunchies from the farmers wife, dried fruit and pumpkin seeds from the health fanatic, salami, dry wors and biltong from the Atkins Advocate, the packet of lobels biscuits from the Mom in a Rush, and rich creamy carrot cake from the Domestic Goddess who makes Nigella squirm! The next challenge as part of the "training" was the Trans Matopas, organised by Des and Gavin Stephens - The Gomo Gurus of Matopas.
Up and down huge dwalas with views that took oiur breath away and through shaded and dappled woods and forests that many do not even know exist. Gavins knowledge of the Matopas is incredible and we listened like awe-struck school children as he patiently explained plants, rock formations, ancient river paths and San and Bantu folklore. Lunch on the second day was spent with the other teams in a fantastic cave. Their eyes bulged as we set up our "picnic" lunch, the food continually bursting forth out of our back packs. Of course we shared our feast, our maternal conscience not comfortable as they sat with their humble sandwich! The cave became a spa as we freshened up with our wet-wipes, brushed and redid our hair, reapplied sun-block and lip ice, trimmed and filed a pesky toenail, changed out of shorts that had unfortunately split causing great hilarity, and we generally just felt like girls again!
It was an unforgettable weekend in a magical place like nowhere else in the world and we all agreed that we would do it again in a heartbeat! As excited as we are about climbing Kilimanjaro in less than a month, it was a unanimous vote that the Trans Matopas is a unique experience in itself and a truly memorable part of our "training!".
Part 3 to follow next week.
2) WEEKLY WATER WATCH
I thought people should be aware of what seems to be occurring with these water cuts.
When the water comes back into the pipes, a lot of air comes through with with the water upon the initial opening of a tap. Apparently the water meter WHIZZES round then, and of course, it looks like we are using far more than our allocation of water, and being charged for it. One of these days, we'll be cut off and it won't be our fault !!
I spoke to a friend who's husband is in the water engineering, pump supply business, and she advised that if you turn each tap on SLOWLY when you need it, not so much air comes through, and then hopefully, the meter won't go round so fast!
Have other people had this experience? What are your thoughts?
I hope someone in the City Council reads this, but can they fix the problem????
Best regards
Carol Warren

VALENTINE MUGATSA IS A MOST TALENTED ARTIST AND THE NATIONAL GALLERY WILL BE HOLDING AN EXHIBITION OF HIS WORK AT THE GALLERY COMMENCING 30 AUGUST 2007.
I AM THE PROUD OWNER OF AN ORIGINAL "VALENTINE MUGATSA" MYSELF AND I HOPE YOU WILL TRY AND GET TO THIS EXHIBITION ... DON;T MISS THIS ONE
M.K.
" For most of us, life is a continuous struggle. Day in day out we toil and spin just to make ends meet. All that remains are strings of hope; we continue to hope against hope. Maybe there is brilliance ahead of us...
In this exhibition, I have tried to highlight some of the activities that people do in their daily lives. I have also tried to comment on various aspects of the society; how people effect or are affected by the conditions they find themselves in. The depiction of the road in most of my paintings is symbolic of all the ups and downs that we face in our daily struggles.
This exhibition aims to encourage people to continue working very hard and help each other re-string the broken strings of hope. "

GALEN HOUSE -DR FERGUSON AND STAFF - THANK YOU FOR EXCELLENT MEDICAL CARE RECEIVED ON 20 AUGUST 2007
===
Last Friday we had the absolute pleasure of coming in from the farm to watch our little granddaughter perform in the 50th presentation of Curtain Call.
We were so blown away by the whole thing and want to thank and congratulate all those involved in getting the programme off the ground, and to the dancers who enthralled us with their efforts,and for bringing down those three amazing dancers from Harare. The talent available in our beloved city,across the board is something to be proud of. With all the negatives around it was a breath of fresh air to spend two hours or so without, once thinking of the madness around us.
Well done to the folk of Bulawayo, you are amazing and unique, I like to think that the rest of the country must envy us sometimes. The battles might seem insurmountable, but with luck and lots of faith and huge doses of Bulawayo heart, things will come right.
Charlie and Val Ross.

I have discovered your site recently and spend some time on it. I am flabbergasted in how you get all this accomplished.
I used to live in Paddonhurst, 5 Hellet Rd
My father Nicholas Katsambas worked for the RR and was known as Nick the Greek, he was good friend with Frank Noble, Insurance Agent whom I believe was retiring in Spain.
Somehow across your site I came across a Frank who wants his kilts returned, Uncle Frank as I called him played the bagpipes really good. Is this the same person, if so my dad would be thrilled to hear from him. Alas, my mother Anastasia Katsambas has passed away but if anyone remembers the Greeks, Katsambas Family I would love to hear from them.
Thankfully
