THE DECEPTIVE PINK JACARANDA TREE !!

On the 22nd Oct John Brebner and I were passing Hartsfield on the way to the airport when I spotted a most beautiful pink flowering tree which I had never seen before. On the way back to the office I stopped and examined the tree which was obviously a Cassia and had to be an exotic. I picked a flowering twig and leaves and collected one mature pod to plant the seeds when it opens. The tree keyed out to C. abbreviata which has yellow flowers.

I asked a fundi about the tree and was told it is abbreviata, but a variety from East Africa. I have now checked all my tree books and in Sima Eliovson's 1956 book, Flowering Shrubs and Trees for gardens in S.A. she describes Cassiia javanica from Java and Sumatra which fits the description for our abbreviata. I am pretty sure that this is the Hartsfield tree and as JB says, perhaps it was planted by the rugby club to commemorate some person or event.

John Minshull

2) WEEKLY WATER WATCH

Please let it be noted that the comments made in the 263 Morning Mirror edition from a concerned citizen regards the pumping of the Nyamandlovu Aquifer were not the views of DRILLWELL. Apologies to all concerned.

OLD FOLK OF BULAWAYO
If you are reading this and have a parent, grand parent or family relative living in an Old Age home in Bulawayo, I do hope that your conscious is clear.
I work in a restaurant in Bulawayo and not a day goes by that a patron does not mention the OLD FOLK especially with Christmas coming up, we and I mean everyone is feeling for them, we know that Christmas time is time for family & feasting, basically pigging out, the saddest is that some OLD FOLK may have nothing and the lucky ones may have a can of beans to celebrate Christmas.
Good example a patron came in last night (Stompie) I asked him if he would attend my dinner dance and donate an item of food for the OLD FOLK, he was so angry I can assure you if he knew where the OLD FOLK'S relatives were he would certainly have a few harsh words to say, worse still he would knock your block off. He donates allot to the needy OLD FOLK and why should he, this is your responsibility. Allot of family are out the country with all the food available, you probably waste it anyway, or you are fussy, and your kids eat junk food. Just remember YOU put your family in these Old Age homes and you left them behind to face the end alone, how sad is that.
There are so many caring people in Bulawayo who are working so hard to feed your family, pay their medical bills, sort out accommodation for them.
Tracy visits the Old Folk, they love having visitors its sad that a stranger has to do that for you, but the OLD FOLK know no different its the company the OLD FOLK love even though they may repeat themselves a thousand times. Tracy has a wonderful disposition and loves OLD FOLK she cares and she visits your family I am holding a dinner dance for Falcon College, at this dinner I have appealed to all attending to bring along a gift wrapped item of food or a hamper of food, these gifts of food will be handed to Margaret Kriel who will distribute it to our "OLD FOLK".
I hope I have touched your heart and hope that you are feeling guilty and rightly so, If you have left this country then you can afford to send something for the "OLD FOLK" Food & money will be accepted please either contact me via email and I will direct you to right person or you may go through Margaret Kriel. Or if you have "Friends" here that could buy a food hamper or give money they can pass onto me I will accept it with open arms

I thank you most sincerely for your gift in advance, come on people lets put a smile on our OLD FOLK faces this Christmas.

I just wish I knew where you were all living you would certainly get a call from me. Tell me something when last did you actually visit your family in an Old Age home?? When you sit down to dinner this evening just think of what your family may be eating tonight !!!!!!
You may contact me on:- Email: ythomson@mweb. co.zw Thank you.

4) ROSES AND RASPBERRIES

A small note to H, as he/she is claiming ownership to my borehole, I recently had a problem with your borehole which cost me $200m to repair. Wondering if you will be volunteering to reimburse me for the repairs to your borehole. With all the other problems in Zimbabwe you wonder what type of people bother themselves with green lawn outside houses. H if this is your biggest worry then get a life. Give yourself the biggest raspberry bush!

Raspberry to national parks in Matobo for the disgusting state of the ablutions in the park.

CARERS NEEDED IN THE UK

The daily rate ranges between �65.00 and �95.00 and travel expenses are paid by the client.

Before being registered as carers with our agency applicants are required to undergo a 5 day in-house induction and training course supported by an in-house ongoing training programme advising carers on all aspects of the job within the confines of the client's home. We provide round the clock support and guidance should any problems arise whilst on an assignment.

Requirements are:- British/EU Passport or Right ofAbode/Ancestral Visa Qualities needed:- Caring relies on your attitude and ability to be compassionate, patient and understanding. Certain qualities make a better carer, ie. Flexibility, cheerfulness and a good sense of humour.

Thank you for allowing me to use items from your writings. The Mirror is also useful, and today I have added kigelia, treffers, and Roasted Berry to my book.

The Mirror is fascinating, and I am sure you and your helpers are rightly proud of it. As a Hararian all the time I was in the country (9 years off and on), I always considered that if anything was available in the country, Harare would have it. How wrong I was! It should be Harare and Bulawayo will have it. Apart from the entrepreneurial spirit, is it your proximity to Botswana and South Africa that explains this? Harare is far from anywhere.

But I am mostly impressed by the liveliness and joie-de-vivre to be found in your pages, especially in these otherwise gloomy times. The same could be said about Harare, I suppose, but when I was there (and in daily contact now) I would have been amazed to have known of such goings-on (!) as Bulawegians have available. My old landlady in Harare is a gadabout, but even she only has bridge, tennis and REPs theatre outings to my knowledge.

So, Bully for you (get it?) and remember - the Skies the limit!
Best,
Barry McCartney (UK)
N.B. Barry will soon be publishing a book soon .... It's entitled Dictionary of Rhodesian & Zimbabwean Slang, Jargon & Usage (from 1977 to date), 100pp, fully illustrated. I hope to finish before Christmas.
