4) ROSES AND RASPBERRIES

WRITTEN AT LL PM ON SUNDAY NIGHT
Here I am - on the internet at this late hour - secretly checking into my emails in the hope that my Morning Mirror fix has arrived and I can vicariously live through the trials, tribulations, roses, raspberries, hatched, matched and despatched of Bulawayo. Whilst I know this may be completed unconventional, I would like to contribute something to your Morning Mirror.and I am sure my observations are shared by many throughout the world.in fact, perhaps that may be a wonderful subject of one of your future editions."What has the Morning Mirror come to mean to you?"..

I shall start the trend and reflect with you what Tuesdays have come to mean in my life. perhaps frivolous, but nonetheless so important to my sense of belonging in the world. the Morning Mirror carries the hopes and dreams of so many. I recall HeeHoo talking about the substantial readership of the MM and how extraordinary that this number continues to grow.well Mags, it grows because for so many of us the MM is that small memory of a time that was. Where there was an abundance of laughter and joy, where there was always somebody who could help you out and make a plan and where there was always someone who knew the answer to even the smallest bit of trivia. Oh how I find myself wishing for those days. Where none of us had cellphones and yet we never ever missed out on any social function. Where boys had to gather their courage and call the home phone, hoping and praying that their current crush's fierce father did not answer. The Morning Mirror for me still captures the essence of our life in sleepy Bulawayo. It is my connection to the world. Ironic considering our small town and innocent roots. It is the way I have come to celebrate old friends achievements, mourn dear friends losses and remember those who still believe in the dream to hang in there.

So many of us who live around the world have this alarming sense of displacement. I feel it daily. I have a great life and a successful career. I want for nothing. Yet I do not know my neighbours. The Morning Mirror is my connection to my neighbours. So much of who I am was determined by the environment I grew up - and the Morning Mirror is a reflection of that environment. The caring for others, compassionate assistance without a blink of an eye (why is NOTHING too much of a problem for a Zimbabwean?) and the celebratory nature of the editorials all lend to making me heartsore and joyous in one fell swoop!

So Maggie, thank you. Especially, but not only, to you. Thank you to all those souls who still care enough to tell the world about their achievements. Thank you for passing them on. Thank you to the people in Bulawayo who still believe in celebration and who hold music concerts, ballets and theatre exhibitions. Thank you to those who share recipes, titbits and glorious hints about domesticated bliss. Thank you to those who care about the hedgehogs and tortoises (I can't remember when last I saw any). For those who offer lifts, volunteer their services, pass on messages to friends, share photos, reminisce. Thank you to those who venture out and create places for the Bulawayo community to share meals and laughter. A big thank you to those who care for the sick and elderly, the Bulawayo community who never ever stop giving. Please know, each and everyone of you, that you make up the fabric of a place that so many of us throughout the world hold dear. We love your stories, we are nostalgic and we love our home town of Bulawayo.

The other day we wondered what was going on in Chelmsford Road, well a sign read CBC ROAD WORKS, What a wonderful job these boys have done, We have a feeling it was detention! It was Friday afternoon, ! as every time a car went past the poor chaps had to stand to attention and salute then on passing they picked up their shovel and carried on, not a single pot hole to be seen, all filled in with rubble and sand. Perhaps you had better investigate this before we give them a HUGE big Rose, it may be punishment, what a wonderful idea, helping to keep our roads safe. I wonder if the boys enjoyed it !

AND MAGS BY THE WAY ,

US SNOBS IN BURNSIDE WERE WITHOUT A POWER PHASE FOR S E V E N WEEKS, FROM MID DEC TILL LAST FRIDAY
and when zesa did come they thought it a huge joke, just a tripped switch on the Burnside Road, we had no steamy shower, no geyser, no oven, no borehole pump and our house is all connected up to the borehole so you lot had more water!! three lights working, and it took them 7 weeks to flick a switch. how's that for an efficient company .!!. Lucky we all have a huge sense of humour. My son was out from Germany, what a nice Xmas he had, try baking without an oven. Keep up the good work Mags.
regards Rosanne.

I would like all Zimbabweans to know that worldwide there are many ex-Zimbos suffering with you and feeling helpless that they cannot do more. Leaving one's beloved home country is a gut wrenching experience and the pain can take many years to ease. In addition, watching the demise of Zimbabwe and the suffering of its people is also painful.

So just because we live in SA (or anywhere else) does not mean that we are smug. We all left for our own reasons but I can guarantee you that every one of us misses the place like crazy and would prefer to have not been forced to leave.

Please give thanks to the many people who give a lot of time and money in helping their brethren across the border. We collect money for your charities from friends and family afar, spend fortunes phoning and visiting loved ones back home, take risks for our suffering friends that only a Zimbo can understand, send money, food, medication and clothing parcels for our domestics and their ill children. And if anyone even mentions they are travelling up North they are seized upon to take a box or two with them! I also know of amazing people who organise fund raising events in far off places, and recently a couple drove from Jo'burg just to deliver formula to an orphaned rhino!

I haven't mentioned our constant worry and sleepless nights about the pain that our nearest and dearest go through every day in Zimbabwe.
I sincerely hope that Zim and SA don't become rivals. We are all still Zimbabwean and no matter where in the world we live our hearts still break when we think of our old lives.
Please know that we feel your pain and continue to pray for a better life for all of you - and hey, it gives us something to do in the dark...!

We have had 8 attempts over the past three years! The last at 2348 hrs on 8th feb! Before midnight and within a half hour of us switching lights off! Our Alarm outdoor beams and passives have saved us every-time! I cannot recommend them highly enough!!
Have them fitted to your existing alarms today or get a new alarm fitted! Either myself or any reputable alarm installer can fit them! yes they're expensive, but having the car stolen or having the bandits gain entry into your home is very stressful!!

The HISTORY SOCIETY OF ZIMBABWE has existed for more than 50 years, making it one of the oldest such societies in southern Africa. Over recent years the Society has become centred on Mashonaland, and it is proposed to re-form a Matabeleland Branch.

- The Society aims to unite all who wish to foster a wider appreciation and knowledge of Zimbabwean history.
- Members of the Society are not historians and the majority of members are simply Zimbabweans interested in their own country.
- Periodic lectures, outings to sites of interest and a national annual dinner are organised for members.
- The society publishes "Heritage of Zimbabwe", the only local journal devoted to the history of Zimbabwe and neighbouring countries. It appears once a year.
- Membership is open to everyone.
- Your support would, therefore, be both welcome and worthwhile.

Would those Bulawegians interested in joining, please contact Paul Hubbard (hubcapzw@gmail. com) or Robin Taylor (robintaylor@ mango.zw)

Bulawayo Island Hospice Services have 2008 calendars and Bridge Score cards for sale. Please contact us on Telephone 77972
We wish all your readers and subscribers the compliments of the season, and thank those who continue to help and support us, and our patients..
Yours in Hospice

I moved to Bulawayo in April last year from Chegutu and was really impressed that the infrastructure was still functioning. Needless to say, we have had a sudden collapse since then.
Having witnessed two horrific accidents at separate robots in the past month I feel the time has come to try and get residents to donate a bulb. The cause of both these accidents was lights working in one direction and nothing in the other. A bit more caution by the drivers involved would have prevent the accidents, however the cost of repairing the vehicles would have purchased a few hundred bulbs. I have tried to make contact with Council on the matter and am awaiting a call from them. My suggestion would be to ask the community to BUY A BULB AND SAVE A LIFE.

yours faithfully

I have been given the address of your site by Trixie Evans in SA. I found your site truly wonderful and the photos brought back so many memories, some happy some sad.

We lived in Bulawayo, Hillside area, but left in 1979 because of the children, my daughter had a SA passport and our son a Rhodesian one. Having lived and worked in Zambia, I know how difficult whites could have!!

I worked at Danks and Hounsell and qualified there. I get some info from friends such as John and Glynis who are leaving sometime later this year or next to come to UK.

A friend of ours, Gail du Chemin, and next door neighbour for several years, who has now gone to Australia, used to keep us posted. Her son, I believe is still in Zim. We used to have contact with Brian Tiller who ran the book and coffee shop called Vines. He and I were Round Tablers and it would be nice to contact him again. Many, many thanks for all your good work. I will forward your address to Steve and Kay Walker who are members or our Church and who lived in Bulawayo. Steve worked at Colcoms. They also knew Gail. Small world isn't it!
