A favourite and enchanting tourist trap featured in every tourist publication on Bulawayo since the inception of the city. But now they are no more thanks to the strange behaviour of the Government known as Operation Murambatsvina !! Gone is Ma Moyo with her colourful buckets of baby's breath and carnations brought in fresh each day from the Martins' farm - Ponderosa which is now of course no more at any rate.... And if Colin and Judy did not have a wedding on that week, you could sometimes get a precious bunch of Saint Joseph's' Lilies from Ma Moyo which was a real treat for the home. Gone is old Willie Ndlovu with his half dead roses and the agapanthas he used to "borrow" on his way to work every morning !! Gone are the predictable ready made posies and wreaths which were so popular for weddings, funerals and just to say "I love you" or just to say "I love Life". On the northern end of the City Hall mall were the curio sellers selling everything and anything in wood, wire or soapstone. Gone is that awful rapscallion Solomon who would add four zeros onto the price of a wooden hippo the minute he heard an American accent, but would reduce it quickly when you spoke even a word of Ndebele !! Gone are the worm sellers who could discuss most knowledgeably the merits and de merits of the thin red worms as opposed to the fat brown earthworms in the art of catching tiger or bream at Kariba (in spite of the fact that they had never gone further than Nyamandhlovu in their lives !! Gone are the placid ladies who sat day in and day out, legs stretched ramrod straight in front of them, crocheting and knitting doilies and tablecloths festooned with pretty beads. Remember those little covers weighed down with blue, red or green beads, that were used to cover the milk and the sugar bowls back in the days when gentility was paramount ? Gone are the touts and the tricksters, an integral part of the tableau of every society the world over, who would rush up to you and drag you over to someone else's stall where they would expertly talk you into believing that this particular hand- carved bowl was exactly the one you needed to send to Aunty Clara in New Zealand, and then he would fix his own inflated price which included his cut of the takings! The wire toy sellers will be missed too. Such ingenuity was displayed by these dextrous young men, who could fashion anything out of wire "borrowed " from someone's farm fence or from the telephone wires leading to someone's property !! Gone are the livelihoods and possibly the very lives of people who have lived in Bulawayo, paid rental on their flower stalls, and who are now totally destitute with no means of survival. Artists, painters, sculptors, wood carvers, floral artists, an incredible wealth of talent has been decimated in one ruthless sweep of absolute power ++++ NOTICES The Bulawayo Philharmonic Chorus presents ALL KINDS OF EVERYTHING A concert of light music at the Academy of Music Saturday July 9th at 7.30 p.m Tickets $20000 at the door Pensioners $10000 ++++++++ Performing Arts Bulawayo presents the exciting young Australian pianist Kristian Chong in two programmes, the first with members of the BPO. Saturday 16 July at 8.15 p.m. - a recital followed by works with the BPO The first half of the evening will be a solo piano programme: Beethoven: Moonlight Sonata - First Movement Chopin: Scherzo No.2 in B flat minor Liszt: Hungarian Rhapsody No.11 in C sharp minor Rachmaninov: Three Preludes from Opus 32 and in the second half the Pianist will combine with the string section of the BPO to play: Bach: Largo from Piano Concerto No.5 in F minor Percy Grainger: Handel in the Strand Pat Pearce will be conducting the Orchestra in some further items including: Mozart: Church Sonata Mozart: Flute Quartet Loeillet: Trio Sonata in F Friday 22 July at 7.30 p.m. - solo recital Shostakovich: Prelude & Fugue in D minor from Opus 87 Bach: Chromatic Fantasy & Fugue, BWV, 903 Liszt: Hungarian Rhapsody No.12 in C sharp minor Rachmaninov: Thirteen Preludes, Opus 32 Both concerts: Robert Sibson Hall, Zimbabwe Academy of Music. Booking at Meikles. Kristian Chong has established himself as one of Australia's leading younger pianists and is currently based in London, where he studies with Christopher Elton and Piers Lane at the Royal Academy of Music and, indeed, it is Piers who recommended him to Performing Arts. He has recently received the Dip.RAM, the Academy's highest performing accolade, the Walter MacFarren award for the best postgraduate final recital and the Dorothy Grimstead Memorial Award for the most outstanding returning postgraduate student. Prior to that he had been named as the 2002 South Australian Emerging Artist of the year. The Australian Herald Sun wrote that Kristian "is the brightest star in the heady firmament of young pianists emerging from Australia today..." and The Age (also Australia) said: "Kristian Chong is a pianist of impressive talent and sensitivity. He shows a level of maturity way beyond his years, a factor often missing in younger artists, yet maintains the high level of excitement which drives the music along to exhilarating heights." Just a few weeks ago Kristian played part of the programme that we shall be hearing in the Fairfield Hall and a review had this to say: "Two substantial items occupied today's programme, the first was Shostakovich's Prelude and Fugue No.24 in D minor, in which Chong captivated us right from the majestic opening. The other piece was really thirteen pieces, Rachmaninov's second, dazzling set of Preludes Op.32 of which the tenth was the composer's favourite. With total commitment, Chong fluently sailed through these complex works with ever a deft touch and without blemish. Every hurdle was taken in his stride. This was playing with finesse and strength in the best proportions. Chong has attracted a great deal of attention, and justified attention, in his native Australia and you can bet that his is a name of which we shall be hearing a great deal more." +++++ I wonder if anyone would be interested in having a personalised CD with music of their own choice? I can't do the classics, but popular music from the 50's, 60's, 70's and so on. You can get about twenty tunes on a normal CD. I don't profess to have every tune ever brought out, but if you give me a list of, say, 30 tunes, I could do quite a high percentage of them. This would make a super gift for someone to recall the good old days.

We have a huge selection of plants that are suitable for containers and have just received a large amount of clay pots. We have also planted up several pots with palms, succulents, pretty low-growing perennials and grasses. A few tips for container gardening: Buy a good potting mix. Choose the correct size container for the plant. Use an organic or inorganic mulch to discourage weeds and to retain moisture. Container grouping is better than having them dotted around all over the place. Fertilise regularly - preferably with a liquid fertiliser Repot plants when necessary. If you are a bit confused about how to go about it we are here to offer advice and select the correct plants and the pot that would be best suited for the plant of your choice.

Feeling full of trepidation I decided to fill 'er up and take a spin. But first I checked that there were no petrol queues! In Bulawayo just before I left, there would be between 50 and 300 cars parked in my road waiting for the petrol tanker to arrive. This went on for up to 4 weeks at a time. NO petrol. No joke. So you can imagine my joy on pulling into the first garage I found. There was NO queue. Amazing. So I sat by the pump waiting. A young man knocked on my window and asked could he be of some service. Rather imperiously I wave him to the back of the vehicle and say, "Fill 'er up please." I sit back. He looked at me, politely asked me to step out. I'm worried now. What have I done wrong? Can garage owners fine you? Well madam, he said ever so politely. First you push these buttons, then you take this nozzle, you put it in here and you squeeze. Petrol comes out. Oh. You mean I must do it myself? (In Africa this is done for you for two reasons -- drivers may try to scoot off without paying (!) and most of us are too dumb anyway!) Upon hearing that, he says, You from South Africa. I nod ashamedly. OK, I'll do it for you, he smiled. Oh, what a joy to be in New Zealand! ++++++ For Kids Sat 2nd 9.30 - Beaded earrings $30 000 Fri 8th 2.30 - Fabric painted place mats $50 000 Sat 9th 9.30 - Beaded necklace and bracelet $65 000 Fri 15th 2.30 - Paper masks $20 000 Sat 16th 9.30 - Beaded handbag $70 000 Fri 22nd 2.30 - Peg plaque( for displaying your pictures from school) $25 000 Sat 23rd 9.30 - Paper bag kites $ 20 000 As you can see I have tried to include some really reasonable crafts, mainly for the little people.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat" Theodore Roosevelt, The Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910 Comrades Ambassador Mighty Mark 2005
