It was only when I started to colour code the pegs and the washing on the washing line, that I established the truth ........ it is a fact that I had suspected all along ... housework is addictive. We have been away from Zim just too long ... HEEHOO MUST FISH has been a tad poorly and so we have had an enforced holiday in Joburg where I found to my horror that unless one is a total slattern, domestic chores have to be done on a fairly regular basis .... I know my Sister- in- Law Litty also had a problem when she first left Zimbabwe, we found her secretly polishing the floors at all hours of the night !! At first it is fun, washing, ironing, cleaning, dusting, and then it becomes a bit of a chore.... but having lived in spotless shining houses our whole lives thanks to our very spoilt and privileged lifestyle, suddenly there is dust !! Suddenly there are beds to make, floors to wash, clothes to iron, and suddenly we are totally addicted if we want to do it at all properly. I gather one does grow out of it fortunately, but at the moment I am unconsciously using green pegs for green knickers, blue pegs for blue sox and so on and so forth ad nauseum. It will pass .... this syndrome, I have been assured by generations of Zimbabweans who moved out into the real world just recently. Just as the washing is an addiction, making the bed too is an addiction, the house rule is "last lying in makes the bed" HeeHoo is exhausted he tells me, he lies on his side in bed when the Hadedas start calling at first light, keeping a watchful eye on my eyelids. As soon as there is the slightest flicker, he shoots out of bed, making sure that he is never the last in bed in the morning !! I used to dread the shoe cleaning story after I had watched Charlie year after year, whistling away happily buffing HeeHoos best lace-ups, polishing them to such a gleam that they could double as a mirror. I tried it once using that lovely old shoe polish in the round tin, first applying the thick black goo with a brush, then buffing them like mad to rub the polish in, then a soft cloth to make them really shine. THE I DISCOVERED KIWI LEATHER INSTANT WAX SHINE !! No mess no fuss, no elbow grease at all, and much the same effect with far less effort. Oh that Nugget shoe polish had me in a black smutty mess the first time I used it, but the Kiwi is as easy as falling off a log. Our floor polish was called Cobra but our shoe polish was called Nuggett and I am glad to say that Cobra plays no part in my life at all when I am not in Bulawayo. Our homes have traditionally had parquet flooring, tiny neat oblong blocks, laid beautifully, always gleaming, always polished to perfection, how on earth was I going to emulate that particular little domestic trick ? Luckily there is not a parquet block to be seen this side of the Tropic of Capricorn !! Oops the spin dryer calls, oh frabjous day, calloo callay, time to hang out the washing, hope I have some purple pegs to use with my new purple tee shirt !! ++++++++ 2) NOTICES Carols by Candlelight Khayelihle Children's Village, in association with the University Christian Students Fellowship will be conducting a Carols by Candlelight evening at the City Presbyterian Church on Saturday 13th December starting 6pm.

PAB presents the Lyric Piano Trio [Cape Town] Thursday 4 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m. Booking at the Academy from Thursday 20 November. Tickets free to subscribers; price to non-members US$1.00 or equivalent. The year's live music ends with a very special concert. Many will remember the outstanding recital by cellist Peter Martens last year and he now returns as part of a piano trio whose other members are his wife Suzanne (violin) and Elna van der Merwe (piano). They're offering a big programme of outstanding music:Haydn: Piano Trio in G major - "Gypsy Rondo"; Ravel: Piano Trio in A minor; Brahms: Piano Trio No.1 in B major PAB and the Academy - Puccini: Turandot Friday 5 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. There will be a supper interval. Turandot was Puccini's last opera and is, of course, the home of Nessun dorma but it contains a lot more glorious music in Puccini's typical style as well as something very different in the exotic Chinese influences. This is a truly spectacular production from the Met in New York directed by Franco Zeffirelli and conducted by James Levine with Eva Marton as Turandot and Placido Domingo as Calaf. PAB and the Academy - Karajan conducts Richard Strauss Monday 8 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 5.15 p.m. Admission by donation The second in the series features Strauss's self-portrait, "A Hero's Life", with virtuoso use of a vast orchestra in Karajan's last recording of the work made only a year before death in 1989. The programme will also include "Don Juan" in a performance conducted by Sir Georg Solti which will act as a curtain-raiser to the "Orchestra!" series to be shown in the first term 2009. PAB and the Academy - Something for Christmas Wednesday 10 December in Room 25 at 1.10 p.m. Admission by donation In the last lunchtime talk of 2008, Peter Rollason & Michael Bullivant present a choice of Christmas music. PAB and the Academy - Handel's Messiah Friday 12 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m. Admission by donation A performance of Handel's oratorio recorded in the Pieterskerk, Leiden in the Netherlands by the Choir of King's College, Cambridge and the Brandenburg Consort conducted by Stephen Cleobury with soloists Lynne Dawson (soprano), Hillary Summers (alto), John Mark Ainsley (tenor) and Alastair Miles (bass). PAB and the Academy - Karajan conducts Richard Strauss Monday 15 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 5.15 p.m. Admission by donation The last of the series features "An Alpine Symphony" which was Strauss's last and longest symphonic poem. On one level it is a fifty-minute depiction of the ascent of an Alpine peak, at another an allegory of life scored with immense resource for an orchestra of over 120 players. PAB and the Academy - A Christmas Carol: Ballet Friday 19 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 8.00 p.m. "A Christmas Carol", premiered by the Northern Ballet Theatre in 1992 and described as "an opulent mixture of ballet, musical and theatre", is closely based on Dickens' story and has a score by Carl Davis that incorporates many well-known carols. The production toured Britain, meeting with great success, and was even presented in China. The reviews were full of praise with the Guardian writing of "unassailable magic, the heartstrings are truly plucked" whilst the Daily Express recommended the ballet as "perfect Christmas entertainment" . There will be a supper interval from 6.30, i.e. BEFORE the performance but after the "Planet Earth" DVDs. PAB and the Academy - Puccini: La Boh-me Tuesday 23 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. There will be a supper interval. The Puccini series ends with "La Boh-me" on the 150th anniversary of the composer's birth on 23 December 1858 - and, as the first two acts of the opera are set on Christmas Eve, it is even more appropriate to show it at this time! Based on Zeffirelli's spectacular production from La Scala Milan, this DVD version is conducted by Herbert von Karajan, "second to none as a Puccini interpreter, pointing the great emotional climaxes unerringly", and features "Mirella Freni as a meltingly beautiful Mimi and the underrated Gianni Raimondi as a forthright Rodolfo with a ringing, unrestrained tenor".

Julie left Zim in 1981 to continue her nursing training at Greys Hospital. Since June she has been collecting and sending donated food up to the elderly here in Zimbabwe. It started with a chap with a bakkie originally , then got bigger and she is now sending to Harare, Byo, Kadoma and Chegutu. Julie now has two couriers who transport it for her for free and personally pay the border duty. Since the middle of June they have sent up in excess of 12 tonnes which they are thrilled about as Julie is a one lady band and source donations from where ever she can. Julie is in her eleventh year of night duty in a elite Frail Care as the only sister on duty for 17 patients in Frail Care and she is on call for 430 cottages should some one need help. Trevor Lowein ( her brother in Byo ) collects it from Senatar Express and hands Byo over to Byo Help Network ( Mike Carter) He then sends the other boxes on to the elderly in Kadoma , Chegutu and Harare. God Bless you Julie Westbrook. +++++++++++ 4) CONGRATULATIONS ++++++++++++ 5) CONDOLENCES CAROL DENISON -(Nee Kotze) - Carol was tragically taken away from us on 16/11/08 after being attacked in Witbank R.S.A. a fortnight before.
