THE BEST CLIMATE ON EARTH !!

Weatherwise in Zimbabwe, entering the New Year is always like turning a corner. Before Christmas and New Year the weather is dreadful, (they have always called October Suicide Month in Bulawayo). Its stinking hot, the flies are horrendous after their first hatching. The mozzies are legendary and the frogs are noisily waiting for rain.

The countryside prior to Christmas is hot and mean but once it is January, it seems as if the whole country, or at least Matabeleland, changes into a little cool green paradise. The clivia begin to peep from beneath their shiny rain washed waxy leaves. The Coleus are rich in their deep tapestry colours. The roses stretch and bloom towards the gentle rain aNd the grass on the verges grows at an inch a day.

On the way to Chimanimani the banks of the roadside around about Charter, only at a certain altitude mind you, Saint Josephs Lilies (or Easter Lilies) bloom in their wild thousands. Their magnificent white trumpets nodding sagely in the mist.

In the lower areas, the glorious flame lilies abound along the roadsides, their little tubers having rested quietly in the soil waiting for the rains. There is one on a verge in Suburbs, Bulawayo, where the caring gardener has slashed the verge vigorously, but carefully and lovingly leaving the Gloriosa Superba to blink and bloom happily in the sun.

Naturally Zimbabwe and Malta have tied for first place with the best climate on earth in this year's Quality of Life Index, published last week in International Living magazine !! The paradise fly catchers call elegantly in the trees and the Heuglins' babies have been born safely in spite of the crows and gymnogenes. Their proud parents love the cool damp mornings as they forage around for delicacies for their hungry babies.

The Red Eyed Turtle Dove calls hauntingly and gently close by, his call is delicious and mellow and makes one long for home...

This year we heard for the first time in years a Red Chested Cuckoo ( Piet-my-vrou ). He has called continuously and to a point ,infuriatingly, for several weeks now. HeeHoo called him on his Roberts bird caller and the little guy was so furious that there was someone in his territory that he called loudly and determinedly ALL NIGHT long, just to chase away the dastardly interloper. I googled the little fellow and not being an Afrikaans speaker instead of typing in "Piet-my-vrou" I googled "Pik My Fro" and came up with an astonishing little gem

Instead of a bird I came across "How do I pick out the sides and the back side of my afro? .." Ah yes, life in Bulawayo is beautiful, there may be potholes, power cuts, and plastic bags but the positives far outweigh the negatives.

DELIBES: COPP LIA
Friday 21 January in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m.

Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members]
CHARIOTS OF FIRE
Thursday 27 January in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m.

Admission: $3.00
WEST SIDE STORY
Friday 28 January in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m.
N.B. NO supper interval The film of "West Side Story" was released fifty years ago in 1961 and won ten Academy Awards including "Best Picture 1961". Starring Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer, Russ Tamblyn, Rita Moreno and George Chakiris, it is a stunning piece of visual entertainment and has often been described as the best film musical ever made. It initiates a short season of stage works by Leonard Bernstein - further dates: Thursday 3 February Bernstein: Mass 7.30 p.m. Friday 4 February Bernstein: Candide 6.30 p.m. [introduced by Petroc Trelawny] Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members]
BERNSTEIN: MASS
Thursday 3 February in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m.
"Mass" is perhaps the most ambitious and controversial piece Leonard Bernstein composed and in no way a setting of the liturgy but a theatrical piece for a full symphony orchestra, marching band, rock group, electronic music, children's and adult choruses and a dance group. This performance was recorded live in 2003 in the Papal Audience Hall in Vatican City before an audience that included over thirty cardinals! Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members]
BERNSTEIN: CANDIDE
Friday 4 February in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m.
- with supper interval. Petroc Trelawny will introduce the DVD. "Candide" was Bernstein's child of sorrow, a Broadway musical based on Voltaire's novel that preceded "West Side Story" and flopped. It was over thirty years before its comic and musical genius were fully appreciated and this concert performance conducted by the composer was recorded in London only a few months before his death. "...the most exciting video I have come across this year." The Guardian Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members]
PETROC TRELAWNY TALKS ABOUT THE PROMS
Tuesday 8 February in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m.
After his appearances at last year's Bulawayo Music Festival, Petroc Trelawny is well known in Bulawayo.

THE WAY WE LIVE NOW
Thursdays 10, 17 & 24 February in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m.
This award-winning serial tells the story of a society in turmoil, where money, power and corruption are the order of the day. Set in the railway boom of the 1870s, it contains all the elements that made Trollope the most popular novelist of the day, the trials and tribulations of young love, the enduring values of honourable men.. "...pacy and funny and beautifully acted." The Times. Admission: $3.00 [$6.00 the series]

THE ART OF LIVING - "Divine Thoughts"
Your words, your dreams, and your thoughts have power to create conditions in your life. What you speak about, you can bring about. If you keep saying you can't stand your job, you might lose your job. If you keep saying you can't stand your body, your body can become sick. If you keep saying you can't stand your car, your car could be stolen or just stop operating. If you keep saying you're broke, guess what? You'll always be broke. If you keep saying you can't trust a man or trust a woman, you will always find someone in your life to hurt and betray you. If you keep saying you can't find a job, you will remain unemployed. If you keep saying you can't find someone to love you or believe in you, your very thought will attract more experiences to confirm your beliefs. If you keep talking about a divorce or break up in a relationship, then you might end up with it. Turn your thoughts and conversations around to be more positive and power-packed with faith, hope, love and action. Don't be afraid to believe that you can have what you want and deserve. Watch your Thoughts, they become words. Watch your Words, they become actions. Watch your Actions, they become habits. Watch your Habits, they become character. Watch your Character, for it becomes your Destiny. The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settle for. In the search for Me, I discovered Truth. In the search for Truth, I discovered Love. In the search for Love, I discovered GOD. And in God, I have found Everything. Be Blessed Watch how your circumstances and situations begin to change when you change the way you speak. DIVINE THOUGHTS is the of ART OF LIVING !!
THE ART OF LIVING FOUNDATION ZIMBABWE is excited to bring back the dynamic, inspiring & entertaining Senior Teacher SANTOSHJI for the HEALTH & HAPPINESS WORKSHOP !!

In loving Memory of Sandra Elaine Nell who passed away peacefully on 24 Jan 2008 in Byo, Lovingly remembered by Kathy, Christine & Toby
If in one fleeting moment we could see you smile
We'd give up everything we have
So we could hold your hand for a while
We all love you so much
We miss you so badly
And we won't ever forget
The happy times that we shared
Remembering you is easy
We do it every day
Missing you is the hardest part
As it never goes away
To hear your voice.
To see your smile
To sit with you and talk for a while
Would be our greatest wish
Today, tomorrow, our whole life through
We shall always love and remember you.

In loving Memory of Sandra Elaine Nell, mother to Carl, Kim and granny to Michaela & Levi:

Softly within the shadows
God gave a gentle call
With farewells left unspoken
Mum, you silently left us all
Our hearts still ache with sadness and
Silent tears still flow
For what it means to love and miss you, Mum

BULAWAYO ISLAND HOSPICE SERVICE
Thanks to the generosity of our wonderful Bulawayo people we were able to continue our free home based palliative care and end of life counseling services (please note that a small percentage of our patients are on a medical aid scheme who are able to assist in their palliative care costs) to the following number of patients during the year of 2010
number of patients admitted:- 249
number of terminally ill patients:- 241
number of in house patients:- 23
number of life threatened patients:- 8
number of patients passed away:- 124
Total number of home based care
and end of life counseling visits:- 4340

Bulawayo Island hospice service is a Bulawayo urban Home Based Palliative Care Service, an officially registered welfare organisation, and is a holistic service caring for those who are in need of the systematic control of pain and end of life counseling facing a life threatening disease such as Cancer, Diabetes, Emphysema, TB. etc. ' Bulawayo Island is totally reliant on the generosity of the public and business sector of our city and is also involved, from time to time, in fund raising activities. There is also a monthly contribution scheme where the commercial and industrial community are invited to contribute to the monthly salary of our nursing staff and administration compliment, a total of 8 permanent staff. To enable our nurses to visit our patients they each have a small car that bravely battles the challenging road conditions in our city and these also need constant maintenance due to the age of our fleet.

Based at 2 George Sulindika Ave (around the corner from Queens Sports Club) our offices are open during normal office hours. Should you require someone to collect any donations from you, or are in need of our services, please phone us on 77972 with your details.

R.E.D. PROPERTY & AUCTIONS
Compliments of the season to clients, customers and friends. Hope you had a good break from the daily battle to survive. Perhaps, like me, a good deal of the holiday was spent watching the excellent Ashes test series, which the good guys won, and the more easily watched S.A vs. India. Happily my wife enjoys cricket too, but we both sigh with exasperation at the Aussie commentators. International cricket seems to be plagued with a swarm of them, and why supersport decided to lump Southern African viewers with Oz commentators rather than the tried and tested Brits is beyond me.
The nasal twang aside, the jarring accent etc., can almost be borne (with volume turned right down), but their outrageous pro-Oz bias cannot. Anyway, it didn't do their team much good - soundly trounced by the better side. Right, to business.

A) R.E.D. PROPERTY
Sales
Ordinarily, November and December are busy months for property sales - returnees from Diaspora etc., trying to invest, ...... but not this year, and certainly not in Bulawayo. Has BCC put off investors by making too much of the water situation? Probably, and it may be that for once Government is correct in telling Council to put a sock in it. Mind you, why the powers that be can't get their joint act together re Byo's water supply is beyond me. (Or is it?!) That said, a couple of swift early January sales restored a bit of confidence and hopefully not a flash in the pan. Certainly Harare and Mutare are recording good meaningful sales, so I think we can reasonably expect an upswing in Byo, all things being equal. We have well over 100 properties on our books to sell, so supply not a problem. Phone 882944/6, and speak to Ding Mukono on 0712 397 632 or Beryl Muir on 0772 830 504. Alternatively, call at 98a. S. Parirenyatwa (Borrow St.) between 9th and 10th Ave. If you can't sell you a property, we can always talk cricket and take the mickey out of the Oz commentators.
Valuations
As the only independent Chartered Valuation Surveyors in Matabeleland, and with nearly 40 years experience of property valuations throughout Zimbabwe, R.E.D. Property (formerly Holland & Redfern (Byo.) Chartered Surveyors) is ideally placed to offer you sound, professional advice on the value of your asset. Valuations effected for : Market Value : Mortgage/Finance : Insurance : Bookkeeping purposes, and : Deceased Estates
And our fees are not as high as you might think. Call for a quotation.
Property Management
We manage selected properties for rent, and our arrears record is good. Each property is allocated to an individual member of staff who ensures collection of rentals and regular inspections. B) R.E.D. AUCTIONS Located at 14 Luton St., Belmont, in our own premises, we hold weekly Wednesday auctions of nearly everything - from cars, furniture to household smalls. Sellers' goods are sold for realistic prices - i.e. not given away, and if the bid price not high enough, then "not sold" and either kept over to the next sale. Or sold out of hand (5 days a week). We don't tolerate any "funny business", buyers know that they get an honest deal, and we account to the sellers in cash on the Monday following the sale. AND - if you need urgent cash, we will pay you in cash either the full amount, or a part payment up front. Give us a try. Call 886013 for an idea of value, or to arrange collection. Alternatively, deliver to 14 Luton St. 5 days a week.

Looking for Sean Johnson
I was on the verge of visiting him in Zim in 1998, but he remained working overseas, Japan I think, and we lost touch. The recent program on TV that I told you about "Mugabe and the White Farmer" upset me and got me thinking that I'd like to know what happened to him and his family About 12 years ago I worked with a guy called Sean Johnson at a German bank in London, called WestLB. He had girlfriend/fiancee called Carmen. Her parents lived at 29 Kent Road, Chisipite. Harare. He was a Zimbabwean qualified chartered accountant His parents lived at 48 Rhodesville avenue, Highlands, Harare. I rang the number, but they moved out about a year ago and was told..
His parents went to Cottage 3 in a care/retirement complex called Athol Evans in Cranbourne, harare. His father is P Johnson I believe.
I got given a mobile number, but no-one has ever answered.I can understand any nervousness if they are elderly and don't recognise the number. The number is ZIM 0772 264 114 If anyone can help trace Sean for me I would be very grateful Jason Lacey My email is - Jason.lacey@bt.com

33) TIDBITS


HARARE, 17th January 2011
Zimbabwe Online (Pvt) Ltd "ZOL" and Yo Africa (Pvt) Ltd "Yo!Africa", two of Zimbabwe's Internet Service Providers (ISPs) announce that they have entered a strategic alliance aimed at lowering the cost of service delivery, whilst increasing reliability and ensuring the end user has the best possible Internet connection at an affordable price.
ZOL is an ISP established in 1995. It pioneered the Internet in Zimbabwe by consistently being the first to bring to the market new technology and services for over 15 years. Yo!Africa is an ISP established in 2004. It has led the broadband revolution in Zimbabwe by bringing in low cost connectivity over copper lines.
The end result of this strategic alliance is a wider- reaching network that is faster, cheaper and more reliable for end users of Internet services.
In the future the ISPs hope to find ways to maximise Zimbabwe's telecommunications infrastructure to avoid infrastructure duplication and to efficiently use incoming investment to the country. Looking ahead, the two ISPs are seeking further strategic alliances, especially with licensed providers that will enable high-quality "last mile" access to the end user. yo! africa
