Morning Mirror is a publication run for the benefit of Bulawayo's only geriatric and frail care home - the Edith Duly Nursing home ++++ EDITORIAL Back to School! Sending one's first Grandchild to first day at Kindergarten was full of emotion, almost as poignant as sending one's own children to school... Gary went to REPS which was very hard on his mother as she overlooked the fabled forays into the Matopos, and instead all she could think of was that her Wee First Born was destined to five years of ice cold showers! (I wonder if they have hot water in the REPS hostels yet ) Second child Joanne was just 'up the road' at Kumalo School for primary school, a fine institution where Frik De Beer was her Headmaster. Third Girl Child's first day at Hebrew English Nursery School was a milestone, and when Dad went to collect her, he fell from Grace horribly!! There, right at the front door, was a Lyons Maid Ice Lolly Man grinning from ear to ear. All the Little Darlings were being treated to a 'First Day at School' ice cream, but par for the course, Daddy had not a single penny in his pocket... The Ice Cream Vendor refused to accept a credit card, and Daddy had to beguile one of the many 'Yummy Mummies' to lend him a couple of bob!! Hebrew English Nursery School was special, devoted staff, small and intimate and the school celebrated the charismatic Jewish traditions like Shabat on Fridays where the Dads would all sit on tiny chairs and wear Yamulkekes. My Wee Grandchild is attending a fabulous school in Stockholm and Day One was indeed tearful, not for the Wee Boy, but for Mom and Nana!! Just on five years old, and left in the heart of one of the most beautiful citys in the world!! A far cry from the valiant little pre school in Addis Ababa!! It's a long day for a five year old, 8.30 am until 3.20 pm, but he arrived home full of the joys of spring and utterly exhausted. His Paw Patrol back-pack was almost bigger than him, snack box, pencil case, sports wear and indoor shoes making up the bulk of the items. My snack boxes were legendary at Kumalo and Whitestone schools, but the Swedes are renowned for their healthy eating so out with the crisps, korn curls, candy, fruit juices and absolutely no peanut products!! Instead we had liver sausage sambos, strawberries, banana, blueberries, carrot sticks and apple!! The school has a canteen for the main meal where fresh fish, salmon and vegetables are staple foods! The day I dread the most however is when the school bus comes to the house to collect him, now that will indeed be a 'kleenex' moment!! ++++ Watchdog Are you tired of being at home with nothing to do during the pandemic Well we have a treat for you, Alliance Francaise de Bulawayo brings you Ingoma dans le Jardin (Music in the garden) a live stream concert on Friday 20 August 2021 at 6pm.The concert features 3 talented bands namely: Charles Banda (Mahlaba and Counterpoint) Buhle Sharon Ndlovu (Buhle leNgqondo) Simz Masuku & Reilo Viekk Get your dancing shoes on and enjoy the music with us Alliance_Francaise_de_Bulawayo@mail.vresp.com ++++ 2) Notices and Events ZIMBABWE ACADEMY OF MUSIC & PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO Tel: 60684 / 67195 E-mail: mailto:zamfriends@gatorzw.co.uk The Academy will re-open for lessons as soon as schools are allowed to resume.

AB, I am so so heart broken that you are gone. So many special and funny memories I will never forget.

Shop All the volunteers who work at the charity shop deserve a big pat on the back, but they DO need items to sell! - apparently the shelves are rather bare, so they would appreciate any unwanted saleable household goods, such as ornaments, glassware, crockery, pictures, clothing, garden tools, small items of furniture, jam jars for the jam makers! - in fact anything they can sell to make money to help the kennels. They have Ecocash for convenience - items can be dropped off at the Charity shop - 127e,Robert Mugabe Way.
