Morning Mirror is a publication run for the benefit of Bulawayo's only geriatric and frail care home - the Edith Duly Nursing home ++++ EDITORIAL AN APOCALYPSE - AND THE WORLD SITS BY COMFORTABLY. It's all very well talking about the weather and the mynah birds, but something much more serious is happening in the world...... Ukraine. The media has asked for it not to be called 'War' or 'Invasion' but with all the disinformation and propaganda going around, it's hard for the average man in the street to gasp the enormity of it all. People are dying, homes are being bombed, millions are on the march searching for safely. It's still winter in Europe and have just come from Scandinavia, trust me its still bitterly cold. I think it all came rushing at me in particular when I saw the long line of prams/strollers, that Polish women had left on the station platform as a gift to Ukrainian refugee mothers....and then of course the bombing of the maternity hospital in Mariupol....what else will be necessary to persuade the world that it is on the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe." 'War is not the answer, War Is Never The Answer' Wise Words From The Last Surviving Nuremberg Prosecutor. "War makes murderers out of otherwise decent people. All wars, and all decent people' But something has to be done to stop this terrible path to utter tragedy worldwide. ++++ Watchdog Plea to local restaurants!! Please please increase the size of your paper table napkins!! This happened before in 2008 when paper was short and the restaurants were actually tearing the existing napkins in half!! Now I kid you not, one of these itsby bitsy table napkins do not cover my lap to prevent spillage. In fact I need TWO napkins, one for each thigh!!! The paper napkins that are doing to the rounds at the moment are, at a pinch, six inches square, and usually just one ply!! I have it on authority - my Mother and Google - that In terms of size, napkins can range from 12-inch squares for luncheon napkins to 18-inch squares for luxurious dinner napkins. I have made it my mission to carry one of Mom's damask napkins in my capacious handbag at all times!! ++++ NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT THE 51st ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF GARDEN PARK TRUST WILL BE HELD ON WEDNESDAY 23rd MARCH 2022 AT 1430 HOURS IN THE COMMUNITY CENTRE AT GARDEN PARK. ++++ 2) Condolences/In Memoriam/Wreath Funds CONDOLENCES It's with deep sadness that we share the news that Neville Oliphant (BJN), who was a friend to many readers of Morning Mirror, passed away on 12th February, 2022. He lived in Zimbabwe from his birth in 1941 to 2004 when we moved to Scottburgh, KZN South Coast, but he continued to keep abreast of Zim news and sport. A beloved and devoted husband, father and grandfather, we will treasure the special memories. Neville was one of a kind and we couldn't have had better! We thank God for his life. Always in our hearts with so much love!! lesbjno@gmail.com ++++ 3) Notices and Events ZIMBABWE ACADEMY OF MUSIC & PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO Tel: 2260684 / 2267195 E-mail: mailto:zamfriends@gatorzw.co.uk The Academy office is open 8.30 a.m. - 4.30 p.m. Monday to Friday.

NO TIME TO DIE No Time to Die is the twenty-fifth and most recent in the James Bond series. Bond is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica after leaving active service. However, his peace is short-lived as his old CIA friend, Felix Leiter, shows up and asks for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond on the trail of a mysterious villain who's armed with a dangerous new technology. - Craig leaves the series in a mammoth, 163-minute extravaganza that audiences will be enjoying for decades. It's a lovely thing to see. [San Francisco Chronicle] - By whatever metrics you measure a Bond movie - tight plotting, gnarly villains, emotional sincerity - Craig's final outing is a rip-roaring success. [Time Out] Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film Members] FRIDAY 11 MARCH AT 6.30 P.M. THE TAMING OF THE SHREW - BALLET. Jean-Christophe Maillot's inspired adaptation of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew was created for the Bolshoi in 2013. Now Maillot's own Monte Carlo Ballet bring this 'funny, fast-witted version' (The Guardian) to the screen, with a fresh and witty re-interpretation of the combative relationship between Katherine and Petruchio as they fight to find true love. - It's a fantastic ballet .. The quality of the dancing is first rate and the choreography is highly creative and brimming with sexual energy. This is the best ballet video release in years. [Amazon] - This is very accomplished and wonderfully entertaining, good acting, humour, choreography, dancing and music. Probably the best new ballet that has been seen in the last few years. [ubuy.co.in] Admission: $2.00 [free to Red Carpet Members] THURSDAY 17 MARCH AT 6.30 P.M. STAR WARS IV: A NEW HOPE The first film in the Star Wars series was released forty-five years ago on 25 May 1977 and subsequently subtitled Episode IV: A New Hope. It rapidly became a worldwide phenomenon and generated a whole series of films all of which have been or will be shown at the Academy! - Endlessly imitated but never rivalled, this opening instalment of George Lucas's original space trilogy dresses up the timeless tale of good versus evil with ground-breaking special effects and a dazzling array of intergalactic characters. [Radio Times] - A magnificent film. George Lucas set out to make the biggest possible adventure fantasy out of his memories of serials and older action epics, and he succeeded brilliantly. [Variety] Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film Members] FRIDAY 18 MARCH AT 6.30 P.M. LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! Celebrated film composer John Williams turned 90 in February so an evening of the Berlin Philharmonic conducted by Sir Simon Rattle playing film music seems an apt choice, including as it does music from Raiders of the Lost Ark, ET and Star Wars as well as from Mutiny on the Bounty, The Adventures of Robin Hood, Ben Hur, The Big Country, Tom and Jerry and more. If that's not enough, there will also be more Williams from Gustavo Dudamel and the composer himself in extracts from a second concert celebrating his music. - In addition to the thrill of hearing one of the world's greatest orchestras giving this music as good performances as it is ever likely to get, the Berliners really let their hair down for this one. [Amazon] - Itzhak Perlman gave intense heart-felt renderings of the Schindler's List music - dramatic and tenderly nostalgic.
