It always happens at this time of the year in the Southern Hemisphere. Possibly it is something to do with the Jacarandas which are peeping slightly in purple shyness from some very special trees right now. Maybe it is the scent of the Syringa blossoms (a love hate battle rages within most savage breasts at this time ) Maybe it could be the bouganvilla which are stunning in the extreme this year, maybe the "yesterday Today and Tomorrow" bloom, with that exotic heady scent invades our cleanliness urges. Or possibly the glorious perfume that exudes from the Moon-flower, whose massive trumpet flowers fall too quickly especially in the September wind. Whatever it is, I can feel it welling. Being of slightly short stature and of growing short sightedness, I seldom notice cobwebs, dust and grime. But suddenly in September, my eagle eye can spot a speck, a fleck, a mite of house dust and I am out there, spit polish and all. Down come the curtains, out comes the feather duster, the washing machines roars all day long, the steam cleaner steams furiously, the soap powder in the shops becomes scarce and everyone thinks there will be a shortage and starts hoarding accordingly. "Out damned spot" I shriek in rage, Mother's voice rings in my ears from up above "Cleanliness is next to Godliness now dear !!" "All will come out in the wash" I can hear her as clear as a bell. The Bridge Girls are sad, they are surely missing my company, but I well know that It's hard to be brilliantly skilful and attentive when you have an overwhelming desire to be clean. The school committees are marking me as absent but I have a wonderful excuse "Soap and education are not as sudden as a massacre, but they are more deadly in the long run." At this time of the year I worry that I might suffer from Ablutophobia - Fear of washing or bathing or possibly Amathophobia - Fear of dust. Is there a not a hint of Bacillophobia - Fear of microbes or even a smidgen of Bacteriophobia- Fear of bacteria ? Heehoo starts muttering about OCD, he sends me links on the e mail of strange blog sites the latest with the surprising title "What is Fear Of Dirt?" Each year apparently this surprisingly common phobia causes countless people needless distress. To add insult to an already distressing condition, most fear of dirt therapies take months or years and sometimes even require the patient to be exposed repeatedly to their fear. It is however believed that not only is this totally unnecessary, it will often make the condition worse. And it is particularly cruel as fear of dirt can be eliminated with the right methods and just 24 hours of commitment by the phobic individual. Known by a number of names - Rupophobia and Fear of Dirt being the most common - the problem often significantly impacts the quality of life. It can cause panic attacks and keep people apart from loved ones and business associates. Symptoms typically include shortness of breath, rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, and overall feelings of dread, although everyone experiences fear of dirt in their own way and may have different symptoms. And so .... until Spring is Sprung and the Grass is Riz - look for me under the feather duster or standing firmly arms akimbo, next to the washing machine. The biggest worry is, what happens when a Southern Hemisphere visits the Northern Hemisphere, does the same primeval urge attack one in SPRING TIME there ? I sincerely hope not cos I am totally all washed out !! +++++++++++++++++ POOR OLD PLUTO NOW THAT THE PLANET PLUTO HAS BEEN DEMOTED, THROWN OUT OF THE SOLARE SYSTEM, BEEN RENAMED AS A DWARF PLANET AND IS NO LONGER TO BE SALUTED AS A TRUE PLANET, WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO THAT WONDERFUL OLD SAYING, USED BY COUNTLESS GENERATIONS OF SCHOLARS, TO REMEMBER THE NAMES OF THE PLANETS IN THE ORDER THAT THEY CIRCLE THE SUN ?

SAYS HENRY "I have been privileged to work with Robbie Bronnimann, one of the UK’s top producers, over the last year and I believe we have made an album that will hold its own.Due to many requests I have made Our Zimbabwe available as a download in mp3 format and also the video in high quality windows media format; for those who owned the video but have worn it out. These are for sale for a small fee. The new album will also be available for immediate download on the 28th of Sept. in high quality mp3 format, the most universal format that allows you to transfer your music with ease between your PC, portable devices and you can even burn it to CD without restriction. I have placed high quality demos in mp3 format on my website to give you a rough idea of what the songs are about. The CD will as a matter of course also be available as a CD but due to the logistics of getting them made these will only be ready mid October. Pre-orders of the CD can be made in my online store which you can get to through my website www.henryolonga.net . I will hopefully be making videos for the album running up to Christmas and into the New Year, possibly in High definition. Please feel free to pass this e- mail on to inform your friends of this news if they are interested."

Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible. -- T. E. Lawrence ++++++++ Ideas won't keep, something must be done about them. - Alfred Whitehead - +++++++++ Tequila and Salt This should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where one could read it every day. You may not realise it, but it's 100% true. 1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for. 2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way. 3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you. 4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you. 5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep. 6. You mean the world to someone. 7. You are special and unique. 8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you. 9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it. 10. When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look. 11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks. And always remember....when life hands you Lemons, ask for tequila And salt and call me over! Good friends are like stars........ You don't always see them, But you know they are always there ++++++++++++ I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me. --Isaac Newton Fact of the Day: When the National Astronomical Union (IAU) recently reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet, people worldwide had strong and widely differing reactions. While some mourned the 'demotion' of the planet, others saw the change as demonstrative of the process of scientific progress where old knowledge must make way for new. As American scientist and TV host Bill Nye put it, " Pluto’s change in status actually benefits science, because it gets people to ponder what it means to live on a planet, to live in the cosmos and be part of the universe, and what it means to try and understand these points of light in the night sky.” ++++++++++ PRAYER FOR ZIMBABWE Our Father in heaven We ask you to put your arms around the people of Zimbabwe, Help them to overcome the reins that surround them, Help them to know that we as are praying for them. We hope that as a circle of prayer surrounds the world You, Lord, hear our prayer. Dear Lord - Please save our wonderful country! Amen
