It is economic treachery I know, sabotage in fact. I should be ashamed of myself for being so false hearted, but then I suppose I had no option !! I stretched out my hand and painfully placed the offending article in my shopping cart. I felt two- faced, treasonous even..... "what would Mother think"? I gulped silently, casting a furtive traitorous look up at the nearest cloud from whence She always sits watching me !! After all, there was no other alternative but to take the Pick and Pay No-name brand of Orange Juice rather than my usual favoured and much loved brand of Mazoe!!! One could always blame it on "sanctions" I suppose like the rest of the nation but Mother would never have relented under any such a ridiculous pressure. For more years than I can remember Mazoe Orange Concentrate has been in our lives. Every Saturday without fail, Brother Gavin and I would mix up our supply of Mazoe cordial for the week. In those days of yore, Mazoe produced a concentrated concentrate, where a diminutive bottle of about 500 ml would eventually end up as 5 x one litre bottles of this superb cordial. Liberal amounts of water and sugar stirred continuously in a giant pot would dilute the dense sour concentrate into sheer, unadulterated nectar !! Gavin and I would squabble as to who would stir, who would pour who would sip first !! There were very few affluent folk in Rhodesia in the fifties and sixties. Post-war Baby Boomers were born into simple homes, where luxuries were few, and treats were seldom. Coca Cola was only found in our house on high days and very special holidays, every other day it was good old Mazoe orange. A standard school day break-time lunch box comprised one of those oblong plastic bottles filled with Mazoe orange juice, nicely chilled ..... and a Bovril sambo !! Mum would sometimes allow us a tiny wee drop of her Roses Lime Juice that was reserved for very special guests who drank Gin, Lime and Soda, (for medicinal reasons only you must understand) but other than that it was Mazoe Orange Juice and nothing but Mazoe Orange Juice !! Sadly since the Price Freeze Frenzy ..... Mazoe has totally disappeared from our shelves, it has gone so far in the black market underground that it has left a giant gaping wound in our lives !! I have on occasion tried delicious Mr Juicy but that has also disappeared ! And so this is my reason for being so treacherous and being forced to imbibe a no-name brand orange cordial which is so foreign to my cultured and discerning palette. I am so pleased Mum is not here to suffer the vagaries of Zimbabwe as it is at the moment. You can bet your bottom dollar she is up there, as we speak, cigarette in hand, hurling abuse and shooting arrows at the dreaded task force with her pretty little cupids bow. !! Speaking about cigarettes, well that's another story which needs to be told !! ++++++++++++ +++++++++ + 2) WEEKLY WATER WATCH You will be glad to know that our water woes have come to an end as ZINWA has acquired 50 sewer rods !! WE ARE IN DIRE DIRE DIRE STRAITS WITH OUR WATER, NO LIGHT YET AT THE END OF ANY TUNNEL !!! +++++++++ "Loved your article on the dreaded water cannon. Better pressure than what we have at home. I now know the importance of "clean safe drinking water" having lost 4 kg Saturday to this morning with gastro. Not a good time considering the shortage of loo rolls and due to no farmers no mealy cobs. With my "cast iron" gut I have never had a tummy ailment that I considered only woosies got. I asked my dear and glorious physician to take away the gripes but leave the symptoms for a week or two to loose 10kg. On purification tablets: During the bush activities we drank some pretty foul liquids but we always put a Halazone tablet into our water bottle and shook it. Never had a problem so I guess they really worked. I looked up the brand name on the net. If interested please go to http:// www.gripolabs. diytrade. com/sdp/604056/ 4/pd-3112121/ 3280271-1426844. html" Knowlee +++++++++ I really cannot comprehend your lack of water as we always have plenty, it must be too dreadful for words, especially for the likes of hospitals. But after last weeks Carte Blanche programme and the cave story where plantations of pine trees were planted over the cave and it no longer has any water in the caves and they now look endangered, has Bulawayo the same problem. I remember being at school in Bulawayo and all the gum trees that were planted along the river near Coghlan, Milton Jr and Eveline schools. They are very thirsty trees indeed and sure they have destroyed the water level of Bulawayo...even a place outside Bulawayo is called Gumtree!! If all these trees were destroyed the water level would rise and there would be stacks of wood for the people who are always suffering from power cuts. Sure someone could make a good business of this maybe not for long...just a thought Hate to see the old beautiful town of Bulawayo suffer so much. rolypads ++++ I've just read the Morning Mirror and you mention micro-waving sponges and dishcloths to sterilise them... PLEASE DON'T DO THIS!! IT IS A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD!!! There was a report on this a few weeks ago on the BBC news website, including quotes from a police chief. It appears it's a habit which has become popular in the UK, and whilst it does work on germs it has caused numerous house fires, because the sponges are actually highly, and easily, combustible. If you read any microwave instruction book it will give you a list of things which shouldn't be used for cooking or heated in a microwave, and cloths and sponges are generally amongst them. The way a microwave works is by causing molecules (in the case of food and drinks, it is the water molecules which the food etc contains) to vibrate extremely quickly, creating friction which in turn creates heat. It's fine to do this with things that have either a high water content, or a stable molecular structure (ie glass, microwave safe plastics and most ceramics) but anything that does not have this structure and / or the high water content is at risk of creating too much heat and catching fire. Sponges especially are made from organic chemical compounds, and many are made from petroleum (ie crude oil) derivatives, so once they get hot, they will burn. Put your dishcloths and sponges in a saucepan of boiling water for five minutes, just as you would do with baby bottles and even your drinking water, and they will be sterilised. And you don't need an expensive microwave, just a pot, a heat source and enough water to keep them covered whilst you are boiling them - do not, of course, let the pot boil dry. You will also be able to see how much dirt comes out of them. And if you don't want to boil them, let them soak in a solution of Jik, if you can get it. Please, for the sake of safety, can you mention this? I don't want to be named - just don't want anyone to have a fire because they've tried this at home !! L.F. ++++++++++++ ++ 3) NOTICES 1/.

Regards, Yvonne email me or telephone 011 213 945 ++++++++++ Dear family/friends On behalf of Count on Us, I am organising a "sponsored walk" for Keano Klein please see attached photos. Keano is two years old (in Bulawayo), who has a rare blood disorder, DD Kostmanns Syndrome & S.C.N Severe Congenital Neutrophenia. Keano is now 2 years old and has already had 7 operations (that's all that they can do for him, with the current problems they all face here in Zimbabwe). Keano lives on an injection a life saving one that is very; very costly it is $74 800 000/day (extremely expensive) Chantelle Moore (Keano's mother) has been able to get a donation from the manufacturers, in Switzerland, with a 3 months supply. Chantelle is trying to get Keano into Canada, U.K, Australia, New Zealand or Netherlands for further tests. Keano needs a bone marrow transplant but for now he needs to have a test (genetic test), which is only done outside Zimbabwe. The test is to determine the origin of the disease he has, where it came from etc. The sponsor walk will take place in South London; the walk will take place on a Sunday morning in September and should take approximately 2 hours (max), to complete. We are desperately looking to recruit individuals to participate. Do you have a few hours that you could give up for the benefit of the little Keano? To judge the level of interest, I have attached a "registration form", if you would like to participate, please complete and return to me. Please e mail Marion Strachan for a registration form ++++++++++++ + 4) ROSES AND RASPBERRIES ++++++++++++ ++ 5) CONGRATULATIONS "Peter and Fiona Tzircalle are thrilled to announce the birth of their son Markos Kyriakos on 21 September 2007.
