Back in Bulawayo

My welcome back to Bulawayo was fantastic up to a point. I will elaborate later.

Ilan and Silvi picked me up at the airport. After temporarily losing 2 of my bags of medical supplies to Zimbabwe customs we went to Silvi's house to watch the hugely important football (soccer) game between Man United and Arsenal. I say temporarily because I am sure I will be able to recover the supplies and take then to the appropriate medical facilities. As far as the football game is concerned, we lost 1-0. It makes for winning the Premiership a little more difficult and losing to Arsenhole is painful enough.

David and Shelley Lasker had a braai(barbecue) dinner for all of us in the evening. As usual it was a wonderful meal and great chatting and catching up with a bunch of my Bulawayo friends. Also there were Dennis (of ZimKids fame) and his wife Elli.

Had a good nights sleep at Ilan’s home until he woke me up at 6:30 am to tell me that Osama Bin Laden had been killed. What a fantastic wake up call that was. Obama 1 Osama 0. Good riddance.

Now, I don’t know if any of you remember the dead bat picture. It was from a while back and it was Ilan’s cats that had killed and dismembered the bat and left me the gift next to my bed. Well, their welcome this time was to bring in a live field mouse, proceed to play with it for a while and then kill and eat it ! Yuch, but I do have pictures. Quite prophetic though. Rat killed in Abbotabad and mouse killed in Bulawayo !

Help someone else to help themselves.
