Ausgabe 69
Februar 2020

      Gestern kam die Inge an:
      Kappi, du bist doch ein tüchtiger Mann.
      Mach ein Gedicht für Zweitausendundzwanzig.
      Du bist zwar vor Alter schon etwas ranzig,
      doch schaffst du's bestimmt bis morgen,
      darüber mach ich mir keine Sorgen.

      Kappi wollt' endlich gemütlich leben,
      und hat sich deshalb in die 'Frail Care‘ begeben.
      Nun muß der Ärmste schon wieder denken
      und sich dabei das Gehirn verrenken:
      Was könnt' es im Jahr zweinullzwanzig geben,
      und wie berührt das unser Leben?

      Was erwarte ich denn im Neuen Jahr?
      Es soll möglichst bleiben wie es war:
      Wir werden weiter mit Liebe betreut,
      das Leben hier hat uns noch nie gereut!
      Gott schütze "Gardens", "Park" und das Heim,
      dann werden wir alle behütet sein.

St. Johannis Engel

On November 29 we were very well entertained by the choir of the U3A (choir
or the 3rd Age, in other words us):

I will describe this organisation later, but some residents in the home are already
members of it, and I teach French there. The choir was led by Don Bedford, a
fellow singer of "Con Spirito" and colleague at the U3A: Also present as a
guitarist was Freddie Kühirt, who plays in the music group at
Geburtstagssingen here.

 The choir sang a very varied medley ranging from classical pieces , " Canton
Alleluia" by Mozart and the melodious "Die Ehre Gottes in der Natur" by
Beethoven, to the beautiful, "Morning has broken" and a varied selection fro,
"Les Miserables" including "I dreamed a dream" with which the singer, Susan
Boyle, became an international star several years ago. The folksong
"Shenandoh" was also included. It is very difficult to include the name of every
song, as the repertoire was so varied, and we thoroughly enjoyed it and
appreciated the energy of the singers.

 The U3A began in France to offer pensioners a new skill or help them brush up
on what they have learnt Its title is "Universite du troisieme age". As the
language of diplomacy the French refer to senior citizens as " the third age":
The Tygerberg branch has roughly 700 members, registered for academic and
other skills, e.g. "Line dancing"; " Wine tasting"; "Scrabble" etc.
 The next term will begin in February 2020,when a programme of activities will
be produced, which I can make available here.

Hooting it out
A few months ago, we reported on our
new feathery friend, a Cape Eagle Owl.
It looks like he enjoys his stay with us so
much, that he has invited a (hopefully)
lady-friend to join him. Yes, we have
two wonderful creatures living here
now! Maybe our retirement premises
will double as a creche soon?
