Where did Monday go?
Can't believe I'm already
This far through the week.

A Pyrrhic victory, I hope

Shock - Mugabe has won the run-off election in which he was the only candidate participating. Nice one, Bob. You're the man. Morgan Tsvangirai called his win 'an exercise in self-delusion', which I think is a pretty accurate description. Hopefully this ridiculous scenario will spur some action on the part of other African leaders ... come on, guys!

I haven't heard from many of our friends there in the last few days, but everyone seems to be hanging in there, as usual. If there's one thing we Zimbabweans are very used to, it's hope in the face of darkness.

A warm welcome ... sort of

Home from the movies to find yet more cat spew on the carpet. The second time Mink has thrown up over the weekend, since he started on antibiotics for the war-wound on his forehead. He's booked in for surgery on Wednesday, but I think I'm going to take him in tomorrow as well - the poor wee boy can't be absorbing much of his medicine if most of it is sitting on our floors in a puddle. Oh dear.
