Recent phone calls to Mum have revolved around the subject of a new video player Maureen & John got for her and how difficult it has been to programme the machine. It looks as if the saga is coming to an end with some kind of success involved, though this seems to depend on whether a recently recorded programme plays back as expected. For someone who claims to watch very little television ('There's nothing on these days'), it's odd how large all this looms in her life. Of course, it's a relief that she's fit enough for these things to loom at all.
I'm now considering what to pack for a Drama Camp we're holding for the next couple of days in school. I can always drive back for emergency supplies I suppose, but I'd like to survive comfortably without having to do too much motoring. Basically the students, or rather the Executive Committee of the club, will run the camp so the teachers involved are just around in an advisory capacity. It cuts into the holidays but it's not something that I greatly mind since it's easy to see the point of it all educationally. In fact, it has the makings of time well spent if it works.

Melaka? My family comes from what is now known as Jln Tun Tan Cheng Lock (I think), and which used to be called Heeren Street. Tan Cheng Lock was a kinsman of mine, of some small notoriety as a government-sponsored errm... better stop here.
A pity to break off, just when it was getting really interesting. Heeren Street's still a lovely place, despite the parking there.
