The pictures above go back to last week in Melaka, when we were visiting various houses on the first day of Hari Raya. Yesterday evening we went to four houses and I was exhausted at the end of it. Why is sitting down in someone's living room and eating lots of biscuits so tiring?
I've made a bit more progress today in terms of viewing Bleak House and am now up to episode six. Dickens's so-called sentimentality translates extraordinarily well to the screen, especially as conveyed by brilliant actors. The scene between Lady Dedlock and Esther, after Esther's illness when her ladyship reveals all, reads like corny melodrama but plays with devastating power.
We did some buying-in for next week's open house at Parkway just now. These things take some preparation.
