Trigger happy

Started transferring camcorder tapes onto laptop to edit and create movie of mum and dad’s cruise vacation. Seems to be working quite nicely so far. Only done 2 tapes yet – working on the 3rd of 8. Did take some snapshots with the cam last night which turned out alright (given that they were taken in the dark with no flash). The image editing software that comes with this cam (JVC) is very rudimentary but a quick zip-thru with Photoshop makes everything alright.

Went to give blud earlier today for the health card. Was very amused by the throngs milling about outside Sh. Maktoum Hospital mumbling very shadily, "Madam, typing, madam?". Went to Karama after left dad in the hosp. I had forgotten about the soliciting shopkeepers. The merchandise doesn’t seem to have changed much since five years ago.
