Are you planning to keep this up? You will be exhausted. But a really good read.

Thanks Walter. What do you mean about keeping it up?

I mean wide-ranging pieces of this length.

Thank you for your concern, Walter.

I am rather exhausted but that is mainly because of the extreme heat and humidity in Colombo at the moment. Also, I took a tumble on July 8 and badly injured my right eye. I spent two nights in hospital - first time in my life. I have had a few follow up checks and everything seems to be OK. My ribs still hurt which disturbs my sleep.

I have been writing these kind of rambling screeds since my Open Salon days in 2008. Trump might call it a weave. I find it quite relaxing. This was new material but I have got a huge back catalogue which I plan to repurpose for Substack.

Get better soon. LIfe is a bitch sometimes. Grey and damp here today, but a heatwave is apparently just round the corner.

It’s been raining here every day but it’s very hot as well. Thanks Walter.
