Washed the only long shirt. Fan room, 01:33, 1 Sep. NC is on Heat Bulletin 01 tomorrow. I need the shirt modest for a dagoba. Partner says hang it out the window.

Hang it on the fan line, not out a dark window over a lane. It may still be damp at 5:30. Wear the second shirt if you have one. A damp long shirt on NC stone under Caution is a chill then a cook. Buy a cheap covered shirt in town at 8 if you must. I will not invent a laundry curfew.

We pointed the fan at it all night. Still a bit damp. Wore the other one. Fine.

Pride wears wet linen into Mihintale and then a cold.

We waited, drank tea, went later. Fine. Nobody gave us a medal.
