Hikkaduwa after dark at 19:20 — do not put a toddler in, poles are not a night story, Amber has been off since 11:30

The pole is a beach flag, not the Met product that expired at 11:30. Amber is hours off. Night is last hops and boards, not a marine colour. Stay where you can stand. No inflatables past the first break. Air is kinder. Rooms still hold the day's heat. Sit shade between dips. The bar does not write flags. I will not quote Amber as if it were still up. Amber is hours off. Night is last hops and boards, not a marine colour. Night is last hops, lit boards, and rooms. I will not invent a 2 Sep night timetable, a whale, or a live warning colour. Write the fare, pin from light, sleep.
