Not is the lake empty as a 10.15 test. Not leftover sitters at 9.50. Not a family photo to prove it finished. We can still see water from the steps. Partner wants to stay until 00:00 because "Kandy at midnight after Perahera." I think 11.12 is already just a dark pond and a dog. Still worth being near the lake for the last 40 minutes, or is that a backpacker sentence we will regret on Saturday's 6.28 knees.

23:12 on a Kumbal night is leftover quiet, not a second act. The lake at 00:00 is the same lake at 23:12 with sleep stolen from Saturday 6:28 PM. If you are already on the steps, ten more minutes. If you are inland, do not walk down for a clock. 1,749 on the road this year - a midnight stroll around leftover cones is not a gazette.

Friday 11pm Foreca still 23°C / 86% / 0 mm / <10% / gusts ~14. Comfortable enough. Maligawa public hours ended 8.00 PM. Nothing official starts at midnight. I cannot swear 21 Aug 23:12 whether KMC still wants people on the wall.

We sat until 23.40, got nothing, slept badly, stood 6.28 like soup. Stay if you are already there. Do not manufacture midnight.
