Mum cannot do another night on the kerb - is skipping Saturday's 5th actually a loss
She is 71. We got her back. She is done. Official table still has 5th Kumbal 6.28 tomorrow and 1st Randoli Sunday 6.44. If we skip Saturday for her knees, did we skip the "real" one or just the same loop with a different minute.

Sat 6:28 is not cancelled. It is also not the only remaining night. If she might do one more, make it Sunday 6.44 and sit further back, not a 5pm kerb grind.
Skip. Last Kumbal is still Kumbal. The visual jump locals mean is Sunday Randoli (palanquins), then Thursday's Grand Randoli. A 71-year-old who already stood Friday does not owe Saturday's 1.27 km. Sleep, tea, maybe Tooth at 9.30 if she wants a quiet hall instead of a kerb.
We skipped Wednesday after Tuesday. Sunday was the night the in-laws still talk about. Friday was enough elephants.
