Same metre a friend marked on night two — still free at 6:53 or already a stool farm on moat bend with sit-mat — elder knees, slick clay
Friend sent a pin. Third Kumbal listed 6:53. Hotel balconies look sold. We can stand the street. Not paying a pavement uncle for air. two packs.

Do not treat a friend's metre as reserved. It is pavement. Come earlier than you think. Street is still free. Chairs on the pavement are a vendor habit, not a reserved street. Stand behind them or pick Dalada and ignore the chairs. Do not pay a pavement uncle for air.
Third night the crowd knows. moat bend with sit-mat fills with stools. Slide ten metres, sit low, do not argue with a family who got there first.
We tried to reclaim a gap and looked rude. New corner, same street, no speech.
If anyone is shaky, a new corner with wall behind you beats a fight over last night's metre.
Asgiriya side is a dead angle some nights. Kinder with kids. Honest about backs and flags.
Katukele pin pin after drums is walkable if bags are dumped. Do not meet there as a viewing stand. Too far.
We stood behind the chairs and still saw. Paying for air is how you start a mood.
