Shoulders and knees at Bambalapitiya — doubled wrap, or the see-through scarf is rude — ordinary town Monday, not a festival
We are at Bambalapitiya in leftover-rain humidity. Beach clothes. Stall has thin prints. Kid wants to go in. I do not want to make the doorway a fitting room. Monday 31 Aug. Ordinary bags. Ordinary town Monday, not a festival. Cannot tell if this is ordinary or a tired mistake. Locals, please contradict the group chat. Optional aside if the shop already stickered it: 450g loaf plus-ten from midnight is the association extra, not a new shelf number I will invent.

A proper wrap, not a see-through scarf. If the stall only has thin prints, skip or buy two layers. Shoulders and knees. Do not make the Bambalapitiya doorway a fitting room. Skip is polite. Inside is not the street. Camera bag at the shoe counter is your problem, not theirs. I will not invent a photography fee. Street is mixed. Be small. Lived aside: association put Rs. 10 on the 450g from midnight; the village shop can still be slow to sticker. No 130/140 from me.
Kettle is enough. Banana if nothing opens. I will not invent a breakfast surcharge.
