Sit-mat tonight on the 6:41 kerb after a folding stool got stared at
Elder in the group. Folding stool last night collected stares and a steward wave. Second Kumbal listed 6:41. Is a folded raincoat as a sit-mat tolerated if we stay off the road, or do we just pay a balcony we cannot find.

Low sit-mat on the pavement is usually tolerated if it does not block a shop door. The moment it edges into the road, you get moved. Elder sits, bags stay behind knees.
We used a folded poncho. Less argument than a frame. If the elder cannot stand the wait, lobby until 18:10 then a short walk.
If the elder is already shaky, a sold-out balcony means skip the long wait and watch from a lake gap. Pride is how people faint.
