(1616) And so here we are with official dusk being 1555 but I could still see a mile away fairly distinctly moments ago. In the morning, official dawn was 0824 but first light was 0747, a 37 minute gap. All right, official dusk was 1555, add 37 mins = 1632. So, watching and waiting …

1632: To all intents and purposes, it’s night but I can still make out rooftop edges and two different landscapes a mile away. Still watching. 1635: Can’t make out any features on the land over there but the differently shaded landscapes do still just contrast. I’m looking where lighting ain’t.

1655: So much lighting everywhere … on land in the mid ground with no light … impossible to differentiate. Building lights still help with the rooftops. Calling it though now … not quite pitch black. 1711: Can’t make anything out, out there, except where specific lights are. Calling it 75 mins after official for absolute. Uh huh.

Not good news I’m afraid … One … Two . Summary for readers in general … their Ts and Cs have gone globostasi. Compulsory by January. Ok, we might be unable to access after that but I suspect they’ll still let us read, not comment, which is still useful for us. 🍿🍿🍿🍿

In other news I have seen that Imran khan and his wife have ben gaoled for seventeen years for selling state gifts. It was my firm belief that his initial removal from office was prompted by western interests because of his pro Moscow position. I speak to many taxi drivers who hail from Pakistan, all of whom view Khan positively. I wonder if suspicions of a comeback have brought about his latest incarceration.
