This is much closer to the time I should be beginning to input my daily content on this weblog. I did try and sleep close to 0100hrs this morning but struggled to sleep, anxious to get my routine right before 'too much water flows under the bridge'.

I am to set out on another journey today, although I hope to be back by the evening.

I took the following screenshot at the turn of the year in light of the miracles (or rather debacles) that take place in the (conformist as in conforming to the foreign occupation) political landscape of AJK.

My appearance was belated as fated:
