Daily Diary (DD) - Day 328 of 2019

1141hrs:

A difficult night was followed by a night of ease. Such is the combined pattern of apathy and love that our public donates us.

Today was also a rest from ground work and public activity. Sitting inside and categorising/organising/producing data was our only concern. Apart from thinking about how to make our time useful in the given resources we are able to source.


In the afternoon, another former student has invited us to stay with him tonight.

I also realise my assistant needs a lot of training and he even needs to sharpen up his Urdu reading and writing skills. Every worthwhile task requires investment, especially in human capital.

We spent a lot of the day without cigarettes as we didn't have money and didn't want to utilise our hosts more than we were already doing. We also learned that our host this evening is also adjusting his regular pattern of living to accommodate us.

We are also getting used to eating just once a day.

Sunday is also our rest day from a daily video update point of view.
