Daily Diary (DD) - Day 82 of 2026

1657hrs:

Today didn't produce the kickstart efficiency that I had naively envisaged. Sleeping soon after midnight (4 hours later than my aspired for target) I did get up at 0830hrs (5 and a half hours later than my aspired for target) but drifted back to sleep intermittently till about 1600hrs. There's clearly still a lot of work to do.

I follow Sonam Wangchuk with keen interest, as I find him to be the most enlightened human in the whole of JKA (and even beyond I dare say):

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 76 of 2026

1216hrs:

There is almost 36 hours between today's weblog entry and yesterday's. My daily routine has been disrupted like never before. I slept at c. 0300hrs this morning having had an early Sehri and just woke up before midday. This feels light years away from my optimum daily sleeping pattern.

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 21 of 2026

0418hrs:

Something has clicked today, despite an extremely lax day yesterday whereby I missed both my morning walk and gym routine. Perhaps its the remorse setting in, given the absolutely critical stage we - as a nation have spent the best part of a century transforming from an autocracy to a well informed democracy.

Sonam Wangchuk deserves to be discussed every day. I learn that he keeps himself busy in prison too:

Nature has already written the best manuals. We just need the humility to study and apply them. https://t.co/Dm2lGcoitr
