11.9.2026 Friday - Penang.Kuching

Early morning meet up with Clarissa (after her sunrise walk) and Yasmin with Sylvia who flew in from Jakarta - I have not seen her for 10 years, she kept in touch with Yasmin and decided to fly in to join us on our road trip. After a long and hot walk to the children's house, we return to our hotel to get ready for the flight home. I am relieved to go home, to familiar routines of work and exercise; drawing and planning projects, gym and swimming, and pickleball.

I miss following my work ethic of working daily; some spells of productive work interspersed with bouts of physical activity and our pets as well.
