Unsure if Ryanair Lion haircut post is related. Uncanny timing if it is unrelated.

SC voids a remission granted by Fmr Pres RW in 2024; who now joins Fmr Pres MS and GR in misusing Art 34 Fmr Pres RW's affidavit agrees with laws relating to Art 34 AND developing processes/rules applying to Art 34 (extract). Politically then, an unintended gift to Pres AKD...

Almost as if recent curses rebound, remaining protestors pull up stumps. Rebuked too? Sensibly, the chief monks prefer dialogue and law and order compliance. Helps a widely respected faith reduce chatter about juju stunts, robed dérobé hotel visits etc teapaw.org/NewsWireLK/status/2114…

10 days allows trekking Rwenzoris, summit 4125m snow-capped Mt Stanley (non-technical climb, basic rope work, metal spikes) and, as a reward, check out Mountain Gorillas in the wild. And straddle Uganda/Congo border🔥 No idea about current border conflict, Ebola situation etc

Fmr Pres MS duly apologises for his officials' errors What of his own errors though? Just as well Sup Crt lists a few, maturely treading where fmr Pres MS fails (extracts below) May 2019 timing of a hurried/unreasoned pardon puzzles SC. Pithiful So, mere technical errors? No

Like anyone else he has a right to protest To be clear, not what he did in Parliament though (pic below) Few fmr SLPP and allied Ministers and MPs (electorally rejected ones) have shown up at protest. Query if this adds to or detracts from any legitimacy the protest may have.
Former SLPP MP Prasanna Ranaweera spotted among protesters outside the Presidential Secretariat, where a protest demanding the release of Ven. Gnanasara Thera continues despite police reopening one lane of Galle Road for traffic.

Galle hospitality keeps reaching for the stars. OTHERLAND, a new hotel, opens shortly. On the ocean, flanked by Galle Fort and Rumassala Rooftop club, pool and sound system are🔥 Winning "Bar-Kery" and coffee too. A hip expression of eudomonia by its Indo-Lankan founders
