Treadmill

I didn't go out on any patrols today. Instead I spent most of my day in front of a computer screen, reading messages and files. The room I was in is air-conditioned, which is very good, since the day temperatures are in the high 30ies, and will continue to be for two weeks to come, if the forecast is to be believed. Before lunch I went for a run on the treadmill, but it didn't feel at all good, so I stopped after a few kilometres. After lunch we had short camp defence exercise. Then I got a terrble headache, which I tried to cure by taking a nap. It didn't help much, so I took a painkiller pill. It must be the temperature. Two men from Khwaja Sang Bur village came to our gate to ask about their project. In the evening I had to write a report. Sometimes you don't have to leave camp to get a reason to write a report - answering the phone can be enough.


The full moon rises from the south-east.
