The Coffee Shop Opens at Six
Dry light, steam clock, receipt draft at six-fifteen.
Margins
Margins is the full shelf sorted by sky mood — Before the rain, During the rain, After the rain — not by month names or numbered chapters.
Dry-light notes sit Before: kopi at six, Tuesday market runs, buses that beat the clock.
During collects walks interrupted by weather — stairs that stay damp, platforms under glass.
After holds evenings and one heavier memory at "/" — window ledges, distant lights, Kampong Bahru without tidy closure.
Each line shows mono date, title, and a single weather reason. The aside is as much for me as for you.
Newest dates float to the top inside each band. Chin Swee stays under After because the air was still damp when I reached Dawson.
Broken links should land on the 404 — plain language, no jokes. Come back here and pick another row.
Thumbnails fail only if filenames drift from disk spelling. Case matters on Linux hosts.
Read in any order. Weather headings are not rankings — only answers to what the sky was doing.
Before the rain
Laundry Poles, Tuesday
Market floor still damp from hosing — squeak and chilli.
The Bus That Arrives Early
Schedule disagreement on Dawson Road — warm seat inherited.
During the rain
The Stair That Stays Wet
One edge stays damp — moss, cold rail, counted landings.
Seven Minutes Before the Lift
Platform glass, yellow line, wait as its own paragraph.
After the rain
A Margin Wide Enough
Ledge wide enough for mug and notebook — block lights in sequence.
From This Side of Kampong Bahru
Distant lights on damp road — honest limit of sight.
