Devoid of temptation his choices were wise and few were the usual confusing lies. He woke on the first ring of his mobile phone and was not surprised to find himself alone in the double bed in his small but clean home whereupon he stretched out his tendons and bones. His yoga completed he then showered off and watched as the grit and dirt from his skin sloughed and checked on the forces that he had set up and refilled the electric water-boiling cup. Into a glass mug he dumped some coffee grinds – the Balinese loose strong and toe-curling kind – then poured in the water that he had just boiled before making sure his clothes were not too soiled. First one then another he put duly on and praised himself for the battles he'd just won and set off for glory on a sunny day and thanked his dear island for letting him stay.
