Let soak 24 hours…
The crystals are strong and very pretty!
East Meets West
Bernard and Lakshmi visited! We had fun both here and in NYC, and here’s some of the best photos that resulted.
Bernard hadn’t mowed in aeons and Lakshmi never had!
There’s a brand new Vegas-style casino not far from where we live and we went and had a flutter. Bernard won; I lost 🙂
In Secret Caverns, about 150 feet underground.
In Central Park, NYC. The humidity when this photo was taken was about 1000%!
At Times Square. I’ve rarely been in the middle of summer so had forgotten how busy it is!
Thanks for visiting B & L! I’m already looking forward to the next time we get together 🙂
Henna
Continuing the tattoo theme we went to the local Indian shop when Lakshmi was here and got some henna! Naturally I elected myself as the artist:
It was squeezed out of a narrow cone like decorating a cake and came out as a thick, sticky paste. It wasn’t easy, but I mastered it quickly…
My results were perhaps not traditional henna style, but impressive nonetheless:
Several hours later they had all dried:
I was slightly alarmed when B and L said they would last for a long time! Happily (sadly?) they’re completely gone now less than a week later.
It was fun. Next time you’re in town if you’d like a henna tattoo let me know!
