Beauty in small things - Hindu offering on Seminyak Beach

Shirl, pre and post

For those of you who *know,* hair and beauty interventions can be an anxious thing.  It had been six weeks since the last visit, most of that time spent in camp grounds.  Well, add to that, scheduling it on the internet after a search and hoping (1) they exist, (2) they are any good, and (3) trusting that your instructions can translate in a foreign country.  Here it is, the before, tired ...

and the after Lisa did her great job on my hair, and Mandy, the pedicurist who loves her work, painted in purple, which you can see on my toes.  The name of the purple tone is "Hold the Phone."  Haha.

Do you think anything that can go wrong will go wrong there?

I am getting  my hair done tomorrow in Darwin.  But love this name! 

Sunset at Tumbling Waters, Berrys Springs

before the DeckChair Cinema, where we saw "Kenny," a very sweet Australian mockumentarty about a manager in a port-a-john/port-a-loo maintenance company.  We recommend the film, which is both funny at turns and then poignant too.
