It has been 7 years since the fire at Notre Dame. I had a chance to see it last year and am still amazed by what France has done to rally around saving and restoring it. Save the history, don't destroy it!
My first apartment, where so many hip-hop memories were made in Flatbush Brooklyn
I'm loving my wintery starry night nails design. Thank you to the lovely team at K&T Nails in Leamington Spa
It's been 10 years since I last donated my hair to make wigs for women with cancer. I tried again for the last year and a half since my last haircut to grow it out but sadly aging prevents me from being able to do this anymore
Then you fall right in the middle of our ages and I think she would be impressed by your skills too! She is in NYC so I haven't had her pizza in nearly a year but she visited me in UK last month and premade two pies to bring me to keep in the freezer when I miss her. I'm trying to learn her way
Now I'm going to need to take out the homemade pizzas that my Mom made and brought from NYC for me for dinner tonight! Not the same as her fresh out of the oven pizza but I don't get to eat it very often so it's still a treat!
The toque macaque (Macaca sinica) is a reddish-brown-coloured Old World monkey endemic to Sri Lanka, where it is known as the rilewa or rilawa.
Found a Box Fruit tree on the beach in Sri Lanka. The flower only opens at night and is fragrant but it is very poisonous
When we left Kalutara for a two day trip to Ella & Nuwara Eliya, we were told it was heavy rains so we went ahead in our mission to visit the Sita Amman Temple. We didn't know it would end up being a cyclone until we thankfully made it back by the skin of our teeth. #cycloneditwah
Went to Victor Hasselblad Sea Turtle Research And Conservation Centre today
What most people know as cinnamon is actually Cassia. Sri Lanka is where most real cinnamon originates and this is how it is made. The bark is shaved off. The first layer is the cinnamon, which is peeled and dried for 7 days. The bark is burned (usually burned to distill its leaves into oil)
Watching Baseball United game between Mumbai Cobras and Mid East Falcons to wind down another night in Sri Lanka
I'm still on FB and so many of my Jewish friends who have bought into the anti Mamdani tropes about his supposed antisemitism refer to statements about globalising the Antifada. As someone always etymologically curious, I leave this here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intifada
