Lick them. Seriously, you needed to ask?
PAS: where I learn everything I need to know. ;-)

How else do you get melted ice-cream off your hands?
The dog.

See, simple make-do. Can double-brown beer cans be used to increase internet speed?
Those big dogfood cans, 100mm dia, are perfect for making a Cantena to improve wifi gain.
(there is no such thing as a silly question on PAS) -

I’ll never forget the time I was.....
Should read
"I'll never remember the time I was..."
Or your not really an old hippie.
;-)
And as to where all the old hippies went the answer is Northland where something happened once, or not. -
Pictures from the Ngaruawahia festival (Badly stored negatives, which I didn't leave long enough in the developer).

Oh cool. We did wok-fi -- worked absolutely brilliantly.

Wet Ones were perfect for cleaning up when changing nappies. Were in widespread use in the early 1980s. (#trivia)

Found it. I knew I had a bag somewhere….
To match the velvet bag - I spied these in an antique shop window this evening...

Hebe,
Time for another rainbow. (Colours unfiddled -- this dawn was just like the picture)

Nora Leggs, in reply to
Another beaut bow Hebe : )
Rather than another bow in reply - here's a tenty thing from Nambassa.
Would this be the sunblock substitute?

Or a recycled flouncy skirt?

That was the one where the One Hundred Years of Solitude girl floated up, up, into the sky, right?

Well spotted!
where the One Hundred Years of Solitude girl floated up, up, into the sky, right?
Maybe that's why it's tethered?

Remedios the beauty, and if I recall right the bedsheets went with her.
My recollection also is that the tenty thing is definitely a parachute, of the style that was once commonly available in Australian disposal stores. A natural choice for hippie ingenuity, they were often tie-dyed to serve as faux ceilings in venues like old warehouses.
The fun ended when the real silk ones suddenly got bought up en masse for recycling into boutique clothing, leaving only the synthetic jobs that didn't dye nicely.

I think you're right - funny how that knowledge reinforces my mental image of that tenty thing. A few years later I made a jacket for a friend from silk parachute fabric - no tie dying tho. Simple, off white with the parachute seams as features.

I remembered I had some colour negatives from Nambassa too. An earlier year. Very spotty.
However this one will do - must be where the Double Brown comes from.The picture of the enormous pile of sweetcorn, not too far from a big pile of rubbish is sadly too spotty to post.
-
A sign of the (earlier) times....
-
Last one, promise.
Another sunblock substitute.
Parasol.
