Our wettest two months are normally September and October. Last year there was hardly any rain of note and we suffered major water shortages. August has lived up to it's reputation this year so will the next two months hopefully before the dry season hits us.

TastyReuben ah you have a stylist! I just go to the cheapest place I can find. I hate going to the hair saloon.

Well, "stylist" sounds better than "haircut woman!"

The place I go to is marketed as men only (how they get away with that nowadays is beyond me), and for $50US, I get a cut, wash-shampoo-dry, scalp massage, face massage, eyebrow trim, hot towel on the face, hot stone massage on the neck and shoulders, and a hand massage on the neck and shoulders. It takes an hour.

But what I really miss is chatting with her. She's a trained chef and baker, so there's a lot of food talk going on, but she just has a real carefree philosophy that's really fun, and she's very unconventional, which I love.

We occasionally still text, when we're eating or drinking something we want to show one another, but I'll be thrilled when I feel safe enough to go back in. I can't wait for her to see my hair, which will probably be past my shoulders by that time. :laugh:
 
TastyReuben Lisbon is full of man-only hair saloons, we call them barbershops. They are fully staffed by men and have only men as customers, I have no idea if a woman has ever tried to get a haircut in those places, I don't think any has ever tried. Anyway no one bats an eye. They all look this (image from Google)

There are "hairdressers" here where US$50.00 would get you two hours......

However, have you ever come across these?

They are called ลูกประคบ s (herbholic, I think). They are packed with a variety of herbs and spices and steamed prior to being applied to your skin when they are still hot.
