"T" -- HAF Photo Challenge Poll

5.

I can think of a bunch of T's in Portuguese but not in English for that picture.

We need to know!!!

Ok, here goes:

Tesão = horniness
Transando = having sex
Trepando = having sex (slang)
Taradas = perverts



That's it for now.

That's enough, tiny wasn't, it's got my vote.

Now, I would love to hear about the other photos.

While walking through a park reserve some time ago I came across this odd-looking tree trunk. Looks a little like a toilet tree...

Terrific train Rec but it would have been better with a T Rex tracking it and Twilia Twanton tied to the tracks, triplane to the rescue. Terrible Trawiliker distracted by  tiny winged trollop transandoing on his toes.

You're not going to stop there are you, what happens next?

Tomorrow.

Batik originated in Indonesia, where they traditionally use natural dyes like indigo. I use dyes called vat dyes, which have to be reduced chemically with sodium dithionite to make them soluble in the dye bath. In the reduced form they are water soluble and stick to the fibres of the cloth, but only where there is no wax resist. The nice thing is that the vat dye bath is almost cold water, whereas the dyes you can buy at craft shops have to be used in hot water. In the reduced form the dye is a different colour, for example some reduced blues are yellow. Then, when the cloth is removed from the dye bath, the oxygen in the air oxidizes the dye molecules back to their insoluble form that has the correct colour. One sees the colour developing over a few minutes when the cloth is exposed to the air. My dyes are so stable that the article can be washed in boiling water. Sunlight does not fade them, so one can dye beach towels quite successfully. I used to do a lot of batik projects and feel that perhaps I should start again. If anyone wants to get into it and needs some tips, let me know.

I am aware that I am very lucky that I have had opportunities, in terms of time and resources, not usually available to most people, so I've been able to investigate topics that interest me. The old saying "Jack of all trades, master of none" is very appropriate in this case.
