Sting, Foraging, and a Lone Pink Bunny

Barry dressed appropriately for this:At 71, Sting has managed to meet the unrealistic body image expectations required of young female artists. Clearly the guitar helps his deltoids. I also learnt how much harmonica and Latin influence is in his music, and have entirely changed my mind about retro concerts.
Speaking of muscles, Shoes and Booze had a hot visiting bartender.
As with all trendy bars, Shoes and Booze is pivoting towards local and homegrown ingredients Here are my own makrout lime plant's tinctures, thanks to Caroline!
We use butterfly pea gin made with locally foraged flowers.
But not the pink ones. Wait, maybe I should try the pink ones.
The flowers can be found on the path shortly after the sad pink forest bunny.
I'm sure there are other ingredients I could borrow in the lush forest.
But not this one. It seems to have leaf parasites.
There are lots of things to find if you stray slightly from the path.
For example, a big hole from a former well/pole? Anyway, deep enough to need a sign better than this "Manholp" one.
Also, Indian mangoes are in season. To cocktail them or not? They are simply too tasty on their own.
The Asian Koel agrees. We hear this bird daily, but this was our first sighting, at a Hindu offering including bananas.
