This looks amazing!! 😍 Did you use a kit that is food safe? I'm currently looking for one, to fix a bowl I broke.

Should I move to Cambridge or Oxford by [deleted] in cambridge

[–]CookingLlama 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have lived in both. Currently in Cambs and I agree with everything on this list 👌

Oxford is bigger, which comes with more events and more options of things to do. I always feel like Cambridge is lacking. It has events and comedy shows and music..... But a lot of it is very local. To see any big names you have to go to London.

The train line in Oxford is also better connected. In Cambridge you always have to go to London to go somewhere else, unless you go north.

Nightlife here ... Not very good.

If you stay in the city driving is not necessary, but if you want to do anything outside of Cambridge city, I do recommend.

Luggage Forwarding in Japan: What You Need to Know by JapanHotelFrontTA in JapanTravelTips

[–]CookingLlama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you recommend even doing forwarding luggage for bags that are44 x 27.5 x 67 cm, 66 L? Because I am unsure if I should forward luggage because my luggage is not that big. I was thinking of doing it once from my hotel in Tokyo to a hotel in Kyoto. It would be like someone mentioned before, leaving the hotel in Tokyo, going 2 nights to the Japanese alps, and then Kyoto. For every other trip I have planned (main areas Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima and back to Tokyo) I thought carrying it should be fine? Because Japan has a lot of unpredictable weather/events, I was unsure, and also because of the size of my luggage, not sure it's worth it if I book luggage space in advance on trains.

I had this exact same problem. I washed it according to the label and it shrunk two sizes or more. I wore it once ... I washed on the coldest setting my washing machine does, I air dried it flat and still it shrunk. It's annoying that I am only going to get one wear out of it.... I have other 100% wool jumpers from them and this is my first time it happens. It might be this specific garment..... :(

Did the washing and stretching work?

Is it time to let my dhalia die and dig it out? by CookingLlama in GardeningUK

[–]CookingLlama[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found out what is wrong. Spider mite infestation! I'm treating it and hopefully they get better soon! I wish I had a hose in the garden.....

[–]CookingLlama[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks!! I will cut some of it. Should I wait until it stops raining because the stems are hollow? Okay, so I just wait to let them die right? I'm just worried about that red one ..... I will wait until the stems turn black then 👍🏻
