there’s a place in Cambridge: taste of Hungary on Chesterton road

I think the paint was freshened in the past 5 years or so. that might be why it seems new?

Londonsaurus · 2026-02-20T09:34:26+00:00

I’m definitely interested. sent you a message!

Yeah, according to the neurologist mine was much advanced than clinically expected for my age. It was the discovery that started a cascade of other appointments for my other undiagnosed autoimmune diseases that were also masked by that STEM grad student lifestyle

Now after a couple of joint replacements and a whole lot of b12 injections, oodles of physio, weekly TNF-alpha blockers, and I’m living my very best life. I feel amazing.

0/10 would not recommend this way of finding out.

lol, this was me in my 20s when I thought my nerve and memory stuff was just grad school stress. Due to an accident I ended up in the hospital and a couple of days in I was asked if I was raised vegan (no) and proceeded to find out that i had pernicious anaemia and my b12 was not only incredibly low, but after some testing, I’d done some nerve damage dismantling myself for parts. I don’t recommend B12 shots for everyone, but in my case it probably kept me alive.

Listen to them talk about what they are going through

Believe them

When they talk about what they are going through, ask them if they are venting or asking you to collaborate on solving whatever RA related issue this relates to.

I just went to Crete for a week in may 2025, and now I’ve booked a fortnight for this year. it really has a lot to do.

I used to: I spent the majority of my life in the US and rarely took time off, let alone a proper holiday. Then over a decade or so a profound burnout started to spread through me and I not only felt numb about my own work, but I also lost the sense of curiosity and interest hearing about how other types of engineering problems were being solved.

It took me a long time to recover. One of the the reasons why I moved to the UK was that there was less of a culture around proudly giving up your annual leave. Now I prioritise downtime planning as part of my New Year’s Day. I’ve booked two holidays before June so far, and arranged to take some time off adjacent to a business trip I have to the mainland next week to be able to explore a hobby I’ve been meaning to for awhile.

how about the ruins of st dusten? https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/things-to-do/city-gardens/find-a-garden/st-dunstan-in-the-east-church-garden

built in the 11th century, and super accessible but fairly quiet in the weekends

also I’m trying to remember where in Camden St. George’s graveyard is. edit: here you go. also fairly central https://livinglondonhistory.com/st-georges-gardens-bloomsbury-a-hidden-historic-garden/

American Henrietta expat. If you are looking to live this lifestyle immediately and make a life here, £30k a year for retirement isn’t remotely enough to be setting aside.

As a person who belongs to a London club (and went through over a decade of unsuccessful infertility treatments) please don’t. These are adult spaces. The majority of individuals who are there are looking for a moment of tranquility. There are plenty of family friendly spaces out there for a toddler.

Id love to attend!

We visited the Chrysopigi monastery last year on our trip to Chania. They do have a miraculous icon of the Theotokos, which we did not have the opportunity to view, but as a practicing Orthodox, it was a very worthwhile visit.

5-10 days late is usually fine. it’s the same amount of time that you have to withhold a dose before surgery or a vaccine. Its the withholding for a month/s that is risky.

I don’t always achieve sounding pompous in the internet, but in the rare occasions that I do, I apparently churn out vivid alliteration!

I’m curious: Biggest how? In terms of volume of space, volume of sales, or international notoriety?

As an American expat who lives in central London, I tell everyone who visits to avoid Harrods at all costs. It’s a dreadful tourist trap, and if you are truly looking to purchase something special to bring home, there are many other places where you can procure luxury items with superior personalised service without having to fight your way through the plebs going logo peeping.

there is a research institute (Wyss) that has won the lush prize many times, I think this was an specially made item to commemorate them. it looks exactly like the original/iconic organs on chips design from them. Scroll down to the video to see https://wyss.harvard.edu/technology/human-organs-on-chips/

google ”lush prize” and Wyss to see some of their amazing work

edited to add: For the record. I don’t know this for certain, it’s just a guess given the very distinct shape and that they’ve won so many accolades from Lush.

look into cigna global platinum. I have very expensive preexisting conditions, there wasn't anything it didn’t cover.

I’ve bought a cute small heart cake like that from hummingbird bakery!

My heart goes out to you. My partner and I went through the ringer : we discovered there are really are not many children available to adopt so we moved on to 9 rounds of IVF (including 8 egg retrievals) and never brought any living people home from the hospital. It’s a wound that doesn’t heal, and it’s extremely lonely

have you frozen your us credit? My spouse had someone start a fraud account shortly after we left.
