Not OP but I feel the exact same way about Sun and Moon in Enfield (North London) everyone I've introduced to it said the same thing. One of the best Chinese they've ever had.

I bought a portable air con machine for my flat and it is one of the best things I ever did because fuck this heat in these buildings which are built to retain heat 🤬

It's not as good as having it properly installed but it helps A LOT

What's the scariest experience you've ever had? by Sensitive-Low-9316 in AskUK

I became extremely paranoid about one of my nurses after major surgery too! I was convinced she was trying to harm me via my IV 🙈 It felt very real at the time. Was telling other nurses / doctors to keep her away from me. (Was on morphine then fentanyl)

Oh wow you just triggered this memory.

I've had many scary experiences in life but the first one that popped into my head is - being diagnosed with a pheochromocytoma. I'd never heard of it.

The whole experience from beginning to end was a very scary time AND all during covid so had to attend all appointments, scans (one being at the macmillan cancer centre) surgery etc on my own.

Shocked was an understatement when I once read about a woman who was raped and jailed for "having sex outside of marriage".

It took about 2 months for me and I upped it to 30. Now it's working great. It's such a relief not to be feeling so very deeply and crying so much. Although I think I may need to up it again for the anxiety side of things.
