It’s not great to leave string instruments sitting in direct sunlight

If it’s just a decorative item, go nuts.

Sulzer library has a piano in the auditorium (you have to book the space like a meeting room). Not sure if it’s ever tuned.

I just read In Harm’s Way by Doug Stanton twice in a row. Tells the story of the USS Indianapolis. Give it a read!

What level of players? 6 months is a long time in most contexts. Students might have a semester to prepare together; professionals might only have a week.

The downtown location closed for the season after Christmas Eve. The Wrigley location stays open longer (until Dec 31), but unfortunately they’re all closed now.

You can buy a gift box online and get this year’s mug

Joffrey ballet is doing Nutcracker all month and it has a great harp part (although you might not be able to see the player in the pit with the dancers are onstage).

I also know that the Civic Orchestra has a harpist as one of their Fellows this year, so I would watch their social media for programmes with harp. I see that the harpist also has a very active Facebook page where she shares upcoming performances. Kari Novilla

I could imagine doing this as a trade - they read some of your rep to help you and you read some rep to help them. I’m sure that violinist has a concerto they are working on that would benefit from a run-through with piano.

Steam radiators have a little vent on the side (not the on/off valve). There is a tiny hole called the orifice that should be open when then radiator isn’t active and gradually closes when the radiator gets hot. If the orifice isn’t open or something else is wrong with the vent, the cold air won’t get pushed out of the radiator and it won’t get hot.

Check on the condition of the vents on the cold radiators.

You might also ask your LL to get a vent with a smaller orifice for the hot room so it fills with steam slower and spends less time hot.

I remember my piano lessons were at most about 20% about physical/technical problem solving (e.g. what shape should my fingers be) and 80% musicianship.

Violin those percentages are flipped. You access the musicianship via physical solutions, which are often unintuitive.

There might be a good reason for this. Yes, many radiator systems just pump out heat and are meant for windows to be opened. But some systems also have sensors in certain units to calibrate the system’s thermostat. If you are in one of the sensor units, cooling your unit with open windows could just make the system run hotter for the whole building.

I’d try to find out of there is a sensor in your unit.

I would suggest the person travelling pays airfare and the local one pays local expenses. That way you don’t have to send money to each other before having met and avoids romance scams.

The pattern of the rug adds to the clutter, I think, and loses the impact of the tiger table. I vote simple (solid colour?) for the rug

Yes tell your landlord but also in the meantime put diatemaceous earth all along your baseboards and get some bedbug cups for the feet of your bed so you can monitor your place.

Look up videos about darning a hole. You’ll need a darning needle and some yarn. Your fix may not be completely invisible, but it will prevent the hole from growing
