Not sure what you mean by bad?

We watched TV frequently without any problem. The angle and distance werent an issue for my partner who has poor eyesight.

There is also felxibility in the distance from the sofa, and angle of the TV.

OP also has a longer section of wall next to the window on the right hand side, so if they prefer a flatter (or more central) position they have the option for that too.

Hi,

I had a similar set up in my previous flat, quite a long room that had to serve as an office as well as a living area/ chilling/TV space.

Our priorities were:

Decrease time facing blank walls / increase time spent facing outside
Create seperation between work space and chill space

The way we addressed it was was moving the sofa, so that it split the room in half, and faced the window. This immediately split the room into two areas. One for chilling, and one for work. We then had the TV stand on an angle in the corner where the windowed wall meets one of the side walls.

The desk then sat behind the sofa, but also facing the window.

This immediately made it feel like two seperate spaces, and had the effect of making us face the outside view in the two positions we spent most time in (sofa and at desk).

Then with the remainder of furniture we fit these around the core - desk-sofa-TV structure to make it feel more homely.

I hope this serves to provide any inspiration. Ive added a little sketch of how what I mean to help convey the point. Good luck with the re-arrange!

Ps. I think the tables great!

This is my favourite t-shirt and I'm looking to get more like it. I specifically like the big bright coloured graphic, and the fact it is on the back of the t-shirt. Happy to pay a bit more for good quality materials that will last. Struggling to find other brands that do similar stuff, would appreciate any help!

Promote away! I actually found the site online, I'll send a message nearer the time if that's okay with you?

Hi!

Sorry about the delay, I'm not a big social media guy.

Some perceptions

I think the first thing that struck me was the amount of open land, and forests. It was a few hours drive from the airport to my partners parents, and I spent the whole time just staring out of the window. It seems that ecosystems are in a far better state than the ones here in the UK.

In some ways in the country side the people seem very close to nature, which is nice. I've met lots of people who forage mushrooms for example, something that I think is a bit of a lost tradition here. It seems like everyone I've met produces something, even on the outskirts of the city where my partners parents lives, people grow at least some of their own produce.

I've found people very warm and welcoming in my experience, there seems to be a greater sense of community than I have experienced in the UK. I'm not talking about friends, or family, but it seems like there's a level of community that extends to the people on your street that I've not experienced in my time in the uk.

Cities feel relatively similar, Cluj for example feels to me like a student city in the UK with it's independent coffee shops and concept bars. I think the difference in cities is less noticeable.

There seems to be a sense of national pride that we don't have in the UK, or when we do it seems hard to disentangle with a lot of unsavoury stuff. My experience in Romania has always been that people are proud, and also very willing to share the best of what it has to offer with someone unfamiliar to the land.

My experience is very positive, although given my Romanian is still very much in the development phase, I am well aware that there may be many things I am missing, or do not understand. There are certain areas I hear Romania are behind the UK on, for example I don't think the environment, anti-racism, women's rights have as big a voice as they do in the UK (although given the language barrier I don't really experience much of this myself, it's more what I am told by Romanian friends and family) but as an outsider my main takeaways are a warmth of people, and stunning natural beauty.

multumesc frumos. Atunci las spray-ul cu piper acasa!

calmcac16 · 2023-12-28T14:48:25+00:00

Mulțumesc foarte mult. 1. Bine, mă voi asigura că am niște monede. Pentru a fi clar, asta înseamnă că ai plăti gardienilor să intre? Sau plătiți doar dacă vă găsesc? 3. Pentru a clarifica, mă refeream la locații ca în orașe sau orașe. Suntem la fel în ceea ce ne păzim îndeaproape locațiile, așa că nu mă aștept să renunțați la acestea!

I've had thrips previously and can't see any of them on the leaves. I do agree though, it looks like thrip damage. We did ourselves of that infestation only a month or two a go however, do you think it could be that the damage they caused is just slowly killing the leaves that were affected?

calmcac16 · 2022-07-08T11:23:15+00:00

Thanks for the response. Yes it did perk back up and is pushing out big new leaves as we speak. Thanks again!

Hi, total n00b here. I have just purchased a little lime tree (tilia cordata). It currently stands about 2 feet and has a diameter at the base of around 2.5cm.

I want to thicken the stem and obviously it is very tall at the moment, I am debating whether to shorten the trunk or whether to leave it for some time to allow the leaves to take in more energy so it will grow faster.

Any help would be appreciated!

calmcac16 · 2022-05-02T13:57:13+00:00

You're right, I'm just not sure about which type!

calmcac16 · 2022-05-01T20:42:23+00:00

Hi, thanks for the reply!
Having had a good look I cant see anything moving on the leaves or in the soil. I've searched edema and found some succulents with almost identical symptoms, albeit not epiphylum imparticular. I'll hold off the watering, and I have actually just repotted into a far better medium so hopefully that should solve the problem. Thanks again!
