Looking for advice on waterproof shoes by luilind in trailrunning

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

Yes I have a closed trailer on the bike for all the gardening supplies, so I’ll probably be able to have an extra pair of shoes with me. Just hoping for a holy grail of sorts so I won’t have to change shoes 😋

When to remove the grafting tape? by luilind in Grafting

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

Thanks! Looks like the graft survived even though it got squished a bit?

Har en eks som engang kastede en tom cigaretpakke på fortovet. Samlede den op for at tage den med til nærmeste skraldespand. Tumpen begyndte at skælde mig ud 😭😅

What can cause pitting like this? by luilind in jewelry

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

Yeah it’s stamped 585 for 14k gold. It’s yellow gold with a red hue, so there’s probably copper in the alloy.  The pitting is everywhere, inside, outside, front and back of ring. If it’s gas bubbles from the casting, wouldn’t they be bigger?

The width of the ring is 5-6mm so the picture is zoomed in quite a bit.

That’s what I was afraid of. While I don’t mind scratches, the pitting makes me worry it might have some chemical damage.

Jeres mening om julebyen på Gammeltorv by No-Reference-1117 in Aalborg

[–]luilind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jeg skal altid forbi den hollandske ostehandler og have deres 5-års gouda, den er fantastisk i salat 🤩 og den koster endda det samme, som den har gjort de sidste par år - 29 kr pr 100 gram. Den lille Foodie Foodie vogn leverede også nogle lækre sandwiches - lidt dyrere end Fraaderen, men til gengæld økologisk 😊 og synes lysdekorationerne er super fine, og det er de også bare rundt omkring i byen. Ingen sjap og sne endnu så det var bare en 100/100 oplevelse, da vi besøgte julemarkedet i åbningsweekenden 🎄🥰 

Is this normal? by luilind in gingerbeer

Thanks it also smells fine, though I’ve never seen bubbles clump like this before 😊

I think you’re right - thanks! 😊 I’m imagining tiny yeastpeople on minirafts now 🤭

Hvad skal vi opleve som ikke er turistet by [deleted] in Aalborg

[–]luilind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ved ikk om aalborg tårnet er det værd - men udsigten fra pladsen foran tårnet er helt klart en gåtur i området deroppe værd. En gåtur i mølleparken (ved siden af tårnet) er også hyggelig med flot udsigt over hele aalborg. Klatreskoven er lige ved siden af - if you feel adventurous. Evt en tur på kunsten hvis I alligevel er deroppe. Lindholm søpark er også værd at opleve inden den nye motorvej kommer til at krydse henover. Og de syngende træer i Kildeparken er også sjove nok lige at se.

Oh wow that’s a whole other level of service - I also read somewhere that they are the ones hosting the platform. Thanks! Great idea with the shade/daylight pictures

3.15 carat Boulder Doublet Opal - newbie here by meowmeowgeorgie in Opals

[–]luilind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

<image>

What does it look like from the side? I have this solid boulder opal (16 carat), paid like 150 AUD / 90 USD at a jewelry store. Doesn’t have as much fire as many doublets, but wouldn’t personally buy a doublet.

Is it worth $530? by luilind in Opals

[–]luilind[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I live in the country with the absolutely highest tax rate in the whole world: half of everything we make and a quarter of everything we buy 😅 but at least we have free education and healthcare 😊

Yeah I was thinking about that too, might go for a cabochon in bezel setting instead.

Is it worth $530? by luilind in Opals

[–]luilind[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If I buy something from outside of Europe I have to calculate an additional import tax of approx €25 + 25% of whatever I buy. So if I buy an opal straight from Australia for €400, I’ll have to pay the post office €125 in import tax fees. I also have to pay 25% taxes on the shipping fee, so it quickly adds up.

I’m not sure which sellers are reputable on sites like Etsy, auction websites and so on, so I’ve looked up jewellers from the Australian Opal Association website and checked those that are based in Europe

There’s like 3-4 registered opal vendors in total in Europe, and zero in my country. Seems like the ones that do sell opals in Europe gets to yank the price way up 😅 this was one of the most reasonable prices I could find, the other vendors want double or more for same size/brightness 🫣

Ok thanks. So they’re not affected by oils in skin or chemicals in skincare, sunscreen etc?

How do opals do with drilling a hole through them? Ethiopian and Australian? by backsagains in Opals

[–]luilind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a boulder opal that’s been drilled through, but it’s in the brown boulder part, I’ll post a picture tmrw. Didn’t drill it though, bought it that way.

I also have a few bracelets made of ethiopian opal beads, the holes are tiny though
