Hi -

3 friends, women, mid 40s. Travelling primarily by public transport/walking. Wondering what to keep an eye out for while we're out and about (good shopping spots on our itinerary, things to avoid). Also looking for breakfast/coffee recommendations in Spitalfields, supper in Greenwich (near the Cutty Sark or O2), and supper near Tate Britain.

Also trying to decide what to do with our Tuesday - we're interested in mudlarking and have a tour we can join BUT it would require that we bring our wellies, change of clothes, etc and store it at O2 while we're at the concert that night. Wondering whether it is worth the hassle.

Arrive mid-morning by Eurostar, drop bags at hotel in S

Hi - my kiddo has heard about dot cake and is kinda obsessed with the idea. Where can I get it/who has the best one??? Thanks!

Hi - I work with a team of awesome people who do some front-line client service delivery. We've noticed an uptick in unpleasant interactions/boundary crossing from clients. I want the team to be equipped with de-escalation tactics, ways to maintain boundaries, address disrespectful interactions (and we need to look at our approaches and see if there are things we're doing that are unintentionally frustrating clients.) Has anyone done similar training and found it valuable? Who did you do the training with? I'm seeing lots of options in an initial google search. Thanks!

Hi!

My kiddo (grade 4) is testing some fabric flammability for a school science project. We can try to rig something at home but ideally I'm wondering if there's anyone with a connection to a lab with the equipment for a 45 degree flame test out there? Or if you know of a lab that does this testing, maybe you can point me in their direction?

It's 6 pieces of material (we don't need to do 5 samples of each). Ideally she would be involved in conducting the tests.

Thanks so much!

Hi all - I swear I recently (within the past 2 weeks?) read an article about Manon Brossard, head if IRB, being accused of, uh, not great behaviour at work. I cannot find it for the life of me. Did anyone else see this/ can anyone else find this link???

I think??? The boy discovers a computer that controls things in the real world and he has to play a type of game to beat the computer. I would have read it in the 90s, not sure how old it was at the time.

NB: We will go to a bootfitter. I just want to be a bit better equipped for the conversation.

So, this will be season 2 skiing for all of us. My son is 10 turning 11. He's a big kid. He's got WIIIDE feet - wears size 8 extra wide shoes. He's also got thick calves.

Last year we got boots from the boot fitter. They worked well for a while... On our last ski of the year, his feet were bruised from the boots.

He's got some sensory sensitivities, and he finds putting boots on/taking them off really challenging.

I'm wondering if there's a specific brand or feature we should look for to make the process of getting boots on and off easier? Should I look at rear entry?

I know we're going to be

Hi - I've got a couple bundles of Artfil fingering (it's 80 merino/20 nylon.) instructions are to hand wash or machine wash gentle, dry flat. Does anyone have experience with this yarn? I'd like to make some baby things with it, which would need to be machine wash/dry. So I'm wondering if the care instructions have some wiggle room. Any insight? Thanks!
