As a knitter. This is the recommended way of drying wool garments. Water pressed out in a clean towel and then lain flat to dry.
It is generally a no-go. But if your instructions say it's ok, it's ok. It's possible the wool used in your sweater is "super wash" wool in which the wool/yarn fibers...
And stemless are not ideal for white wines. Hand heat, bad for the white wines. :D I am fine with them for reds. It's only 13:00 here right now and I am craving a wine.
Oh! I did not know this was ok! https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/corkscrews-no-blade
Could I assume other security agencies would allow? I am flying a small Dutch airline from Paris to Biarritz/Bayonne. I suppose I wouldn't cry if it were confiscated. But it's...
I can relate. I have a problematic digestive system as well. Different problems. But for instance the only way my acid reflux can stay in check is to have some vinegar in water every evening. So I'll be toting a bottle of that everywhere. Yay me. I guess the good news is vinegar is widely...

Assuming PJ bottoms?
I leave right after you on the 11th, but we will likely not meet. I think though you were the Scot on Reddit I have to thank for reminding me of San Fermin. As a result I have made plans appropriately and booked a hotel weeks ago for when I get to Pamplona on the 14th...
One more thing. (And I am not good about this, but repeat to myself constantly) Glasses: "On your face, or in the case!" (credit to my friend's optometrist for coining that one.)
Well the lucky thing about us who are far sighted is reading glasses are easy to come by at stores, unlike the near sighted folks prescription glasses. Although I have lost 2 very expensive prescription progressive glasses. *cry* But at least I can get by with drugstore reading glasses. Good luck!
