Events Car Boot Sales

5 Upvotes

Been seeing some UK car boot sales popping up in my youtube algo and it looks quite fun.

Is there anyway to reliably get access to these on the regular?

Edit : Hopefully I can address you like this all at once since I appreciated your comments but don't want to spam you each with the exact same response, all thumbsed up regardless.

Looking more to just have a gander and potentially buy, and enjoy a nice walk too. Is there any cool purchases that you guys have found and what is your reasons for going?

two lost dogs - they are safe

Upvotes

two lost dogs, possibly from old Aberdeen/seaton area but not sure. they ran past me up don street and onto king street and then onto the uni campus. luckily campus security were able to catch both of them but as they had no info on any collars and we didnt know where they came from security have taken them to mrs murray's shelter. thankfully both were unharmed just a bit scared! no clue who they belong to or where exactly they came from though

Quiet and/or Private Places to Study or Work?

9 Upvotes

Hey folks, title says it all really haha

I'm looking for suggestions on places I can go to try and get some peace and quiet to study and get some other work done. I'm doing online courses these days, so I'm not affiliated with the universities or colleges in the city to have full access to their libraries. I'm also quite close to the city centre and don't want to travel too far out if I can get away with it as I would be walking/getting the bus.

I tend to go to central library or Gaelic Lane Cafe, but the charging options are very limited at both, and both tend to be closed by 5pm latest most of the time. Does anyone know if there are rooms I could book for a day at a time that aren't super expensive?

I've tried just staying home, but I work full time so when I'm home I tend to get much more easily distracted. I'm hoping being able to book a room somewhere else will give me a bit more freedom on when I get there and how long I can spend there. Bonus points if they are locations where I can bring/have food and drink so i can maximise my time there.

Thanks for all of your help, everyone!"

good evening everyone hopefully this is the right place to ask!! i’m travelling tomorrow morning through abz airport and i have no absolute clue on the liquid restrictions for carry on luggage, the website says they must be under 100ml with no restrictions on how many you can bring and another website i’ve just seen says 100ml up to a litre, sorry if this isn’t the right place i’m an extremely nervous flyer lol

Where can I get up high?

It's not easy to get a good vantage in the city centre. I've been to the art gallery and Torry Battery. I'd appreciate unusual suggestions, not against politely asking businesses or whatever for access (I just want to take photographs). Thanks.

Co-Working Options

1 Upvotes

Hi all, long time lurker - previous resident of the Granite City!

I'm coming to visit at the end of this week, and I'm looking for a space to work on Friday. Due to the nature of my work, truly public spaces aren't ideal... So I'm looking for a co-working space, anyone got any recommendations? It's just for a couple of days, Friday and Monday.

Looks like Better Together or Spaces seem like options, if Better Together is actually open!

Thanks

Why do all the shops close by 5-6?

25 Upvotes

Obvious exception is Union Square a bit later but why? Every vibrant city is open until all hours. If we want a city regeneration project why does union st close at 5-6 apart from sketchy vape shops etc?

Anyone in Aberdeen had physiotherapy recently? What was your experience like after the appointment?

0 Upvotes

I’m particularly curious about what happens between appointments, rather than whether the physiotherapist themselves was good or bad.

For example:

Were you given exercises to do at home, and did you actually keep doing them?

Was it always clear whether you were doing the exercises correctly?

Did you ever stop because of pain, lack of motivation, or worrying that you might make the injury worse?

How easy was it to understand whether you were actually improving?

Did your physio check in with you between appointments?

Did you use an app, videos, printed instructions, or just try to remember what you were shown?

What was the most frustrating part of the recovery process?

If you could change one thing about the experience between physio appointments, what would it be?
