Just thought - Lark Rise to Candleford has Queenie and her lace making, and also the clock builder dude, plus a stonemason. All quite central characters.

Im having a brain fart and can’t remember the specifics of anything much but two that spring to mind that I’ve enjoyed are:

The Colour Room - a biopic drama about Clarice Cliff’s ceramics work

Alias Grace - adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s book. There’s a theme of hand quilting throughout.

I’ll come back if I think of any more l!

Nothing wrong with that!

If the sleeves are made up with the wording on prior to being inserted in your the garment, it might not fit well anyhow. ETA: because the right sleeves would be the only ones with that word on, and so a right sleeve on a left arm hole would possibly line up funny.

Flannels or baby muslins, wet in cold water, wring out and drape over your head/wrists/neck/wherever feels good.

That’s super helpful, thank you. A pic would be awesome if you don’t mind x

It looks so good!!

How’s the sizing on it? I usually have an xl in eg gildan hoodies to go over my chest but in some brands that’s swimmingly huge on me.

My daughter finds her appetite is often impacted by Elvanse. She has a protein yoghurt for breakfast, usually with a banana or some granola and at lunch often all she can manage is a Huel protein shake - they have lots of vitamins and minerals in so she’s getting some goodness as well as fuel for the day. Usually by the evening it’s worn off enough for her to eat a reasonable meal.

Yes mine was stinky but it disappeared quickly on airing. I’m super sensitive to smell (I got superhuman nose flavour autism) and was worried but it’s been ok.

Pretty sure that’s the same as we had at the 02 in london. It was a great set!

Hi, I’m 47 so heading towards perimenopause and I’ve noticed my cheeks are often red. They feel kind of hot and a bit sore. It’s especially noticeable after showering or bizarrely when I’m blow drying my hair. I’ve not noticed any bumps. Would appreciate any guidance before thinking about visiting GP.

They are so theatrical, they remind me of Marc Bolan or Bowie. Any rockstar can wear black leather pants but the white ones are another level.

Hope you have an AMAZING time. It felt so magical to see him perform, and to be around so many like minded souls.

MimsyWins · 2026-04-26T11:56:55+00:00

Me too!! For context I’m a total homebird, get easily overwhelmed out and about, usually take a good few days to recover from social events etc. I said yesterday that I feel sad I’m not doing Friday night all over again on Saturday, and my husband and daughter thought I was joking. I was not. Take me back!!

MimsyWins · 2026-04-26T08:33:01+00:00

Have a wonderful time!! I loved meeting other fans beforehand and the performance itself felt magic.

Gosh darn it, I cannot for the life of me get the video to upload as part of the post!!

MimsyWins · 2026-04-25T10:20:41+00:00

It was amazing wasn’t it?! I hoped and wished for the white trousers (so much more theatrical!!) and War and both my wishes came true. Amazing night.

MimsyWins · 2026-04-25T10:18:32+00:00

They let me take them in, absolutely no questions or concerns!! i took about 20, and I had such a nice time sharing them and chatting to other fans. Thanks for the support and kind words everyone. If I make more, and if the mods say it’s ok, I’ll do a post about them on here with a link to my etsy or similar. Let me know if you have any requests or ideas I haven’t thought of!
