just winding back a bit, I haven’t been in London since March, but am unaware of these. Please elaborateAlso so excited the American candy shops are getting busted
Loads of American candy shops opened in a short space of time, really inexplicably (there are 2 in the small area where I live, practically opposite each other) and it turns out they haven't been paying taxes and it is part of some big scam https://www.timeout.com/london/shopping/why-is-central-london-suddenly-full-of-american-sweetshopsjust winding back a bit, I haven’t been in London since March, but am unaware of these.

I started knitting when I was at university, precisely to help me concentrate in lectures - if I didn't have something to do with my hands I'd stop being attention and start making to-do lists or something. I get some stares (and a lot of "oh will you make me a jumper?" lol no), but I love it.I love to sew and make clothes for myself and my SG. It's just glorified cutting and sticking. It is pretty expensive, especially if you get into the sewing adjacent hobbies of buying fabric, tools and accessories, going to classes etc. I've knitted since I was 5 and was routinely mocked for it growing up (Gen Xer), but I love it, it's as natural as breathing to me.
Not sure I can show you anything I've made withoutmyself because I do that other adjacent hobby of being a showoff on social media about it.
Knitting is excellent for MH and can be quite cheap if you confine yourself to shopping from sales, eBay etc. Knitting during zoom meetings, films, conversations helps me concentrate more, which I'm guessing is an ADHD thing as well. Plus it's an excellent zombie apocalypse skill to have.
You have way more self discipline than me!I have a packet of BBQ Shapes sitting on my table right now. I won't eat them as they're my husband's and one thing you don't do is take food from him, he gets rather upset.
Woohby, I don't mind chicken Twisties but I'm obsessed with Cornados atm. They're expensive but when they go on special I make sure to grab a few packs, the plain is my favourite. They're really crunchy and tasty, I love them.View attachment 1404254
It's funny what you miss! I spent three months in Canada when I was a teen and I just wanted Vegemite and Tim-Tams when I was there. When I got back to Oz I just wanted poutine and Red Rose tea.You have way more self discipline than me!
my favourites are the chicken ones and the FANCY balsamic ones, so venegary! It is annoying as there used to be quite a couple of shops selling Aussie sweets and stuff in central London, I would also love some minties!

PS my husband has that Nordic Viking attitude and temper, it's easier to just not eat the man's food.
I have no apitude for sewing, not do I really like it, but I once lived with someone who always knitted when we watched TV, I always wanted her to teach me as it looked so relaxing. I think now having 2 very active cats any kind of activity like that involving me moving the needles and thread is probably impossibleSo lovely to find out other sewist fraus are about! I've done it most of my life; my mother taught me. It's a great stress reliever.
Genuinely one of the (many) things that has put me off getting another cat at the moment is the high likelihood of knitting destruction when I inevitably leave a piece lying around without thinkingI have no apitude for sewing, not do I really like it, but I once lived with someone who always knitted when we watched TV, I always wanted her to teach me as it looked so relaxing.
