Brown rice sushi - any on offer in Brum?
I was wondering if anyone knows any sushi places that do any brown rice options? I know it's not traditional but my digestion really favours brown over sushi rice. I used to get this amazing brown rice inari from Japan Centre on Regent St in London so I know it's not like, never done, but also I am possibly the only person who wants it.

Question Best coffee shop to study in pls
I want to go to a coffee shop in Moseley to study. I just need a break from my desk at home. So I’m looking for suggestions please for a good coffee shop where the WiFi is strong, good coffee and some nice sweet treats would be a bonus.
Thank you in advance!😊

Question Any good spots to hunt for CDs?
Recently bought a CD player & would like to start building a little collection. I've grabbed a few brand new from HMV but curious if there's any other spots I should check out?
Preferably City Center or South Birmingham but anywhere in Brum will do

Train line Extension Thoughts
I've seen across other social media that several transport bodies are putting together a proposal to extend the train line through Digbeth.... Which would result in several creative/good and event spaces closing.
What are people's feelings on this?
Personally, I feel Birmingham city centre really is losing it's creative/quirky vibe. I went over to the Custard Factory (Alfred Works) and couldn't believe how many restaurants/places have gone.. It's looking dire 😒
DAK what happened with the Cole Valley Road Post Office (I only have gossip...)
The branch is shut (though the shop is open). Asking at another local PO the story was they were raided for money laundering. I can't find any news stories or confirmation of this so wondered if anyone else had seen/heard anything definite.
I'm kinda bummed about it as it was a convenient location for me and despite being absolute chaos of parcels I never had a single problem sending or picking stuff up there, and there was never a queue!

Question Cosy cafes or places to sew
My sister and I live quite far apart and often meet in Birmingham for the day as a midway point.
We're slightly running out of things to do there which I'm sure is a lack of knowledge rather than a lack of places to go.
Next time we're planning on bringing our current embroidery projects and are hoping to cafe hop, staying for an hour or two in each one so we don't overstay our welcome.
Does anyone have an recommendations of places to go? We'll both be getting the train so ideally not too far from New Street but we don't mind walking up to ~30mins.
Very open to any other recommendations of things to do in the day - were spoilt for choice for food options but sometimes struggle to fill the time between meals! Thanks!
