Good morning Sheffield. I'm on my way to send the afternoon playing fun time jazz at you with the incredible Steamchicken Strollers. See you at the bar....

Stuck a £10 bag on the back of the moped. Big enough for my chain and cover plus a few tools. An improvement on the plastic box I had there before. Doesn't look too bad too.

Great gig tonight at the Grayson Unity. So full I can hardly see the band. Warm Parts are, as always, fantastic.

My daughter left her sandcastle and dashed off to collect shells. I thought it looked quite well composed so took a picture. #holiday #beach #wales

I picked up this lovely lot of #zxspectrum bits at an antiques warehouse this weekend. All seems working except the keyboard membrane, printer belt is disintegrated and the microdrives need new foam. But all in a great set. The computer works, I tested with a known good keyboard. #retrocomputers

I don't suppose anyone out there knows anything about the Microsys SBC1190? It's an ancient #pc104 computer. Specifically I'm trying to find out how the special cable to switch between RUN and LOAD mode works. I'm guessing it just connects 2 pins on the serial header together but which pins?

I picked up this bonkers piece of equipment. As far as I can tell it's the sound module part of an electric accordion from around 1980. There's so much inside it. I hope to be able to use some of it for fun projects. #synth #vintage #oldtech

Good luck and thank you to anyone protesting today. I wish I could be there but a combination of life/work/childcare but also how scary and dangerous it is to protest under this government has kept me away. Stay safe, wear a mask, don't speak to the police. #ukpol #uspol #trump #protest

Sat in the pub feeling even more scared after seeing the government vote to ban a protest group. Mark my words, climate change and trans rights groups will be next. Then a protest comes past, making me remember that Manchester cares & people like @jimmcmahon.co.uk don't. Keep fighting the good fight

Can any #3dprinting experts help me? Every time this happens, then the nozzle hits one of the bits thats 'flicked' up, pulling the model off the plate. I've tried different z offsets but it's the same eveytime.

Interesting placement here. Support for bombing a cafe. Condemnation being against it. #ukpol #gaza
A screenshot from the BBC News. The left story is about Bob Vylan and Kneecap being investigated by the police. The right is about 20 people killed by an Israeli strike on a seaside cafe.

New venue for me, Fuel The Music in Manchester. Good sound, friendly staff and plenty of room on the stage. Can't wait. #livemusic #manchester.

I couldn't resist taking advantage of the weather and going for a ride on my Honda Camino. Ended up in Mossley where I met some friends for a (non alcoholic) beer in the sunshine. Perfect. #moped #biker #80s #retro #Mossley #50cc

All kitted up and on my way. My feet are remembering how clogs feel. It's a sad day but Horwich Prize Medal Morris will say farewell in spectacular fashion with many friends. #morrisdancing #folkmusic #manchester #horwich #bolton

This is what's going to happen everywhere now. Trans people will not be able to go anywhere unless they consent to using facilities for the gender they were assigned at birth. The reality is that many just won't. They'll just not go to the gym, or pubs, or hospitals. Their world is now much smaller.
Duncan Bannatyne, who's well known for starring in the TV show Dragon's Den and owns the gym franchise Bannatyne's, has welcomed the ruling on social media.

He posted on X saying: "I hope all gym owners will join me now in agreeing that single sex spaces for women means biological women."

"No gym should ever allow men into woman’s changing rooms", he added.

Up early and doing DIY. Only a small thing but sorts out a useless dumping ground cupboard and means I can feel like I did something today! #DIY #smallwins

The owners of Almost Famous seem to have called the police on protesters trying to get paid their wages. They heard of it's closure via social media. #acab #manchester #wagetheft
