Happy New Year from the RSGB!

A Happy New year to all our Members and followers. Here's hoping that this year is a good one for all Makers

2/2 It started erroring the day after we had a mains water supply loss. Don’t know the failure mechanism yet but will have a proper look once the new part arrives. I can keep using it for now by emptying the tray after each cycle. Leak is timed and minor.

1/2 My 10yo @BoschGlobal dishwasher is like Trigger’s well-maintained broom: Something wears out, I replace it This time it seems to be the water softener - E:15 (water tray full) before rinse cycle. Water in the tray is cold and clean. £43 for the spare #righttorepair #Engineer

I no longer have #teenage children! Happy Birthday @Alexwiltshire17

What a fabulous episode tonight. We need more #apprenticeships

We have a v.clean road. Swept 2x today, 3x Mon, 2x Sat. Yet to see the “Micro Asphalt Surface Treatment”, but as it’s raining I’m guessing that, like papering over cracks, there might be bubbles? How about fixing #pavements for #elderly #pedestrians? @KielyBros @wiltscouncil

HAY YOUSE GUYS LOOK AT THIS 😍 It's just yours truly on the cover of @reinventedmag. 🤩 I'm so incredibly honoured and thrilled to get to be the feature for this issue, especially knowing how this will go on to be seen by thousands of young people.

Fact of the Day: The B17 Flying Fortress carried the first space shuttle test mule from the Broom Lake test facility to Cape Carmarthen space port in 1921. The Boffins at LARPA built the test mule from a modified Spitfire Limousine. Photographed from a Canberra #SpaceX #AvGeek

I think having an animal in our life makes us better humans

Today, we celebrate Ukraine’s Independence Day together with the entire world. The Ukrainian flag flies proudly across the globe — not because we conquer the world, but because we have inspired it with our highest value: freedom. #StandForFreedom #StandWithUkraine

What3Words used to push the idea that making a mistake in the words would place you so far away that it was obvious. This turned out to not be the case. Far from it. How hard did they push it? Let's look at how many places repeat the myth. https://t.co/HfpyW83i7N

Could this be any more stage-managed? I wonder who is next?

BREAKING: To celebrate the last flight of the 747 (and to show @Qantas how it should be done) (and to show @British_Airways what they should have done) we sent up a Eurovision Typhoon to draw a giant Jumbo Jet over the UK #747farewell #RAFLuton #AvGeek
