After months of sorting more than 50k bricks & numerous weekends of building, my son & I finished the #Lego Millennium Falconβ„’ (75192) last weekend.
Made of around 7.5k colorful bricks & weighing around 13kg in total. Our greatest Lego project ever.
Out of the 7.5k bricks we had 6.5k in our stocks & ordered the rest. Believing in #sustainability we reused most of the bricks we already had.

Please boost, if want to color up someone else's day! πŸš€πŸŒˆ

@Adventurer @zutalorz During lockdown, I started cutting my hair in the garden, and the jackdaws began collecting it. I was expecting one to land on my head thinking it seemed like their nest! 😁
@mariusor The drone isn't rated for those speeds - it just couldn't escape the slipstream! 😁
@hbuchel There is a parallel problem of thinking new ideas can come largely from acquiring start ups, rather than investing in internal R&D; not recognising that the people who can likely make and integrate some of the best products are not necessarily (or even likely) to be those with the ability or desire to create a stand alone business for it.

@cyclingeu I don't know about switching modes, but the mechanical front mech changer from Shimano isn't indexed. Though I'm not sure if it's got sufficient range of pull.

I've probably just confused things here!

Today I finally installed a private commission & tribute to the #cycling legend Reg Harris OBE. Took me a while to weld this all up but pleased the #birds seem as happy with it as I am! Reg won 2 Olympic silver medals in 1948, followed by 4 World Championships in 49,50,51 & 54 then in 1974 came out of retirement to win the British National Sprint Championship aged 54! as I said absolute #LEGEND ! #Fabrication #Sculpture #Portrait #Recycling #Upcycling #ILoveBicycles #Cycles #Muscles
@wlukewindsor I'm hoping you were heading east as it was really quite the strong southwesterly today

@bikejourno Is that the longest continuous streak of national championships in CX? I'm trying to recall how many Majerus or Compton got. #cyclocross
Sanne Cant may be no match for the fastest women in international competitions anymore, but within Belgium she still reigns women's #cyclocross: She wins her 14th (!) consecutive national title after a long and demanding race in the mud.
Marion Norbert Riberolle rebounded after a number of mechanical issues early on in the race to take the Silver medal with Alicia Franck in 3rd.
More racing tomorrow!
