I was really grumpy today but then a bus driver was nice to me and I was in a much better mood for the rest of the day and also nice to other people.

Niceness matters, folks. You never know how much a small word or gesture may change the trajectory of someone's day.

Second sculpture, a metal arm with some light. Lot of selfmade metal parts, plus a few spare parts and some salavaged parts.
550 hours, no idea how many parts, almost 3ft tall.

As a hobby, my kids have been buying old dolls at thrift stores and glowing them up (hair, makeup, clothes, and so on).

But some are missing feet or hands. So for this Bratz doll, they found a 3D model of Versace footwear (and foot), and I 3D printed it.

It required a slight widening of the hole to snap fit on the leg, easily accomplished with a Dremel.

Now they can paint it, while I print some arms and hands for other dolls.

Little moment of pride having fix the oscillating mechanism on our standing fan. Had to take it completely apart, bit of superglue and replacement bolts, and sorted!
Glad to avoid necessary cost and waste in getting a replacement.

Fruchtleder mit #Mangos: Leckerer wird's heute nicht.

Wer #Fruchtleder noch nicht kennt: Früchte pürieren und auf einer (wassserdichten!) Unterlage im #Dörrgerät zu einer dünnen, lederartigen Masse trocknen lassen. Fertig.

Das war die Kurzform, die Details findet ihr im Artikel.

Aber Achtung: Das Zeug ist unfassbar lecker & ihr werdet das weg-suchten. Sagt nachher nicht, ich hätte nicht gewarnt.

Well, I was on the money on both counts, so now I have a tared scale and a separate bowl! I started sanding the bowl, I'll continue with that tomorrow and then apply some metal varnish that's been kicking around in my storage. It's hard to get all the rust spots out, though.

Moin #Schwarmwissen, in meinem Heimatdorf findet sich gerade eine Bürgerinitiative für #tempo30.
Ein möglicher Punkt wird die #Lärmbelastung sein. Wir würden dazu gerne Daten erheben.
Kennt jemand #diy Projekte für die Messung von #Verkehrslärm im Außenbereich, die günstig und mit Kindern ab 11 Jahren umzusetzen sind?
Vorerfahrungen sind wenig vorhanden, aber Motivation 😄 freue mich über Hinweise 🤗
Judith @tantau did grow a wheelbarrow full of #topinambur !
A year ago we learned why it is also called #fartichocke... Do NOT eat them like french fries on your first run.
I just read that boiling them in acid (lemon juice) is the trick to make them less gas inducing. Worth a try.
