The Trees Not Cars campaign is making a renewed push for some much needed green space in central Manchester. They've been pushing for the former Central Retail Park in Ancoats (on Great Ancoats Street, right next to a Primary School) to be made into a park. The council thinks we need new offices and don't care about the extra pollution or the quality of life for those living nearby.
Most of the gigs we go to are 12 people watching a folk singer in a pub backroom - so it was a little different 🤣 They're probably the only band that I could be bothered to go to an arena to see.
It was a huge amount of fun and great musical performances too. The support act (Dave Hill) was really funny too.
Gertrude Bell was an archaeologist, travel writer, explorer and political administrator, responsible laying the foundations of the modern state of Iraq.
She made important contributions to archaeology and her books have provided a greater understanding of the cultures of Mesopotamia and ancient Persia.
Good news! Manchester has finished building the world's largest PlayStation 2. Reports are they used an unofficial 256mb memory card for some whopping huge capacity, so some games might not work.

The bees are done, and instead of fish I made balls to go with them. I tried making a fish, but it looked a bit sus, so I went with balls instead.
The last pic is the event these are being sold at, so if you're in the Sale area tomorrow and you're looking to spend some money to help animals, head on over! #bee#manchester#rspca#catsofm33#charity#sale#crochet#handmade#catnip#cat
10 catnip-stuffed bees done! I would have made more than 10, but I have run out of the black yarn.
However, I have found a nice fish pattern, so I am going to make some of those to fill the void.
These are being made for a colleague to sell to raise money for a cat charity, I forgot to make a note of the charity but I will find it out so I can make a donation on payday myself!
I've been asked by a colleague to make several small bee cat toys. This is my practice bee to make sure my re-sized pattern works, I will do the wings slightly differently and have them much closer together, but besides that, I am happy with my little friend!
The real ones will have some catnip in them but I'm not 100% sure how I should put it in there - should it be in a little bag inside the stuffing or can I sort of mix it in with the stuffing?
