I have been watching the rather impressive scaffolding go up under the M60 bridge over the last few weeks, wondering what was going on. Question answered by @MENnewsdesk - clever engineering to enable repairs! manchestereveningnews.co.uk/… #infrastructure #M60 #motorway

Lifting a 200m-long M60 bridge just half a centimetre will allow repairs

Repair work is necessary in order to revitalise concrete columns which have begun to rust

On the subject of London museums, one of my favourite exhibitions last year was ‘Biology of Metal: Metal Craftmanship in Tsubame-Sanjo’ at @japanhouseldn. It featured this demonstration of an extreme precision diecast ‘magic metal’ block. #museum #manufacturing #metal #diecast
To mark the end of the F1 season, a throwback to the @DesignMuseum 'Ferrari: Under the Skin' exhibition. It featured a selection of original sketches, development models, race cars and memorabilia - all tied together with punchy graphics in a visual extravaganza. #Ferrari #F1

The Design Museum itself is worth a visit. It opened at the repurposed former Commonwealth Institute (RMJM, 1962/refit by John Pawson) in 2016. The atrium provides circulation and exhibition space beneath a spectacular hyperbolic paraboloid roof #architecture #museum #design

Then we found this guy hiding in the mist. Don't think I've ever come across an ET lookalike rock before. (I'm sure it has a proper name, but at this point we weren't entirely sure where along the ridge we were!)
