From 21st May the 241 was one of several routes altered in East London upon the opening of the Elizabeth Line. The section between Custom House and Canning Town was withdrawn (covered by diverting the 474 via Keir Hardie estate) instead diverting to Prince Regent Bus Station. Once the infrastructure is in the place the route will further extend to Royal Wharf. Stagecoach East London 11020 YX68 UKE is seen on the 'new' section in Victoria Dock Road shortly after leaving Prince Regent bus station. Saturday 2nd July 2022. DSCN53308.

I know the very first Thing people are going to ask... "Does it play?! Can I hear it?!"
Short answer: Yes, it plays.
...However, there is numerous problems with it, chief of which is the highly flexible neck which sends the instrument way out of tune with the slightest hand moments. Secondly, the string tension causes the head-stock to constantly break apart. Even tuning the Uke an octave lower is still too tight and the sound output is very quiet.
I tired my hardest to make an aesthetically pleasing and functional LEGO Ukulele but after a year of working on it, I've finally given up on the functional aspect. I even changed the tuning pegs from friction wheels to machine-heads, but that wasn't enough to make it tune up.
Oh well, I'll enjoy it for what it is. A full-scale, realistic looking LEGO Ukulele that sorta makes noise....
This is really easy to assemble, takes about 10-15 minutes, depending upon your patience and scissor dexterity (it took me the full 15, but I kept gluing it to my fingers).

My friend and flickr contact Matt Warnes has recently produced UKE - The UK's premier ukulele magazine.
I haven't seen anything like this at our local Barnes and Noble book stores, so its quite a treat to have. I just got it and from the short time I've spent in the magazine, I can tell its a quality piece from the artwork to the interesting articles.
Here it is appropriately displayed with my soprano and alto ukes.
Congrats on your new endeavor, Matt!

The Yellow Bus fleet included many Leopards with the less successful types of coach body developed for the National Bus Company, mostly Willowbrook 003s but also this ECW B51 acquired in 1991. Known by staff as 'Puke', it survived the sale of the commercial Yellow Bus operation to The Shires and was sold in 1998 to the Oxford Bus Museum. It had been bought primarily as a source of spares for a similar ex-Oxford coach and was also intended to be used as a playbus, but has long since left the museum.
Continuing my series of shooting TIP film in my Mamiya RB67.
It's amazing what an instrument like this does. It's easy to play, happy and you can grab it whenever. The fact that a crafted artisan in San Marcos made it out of cigar box just makes it novel.
Pulled out the 90mm lens tonight with my fresh batch of PX600. It's fun to shoot with film you aren't worried about a poor pod.

I run a ukulele event with lots of ukulele players on board a heritage steam train and managed to get a couple of shots I liked amongst the musical madness!
For Valentine's we went to see Ingrid Michaelson perform live at the Aster here in Minneapolis. It was a small pop-up show where it was probably 50 people max, we sat about 10 feet from her for the whole show and it was great.
Afterwards I asked the Tour Manager if he could help me get Beca's Ukulele signed by Ingrid, and handed him the Uke and my silver sharpie. He replied "Yeah I think I can, that's kind of a big deal"
