So many holes were drilled yesterday in this Hardox steel! I even broke a drill, but that was my own fault. And @sable welds everything skilfully together. Project is almost done! Few more welds, bit more grinding. 🤍🤎

Loooooook!!! Grew them 😍

dzisiejsza niedziela wieczór ma mieć nie najgorsze niebo nad #Krakow - lekko "boję się" mgły o 1. w nocy, ale o tej godzinę to już spać planuję 😉

tak więc, zapraszam dziś na #UlicznaAstronomia - gdzieś po 21:coś, jakoś do pierwszych nocnych, tradycyjnie nad Wisłę na bulwarze Czerwieńskim, prawie na alei Gwiazd, idąc od Smoka Wawelskiego w stronę mostu Grunwaldzkiego, dokładnie mniej więcej tu: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/50.05077/19.93498&layers=N

O 18:00 pod Muzeum Narodowym (koło Błoń) zacznie się protest przeciw zapowiedzianemu tam na godzinę 19:00 występowi liderów konfederacji.
