Over the water for last night's #FolkRidingBikes ride. Ferry to Seacombe, rode up the river through parks and industrial estates to the Tap at Eastham Ferry (a real bikers pub, but the sort with engines, they were mostly amused by a pack of acoustic bikes turning up); then back to Birkenhead for the train under the river and home.

Looking back from the Mersey ferry to the Pier Head.  A huge cruise ship, its hull painted with an eye and huge red lips at the bow, is moored at the cruise terminal; just next to the Liver BuildingA sunset view across the Mersey from Rock Ferry.  The sky is a beautiful gradient from deep blue above to orangey-red at the horizon and there's a line of the lights of Liverpool running across the scene along the edge of the river.

You can just make out the pier and pipes of the Tranmere oil terminal stretching out into the river, and a row of tiny sailing boats moored along the low water line on this side.

Walked up what I presume is Montgomery Hill via fp12. Very narrow initially with some low hanging branches (ouch!) but some lovely views thereafter. #fingerpostFriday #Wirral

I remember #DianeSindall being murdered. I often pass her memorial stone on Borough Road. She is not forgotten.

The news that the convicted man has now been acquitted, due to previously unavailable DNA evidence, is shocking. I hope he can rebuild a life for himself. I also hope that the perpetrator can be identified and, if still alive, brought to justice.

What I would also like is for the #BBC to correctly report the facts. Diane Sindall was not "walking home from the pub" as stated on The World Tonight. She had driven from Lower Bebington, where she worked in the Wellington pub, and was murdered on Borough Road in Birkenhead, several miles away, after her car broke down.

As usual, this incorrect reporting of something about which I have a little knowledge makes me realise that I cannot believe anything I hear on the news.

This morning I had a look at the boop stats for the @museuminabox we had at Wirral Makefest on Saturday.

There were 195 boops (objects placed onto the box) over the day.

The top three objects were:
1. the heart (32 boops)
2. the prosthetic hand (23 boops)
3. assistive tech pen holder (20 boops)

A 3D print of a human heart, printed in red plastic, sits on a green cutting matA 3D print of an E-nabling the Future open-source prosthetic hand, printed in blue plastic.  The small metal NFC sticker for Museum in a Box to recognise can be seen on the back of the hand.What looks like a pink cordless computer mouse, but is actually a 3D print of a pen holder, where a pen can be clamped between the "mouse buttons" and when they're pressed the pen would make contact with the surface the pen holder is placed on.

It makes it easier for people who have trouble gripping a pen to be able to use one.

Glorious day for a clifftop walk to #Heswall Shore. Coffee at YOT (now open Mon-Sun) and a chance to admire the new gates down to the shore. Checked for #tadpoles (reduced in number) on the way back to Thurstaston. #Wirral

Tadpole in view.A grassy path runs alongside a coastline, bordered by a tranquil sea under a clear blue sky.

Burning up the back straight (I wish). Anyways, a nice place to get some strides in. #chariotsOfFire #Bebington #Wirral

A running track leads to a grandstand set against a clear blue sky and surrounded by trees.

I wandered lonely as a cloud… #WestKirby #Wirral

Also had a fleeting glimpse of a lizard as it crossed my path close to the top. Can’t remember the last time I saw one. Some evidence of a gorse fire which is sad. #Wirral
