Duvet

Winter duvet washed in 9kg machine. Largely dried in garage over night, then 2 days outside in the sun.

Woox smart plug

This was bought as a Woox 5402 from Amazon. It had Tuyau firmware, seen at boot on the serial port. There are a few sites that enable you to reprogram these without opening.
The stock FW needs an app and you need to register with Woox. A few people reckon they phone home.
It's nicely made.
I didn't want a system that can't operate when the internet is down, or even to register to use it, so I've blown in some simple MQTT FW.

Cubster

The tongue on the chute got bent and no longer fitted onto the deck.
Took the opportunity to clear all around the hydro box which was pretty choked
Oil in box 45mm down vent pipe
drive belt work on inside edges.
65:56/181.1 rear back plate has also got quite badly bent and the bin was falling off. Better now, but not right.

4/6/20 replaced steering ball joint front right. Wasn't too bad.

27/8/20 took put the petrol tank to fix the hand brake which no longer locked. Turned out that the screw holds the handle on was almost lost. It has been getting worse and worse. The design isn't fantastic and the metal pull rod for the mechanism has made an oval hole in the handle. I've tyraped it up, so the tyrap should wear out first.

I also tied all the cabling out the way as this was rubbing on various parts like the steering column.

The throttle, which has always been a bit odd, and didn't like to stay at full revs was broken. The bowden cable had come out of the crimp, so that was crimped, oiled and replaced.

Paving next to the terasse

The grass area between the terasse and the slopey gets very wet and cant be walked on in the winter. As a temporary measure I plopped some spare slabs on it about 5 years ago. 2 years ago I bought another 10 and plopped them in between the others so you didnt need giant footsteps. Long story short, I finally got around to actually laying the slabs semi-properly, with a drain down the middle. Semi-properly as they are straight onto the clay.
Time will tell whether a lack of sand and cement will come back to bite.

The drain stops under the 2nd slab, after the turn on the long northern going run.
