The commentator just described a measuring device used in the competition as a 'contraption'.

My starter this evening appeared to have been served in a spaniel bowl.
It made accessing the arancini starter very, very difficult!

After our original Roomba died we've been through a Roborock (dead wheel motors) and a pair of Tapo units (brush sensor failures) here we are back with another Roomba.
Let's see how this goes.

First test on this mulching blade on the strimmer.
Apparently the 2t one is better on grass, but this is for brambles in woodland.
An initial test says it's very effective, so I've sharpened it up and checked it's balanced. Away we go...

It's hard times for the car manufacturing industry.

"one day we may be driving cars made in China"
Then they interviewed Boris Johnson. During this they showed how many times he had mishaps on the track.
What a shame for the country there wasn't a really bad mishap.

Needed to replace the kickdown cable on the auto box.
Remove exhaust, shift cable, transmission mount, pan, filter, then the complete valve block assembly.
That ate most of the day and repeatedly covered me in ATF.
Hideous job. #weirdcarbs

Actually did the sums to figure out if it was worth stepping to 25 litres of chain oil, whilst I was in Mole Country Stores and the answer was yes - £5.60 per litre for 5 litres vs £3.60 per litre for this bad boy

Chilly finish tonight. Second build of framed Hazel hurdles, but this time with split rods, which apparently should keep better than the full round.
