this is going to be very bare bones for now but it's a start.

| 2025/06/23 | bookBinding | notebook/2025-01 | complete | finished off the cover and then attaching that to the book block |
| 2025/06/20 | bike | cubeAttain/refresh2025 | inProgress | I'm now down to a bare frame (except the bottom bracket and headset). I've given everything an initial clean and just need to remove some glue residue from the old frame protection strips |
| 2025/06/18 | bookBinding | notebook/2025-01 | inProgress | trimmed my book block down ready for making the cover |
| 2025/06/08 | workshop | workshop/windows | inProgress | finished fitting the centre upright. Frame for the back window is now basically done except fitting the solid panel to the smaller section. |
| 2025/06/08 | bike | cubeAttain/refresh2025 | inProgress | finished removing the brakes, brake hoses & brake discs. Next step is a real thorough cleaning of the frame. |
| 2025/06/08 | bookBinding | notebook/2025-01 | inProgress | sewed the signatures together and glued the spine |
| 2025/06/03 | bookBinding | notebook/2025-01 | inProgress | folded up all the signatures and punched all the holes so it's ready to (start) sewing together in the near future. |
| 2025/06/02 | electronics/audio | 3In1AudioSwitcher | complete(-ish) | finished the wiring for this yesterday and made up the 3.5mm cables to connect everything tonight. Everything works as it should apart from one issue. When I've got both my laptop and desktop connected I get interference/noise/crackle. I think it's probably ground loop hum but I'm no expert and it's beyond my expertise. A bit of research needed to fix it. |
| 2025/05/29 | electronics/audio | philipsPortableSpeaker | <complete | replaced the disintegrating input cable so that I can actually use this again. Both of the battery connections seem to have gone bad as well but I'm planning on using it plugged in, y'know to really make the most of it's portability, so I'll repair that in the future if I need to. |
| 2025/05/27 | bike | giantTcx/maintenance | ongoing | new TAG T1 saddle arrived so swapped it on in place of the existing one. Once the weather's improved I'll be able to see if it's more comfortable or not. |
| 2025/05/27 | bike | cubeAttain/refresh2025 | inProgress | crankset retaining bolt tool arrived today so I could finally remove the cranks |
| 2025/05/26 | bookBinding | notebook/2025-01 | inProgress | printed the dot grid pattern onto what will become the pages. Could do with some improvements for next time but I'm happy enough as a first go. Now that's done, the first hurdle's out of the way. |
| 2025/05/26 | bike | cubeAttain/refresh2025 | inProgress | spent a couple of minutes removing the front derailleur & looking at removing the rear brake hose |
| 2025/05/26 | workshop | workshop/windows | inProgress | started cutting the joints for the centre upright |
| 2025/05/08 | guitar | yamahaImageCustom | complete | replacing damaged battery clips |
