Package 1/3 has been delivered. New yoghurt cultures, with free samples of a couple of other varieties to try.
And package 2/3 arrived as I was typing, new mower blades so I can neatly chop my new grasses instead of mangling them.
Edit: And package 3/3 has also been delivered. Splitting up the postal service with lots of competing services has really increased efficiency. /s
The package was missing one file, which apparently was my fault as I don't appear to have actually ordered it. Oops. I've now done another order for the missing file, which fortunately I don't need straight away anyway. I do now have all the supplies I need to clean up the mower a bit. It has a bit of surface rust underneath due to being put away with wet grass not being cleaned out, so I am going to give it a good clean and a new coat of paint underneath. Then I'll be trialling a silicone spray that's supposed to prevent rust and help stop things sticking as much which will hopefully help clean it up easier in future. Plus sharp blades should help cut the grass instead of pulverise it to a fine paste which it looks like has been the situation recently.
