Does anyone know why my LG front loader sounds like this?

The noise is definitely internal and is absolutely related to the drum rotation. It’s been like this for a while but I am afraid it is heading towards a catastrophic failure.

It is not in contact with the walls or anything else around it, and it is on rubber feet. The transit bolts are all removed, and I have checked the drum and filter for anything that might have been inside.
The box on top has some baking trays, when I clear the top the noise remains.

Reminder to be vigilant for ticks

Just some advice/reminder to anyone particularly if travelling to Center Parcs for holidays: Read up on what ticks look like, bring tweezers, antiseptic wipes and repellent, long sleeves and pants, and check your kids every day.

We are just back from a trip with another family. Both of us have infants under 6mths (so not playing in the forest or long grass) and both of them got ticks on their heads, most likely dropping into the buggy from leaves or passed from other soft clothes.

It’s obviously not unique to Center parcs, ticks are not uncommon in forests and grass, but visitors might not be aware to be checking their kids and what to look for, and Center Parcs is a very popular destination and like anywhere else here there’s no signage about ticks. The onsite shop doesn’t carry repellent or antiseptic wipes but we did get a tweezers there

Recently bought a house which has two Viburnum Tinus (I think) around 1.5m from the front wall.

I read that these should be at least 6ft from the foundations so I am considering transplanting and dividing them to the front hedge.

I assume this is one of those jobs which is much more frustrating than it is usually described. Am I being overly careful?
