There is a good guide on handbrake maintenance OR you can just tighten the cable...

Nice one - another happy year!

It's usually the individual wheel adjusters that need attention rather than tightening the cable - very easy to tell if there is excess "slack" in the cable, but if there isn't much then tightening it usually just causes the shoe operating levers reach their maximum travel before the shoes meet the drum.  In my experience anyway  ;)
