Bon, c'est lancé, affiche collée ou scotchée dans les magasins du coin et sur les affichages libre ...

... je lance un Repair Café dans ma région (dans l'Aube, près de Nogent-sur-Seine)

Si quelqu'un⋅e de Mastodon est dans mon coin qu'il ou elle n'hésite pas à faire signe !

#Canada - #RepairCafé sews, bolts, and seals up the leaky, slow, and damaged

Written by Hayden Michaels Tuesday, Apr 01 2025, 6:00 AM

"The #SwiftCurrent Repair Café has once again come and gone and left the world a better working place.

"From clocks to mixers, from radios to jackets, almost anything that could fit through the door was examined, diagnosed, and put back in working order. While the volunteers can't tackle anything too out there or too large, they make sure to stitch, staple, and suture what they can mend.

"This year, Keegan Story and the rest of the volunteer handymen and women were happy to help fix 80 per cent of the items brought to them.

" 'Electronics and appliances are one of our busier areas,' shared Story. 'Today they fixed a kid's toy DVD player, a vacuum cleaner and a few other miscellaneous electronics.'

"One of the special booths at this event was the #PinballMachine corner. Kids were infatuated as local Pinball Wizard/technician Darwin Gooding built one of his '70s machines and let them play with the finished product.

"Other interesting fixes were computers, mechanical clocks, clothing, and just about anything and everything else that Swift Current brought out.

"The goal of the Repair Café is to mend items that normally would go in the trash. Be it their disposable nature, or the unrealistic monetary nature of certain fixes, this bi-yearly event unshackles practicality in favour of keeping what is old, new, and what is broken, pristine.

" 'We've got a lot of people here that are handy that just like to offer their support,' said Story. 'We're keeping some stuff out of the landfill and keeping some money in people's pockets.'

"The next Repair Café will be held on October 25, 2025. Anyone looking to volunteer is encouraged to reach out via the Repair Café website or to contact them on Facebook."

Spent this morning at Wellingborough Eco Group's #RepairCafe. Didnt do anything particularly helpful myself. Several items were fixed, others were going away to order replacement parts which they'll then return with and have fitted, and a steam iron was declared broken beyond repair.

Two Repair Cafe fixers busy at work, are interrupted by the photographer . Closest to the camera an electric sewing machine is being serviced. Furthest away something electrical is being fixed with an electrician's screwdriver in use

Today I got up early and went to my first #repaircafe

Thanks to engineer Paul, after decades (because I don't mess with what I don't understand) this electric clock is functional.

He advised me to buy some new flex for safety reasons- I ordered replica fabric-covered cable in dark brown - and next time he'll replace the power cord. It'll be safe to use :)

I was happy to donate to keep the repair cafe going.

Against a pale wall, an old brown Bakelite electric clock with its flex and a large pale circular dial stands on a brown wooden cabinet.

Vanmorgen was er een interessant gesprek over #Linux bij #nieuwsweekend

Luister het hier terug:

In Amsterdam kon je hulp krijgen in bij de installatie van #Linux.

Ik gebruik al jaren Linux en raadt het sterk aan.
