Our session today (21 March) was our busiest ever, with record donations and cafe takings, so thanks to all concerned. Our eight repairers dealt with dozens of items.
The sewing team repaired a pair of shorts, shortened trousers for two customers, shortened the sleeves on a cashmere sweater, adapted a dog coat and replaced the elastic straps on a car cover.
Our mechanical and electrical team were kept busy too, cleaning and sharpening numerous secateurs, shears and loppers. They repaired two electric clocks, removed rust from a tin opener, and repaired:
- an electric heater;
- a metal detector;
- a paper shredder;
- a loudspeaker amplifier unit;
- a desk lamp with a faulty switch;
- a vacuum cleaner;
- solar fairy lights amputated in a hedge-trimmer accident;
- a stool with a wobbly leg; and
- a child’s electric ride-on car
The only things beyond repair were a soup maker and a cuckoo clock.
Our thanks to today’s patrons for their generous donations.
