“If you can’t fix it, you don’t really own it”
Stientje v Veldhoven, Dutch Secretary of State for the Environment
Whilst I’ve managed some fairly small mends recently, the mend I want to share today was so big that it took two of us to complete and I didn’t have the energy left to write about it. So, over to Mr Snail for all the details (prepare yourself for the puns)…

Do pop over to read it, there is a picture of me brandishing a tool!

/ September 28, 2020I have to say that it wasn’t a mend that I enjoyed very much, but it needed to be done and I was pleased that we managed it as a team.

Not sure I agree with Mijnheer van Veldhoven though. I mean, I can’t fix my laptop, but I do definitely own it. Perhaps having the ability to pay someone else to fix it counts…

/ September 28, 2020I think so… and perhaps paying someone of your choice rather than being forced to go back to a single company, who can then charge what they like and withhold the service if the choose.

/ September 28, 2020As we would say in Maine, that is some repair. Wonder if that material would be good for a house roof. Ours is going.

/ September 28, 2020If only some of my neighbours were so thoughtful about the lie-ins of others. Last Sunday, bang on 8 a.m., the noisiest brush cutter in the world was in use, followed swiftly by the noisiest ride-on mower. To think they used to complain about my cockerel.
