Find your fixers, care for them and they will care for you.

Leicester Fixers and its Restart parties are gaining popularity. 
We are getting busier at each event, more people are bringing their broken bits. 
We are asked to organised events in other venues across Leicestershire.
We are invited to spread repair through education and media.
We would like to do it all.

 Yet, our strengths - skills and knowledge - are also our limitations.

 We rely on our fixers to share with us all their gifts. 
We are very lucky to have them, time after time coming to the Restart Party.
We are, I am so grateful for them for coming to the restart party, one, twice, all the  time. 
I value the time, effort and energy they all bring in.
Their care is valuable.
Without it, none could be possible.
Items will be thrown away, no new skills would be learnt, 

 Our fixers tie with their know-how a community together.

 Yet, each community is bound to space and time.
We care, I care about giving space and time to all those involved with Leicester Fixers.
Hence, very careful about expanding our reach, no one need burn out.
It is why we need other repair communities to emerge where people want to.
Luckily, Loughborough repair cafes have been running for a while now.
Melton space is opening in Melton Mowbray, 
We want more of this to happened all over Leicestershire.
For it to happen, we need those inspired to create know how communities to knock on doors, 
ask for help directly in the areas where they live. 

 Find your fixers, care for them and they will care for you.

 We, as Leicester Fixers, we will support as best as we can in the time and space available to us.

Missminimalist , Thank you

I was hooked to missminimalist blogs in the past four days, reading approximately 16 pages of individuals testimonies on how they started and enjoyed their minimalist journey. It opened my eyes on the endless minimalist lifestyles that any of us can implement. I admire the traveller, the spiritualist, the true materialist (as opposed to consumerist), the mindful, the artist, the mum, the dad, the designer who with intention choose to keep the things that add value to his/her life and get rid of the frivolous. Beyond just getting rid of things, there is not participating to our current wasteful society, it is recognising that we are all equal regardless of what we own and finally it is embracing freedom. It is why I love it. I encourage you to have a read/rid, I hope it will inspire you:  http://www.missminimalist.com/

Graham & Thrift Out of Order

In the article put forward by Graham & Thrift, he strive to put  forward that repair and maintenance is the central component of the development of economies. and a basis of our survival there is different way the article canbe quite useful within the thesis. First, in indicating that repair provide an opportunity for the being to actually learn and develop oneself through a process of innovation, indicating there and then that repair is the premist of innovation, it is when soemthing break that theindividual tend to develop himself by trying to find way to repair the item Second, that repair processes that happen in citieiss and in everyday life tend to be hidden from mot people who cannot see it happenign by reading report or hearing report when they are actually happening. people can only foresee the item as well when the alter is broken, when it works they cannot actualyy xsee the item but only focus on its function. there is all the chapter about e-waste at the ...
