Let's Repair with Market Harborough Fixers

IT IS TIME FOR EVERYONE TO JOIN Market Harborough Fixers specifically if you live in and around Market Harborough, have an item to fix, have the skill to fix, have the dream that one day every single town and villages have a repair café every month!
Share this post with your contacts in Leicestershire
Yesterday, Divya and I travelled from Leicester to Canvas Cafe in Great Oxendon, approximately 2 Miles Away from Market Harborough.
We were welcomed by Lara and Jen who run the Canvas Café and the Country Bumpkin Yurts and Steven who is running a food growing project on site to support people with mental health issues. He is also involved in a number of projects in the area.
I brought a projector from the Leicester Hackspace, yet it was easily figured that a lovely conversation around a cup of tea was more appropriate.
We received pertinent questions when it comes to trying to organise a repair café, the possible footfalls, how to manage expectations of the visitors and what type of support do we provide as part of the Leicestershire Outreach Programme.
The Good News is that a Repair Café will happen in Market Harborough this year - possibly around May Time.
The Condition to make it a success and specifically to ensure that more repair events happen in the area is for you to join Market Harborough Fixers NOW
Why?
Because TOGETHER, WE ARE STRONGER
So, Drop a hello on the group and let them know what you can repair or fix - maybe you are a good communicator and you want to share the news, or you may be good at finances and want to support with your accounting skills.
We need to know what type of items you have at home that needs repairing.
Say what it is, you may receive some suggestions on how to fix before the event.

What is your job you do?

What is your job you do? Where do your work? are probably the hardest questions to answer to in a short sentence. It is great when you have a title, it gives a splash of your awesomeness in the face of your interlocutor. I am 'Consultant Associate'. I am 'Customer InSight Officer'. I am 'Data analyst Manager'... ( in your face) . Where do I work? I am a flexi-travelling worker. I mainly work from home. BUT, I also work in various places in the Midlands (Leicester, Northampton), also London, I jet set to Paris and Amsterdam sometimes... ( splash in your face) ... Those two questions are set to gauge both interlocutors' status. It is quite sad, the longer the title and list of places you go to, the more you appear awesome. Truth to be told, I love working from home and have a family to come back to after a long day making decisions. In my own perspective, the question should be reframed to 'What are you passionate about?'  At least, you will connect mo...

Time to listen

Sometimes our own perspective on life may get in the way of what we understand when others speaks. Pause, breathe and really listen. You may learn something. if you are too busy with your own thoughts, you will not even realise what was said. You will probably misinterpret some important signal. So what to do, Pause, breathe, ask further questions before sharing an informed answer based on fact and not your own imagination

Are we good friend?

A friend came to visit. She brought flowers and a card. Inside the card, she wrote that I was an amazing friend. To her, at least. It is normal to question yourself on the quality of your friendship and whether or not  you are a good friend to other people, are you doing enough to engage, support, celebrate others when they go through major transition? How much more can you do while racing through life, its responsibilities and distractions? A good tool to use for reflection is the theory of attachment to understand yourself and how your type of attachement impact on the quality of relationships. Have a look and let me know what you think?
