Tools with Leicester Fixers

Leicester  Fixers won some time ago a £500 voucher to get tools from Ifixit. It was a thrilling gift to receive. This week, I moved forward in defining the toolkit we will order by making some enquiries to Loughborough Fixers as well as Leicester Fixers. Thanks to those who came back to me, I will study your reply and make an order. Even though, there is no plan as such to have any repair event in Leicester in the upcoming year, Thinking about it is a start in possibly doing something about it. 

I also had a discussion with Durgha from Flow Finder about her coaching consultancy services I am considering to use to support Leicester Fixers. She suggested for me to restart our newsletter updating our mailing list about our activities and gather a bit energy there. 

About my personal repair, I returned to Woodgate Computer this week to fetch a data stick and bring some mobile phone. I had four in total. Amongst the four, they took three to give me a quote. Amongst the three, they told me only one is worth repairing. Oh well, I may fix the rest though Leicester Fixers.

What about you? How did your repair week go?

( 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?
