The second item was a toy and it belonged to the youngest RCO visitor so far, 4-year old Simon. We were very glad that in the end, Alain managed to fix his plastic hammer.
The final item was a mobile phone that wasn’t charging properly. The charging port needed a thorough cleaning, as dust and different fibers can often block the port. Although it was a simple fix, it highlights an important truth: Sometimes a small issue that can be solved in a couple of minutes can lead to the owner’s decision to buy a new item and toss the old one.
It’s a good reminder that repair is not only good for your wallet, but also for the environment.
All in all, it was an amazing day! We had fun, we repaired some things, we learned many new things and we will definitely be back next year!
Keep in mind that Fjordens Dag was a bonus event this month – so remember to come see us at the monthly event, as always, on the last Sunday of the month, from 1 to 4 pm. This month, it’s September 26.
