…mainly – and thankfully – because of a nice exhibition of fish-themed art! It’s pretty fitting for our seat in the Blue Quarter by the Odense harbor, no?
We had a lovely November event attended by volunteers Ditte, Chloe, Jørgen, Kim, Dylan, and our chairman Alain. Together, they tackled items in need of repair from sewing machines to blenders to bikes.
Items seen:
- 🧵 Sewing machine
- 🎮 Commodore 64
- 🍏 2 smoothie makers
- 🍎 Blender
- 💻 Laptop
- 🚲 Bike
First up, electronics. We fixed a power supply issue with an old Commodore 64, removed a blown fuse from two smoothie makers (they can now return to their day jobs chopping fruit), and repaired an unrelated blender. One person brought us a laptop that was, unfortunately, too badly damaged to fix. Still, it’s always important to try.
In mechanical news, we made some small adjustments to a bike that helped the owner ride comfortably. We also saw a sewing machine, likely from the 1950s 😱 Now that we helped renew its pedal, it will live to sew another day.
Success rate
Having fixed 6 out of 7 items, this gives us a November fix rate of 86% 🙌
