#Australia: As a place to fix, mend, and connect, #RepairCafes battle loneliness as well as waste

By Emma Hannigan, Wed 12 Feb

"In south-east #Queensland's Scenic Rim, the sound of tools and laughter fills the air at the #TamborineMountain Repair Cafe.

"While 93-year-old volunteer Leon Hughes sharpens a pair of antique Japanese scissors, fellow repairer Neville Warner tackles a piano accordion.

"'We get all kinds of jobs,' according to coordinator Geoff Marshall, 'from sharpening knives, scissors and gardening tools to furniture repairs and fixing wobbly chairs'."

RTÉ · Thousands without power as storm Alfred lashes QueenslandBy RTÉ News

Good morning tooters. When oh when is the weather going to cool. I had my hopes up, but it’s going to be in the 30’s for another week - 33c for today & it’s 20c already.
It’s a bit of a busy day for me today so I have to get moving. After I’m showered I will take the dogs for a walk stopping off to feed the animals at the other house. After which I’ll bring the dogs back to here & head into Wodonga to give my own garden a very good soaking to tide it over for the last couple of days in Chiltern. I will visit my sister for a while before I come back out here. She was expecting a visit from our younger sister & family who are making their way back from Sydney via a stop off at Mt Hotham where they are now held up for most of day with a road closure due to a bike race. So they won’t be stopping in at all, not even for a short while . My older sister is very disappointed & personally I have my own thoughts about it, but will keep them to myself. #Family
Have a great #Sunday people, keep cool out there & stay safe my pocket friends in #Queensland & northern #NSW
