BREADMAKERS | Tuesday, January 5, 2021

#BREADMAKERS: because I’ve clearly only got ten million things to do, I simply must repair my breadmaker. It’s been with me for 15 years and is only really used for kneading dough and proofing it, does a beautiful job at the right temperatures, but it does vibrate and walked itself off a table last week and broke a few bits off. So I won an identical one for £16 off eBay that is in much better condition with all the original accessories, but it’s not MY breadmaker. So at 1am I simply must dismantle everything and strip the parts off the nicer one to put on my battered one. But only the parts I need, no need to use the nicer bits for the sake of it… the rest will be totally dismantled and bagged for spares in the shed. #repair #whynot

#REPAIR: finally, I’ve found the spare parts I need to repair my original #ContaxG2 that I’ve had for twenty years. And then the backup body - which is much nicer, but has no sentimental value, will be up for sale… #contax #g2 #rangefinder

Awesome. You look all over for someone who can really fix leather and they turn out to be two streets away. Standup job replacing nearly all the stitching on my old blue suede jacket which was falling to bits. Bought in Toronto’s Kensington Market back in 1998 for approximately £15, it was actually made in Canada to boot and well worth saving. £35 to fix, and the guy spent four hours alone on Sunday working on it just so he could do a job he was satisfied with. Motorbike leathers next methinks. Pamir Leather Repair on 38 Page Street SW1. Bloody outstanding. #suede #repair #leather
