It was vacuum cleaner week!

Naturally we had our usual haul of items for repair such as garden machines and tools, table lamps, a kettle, some sewing and even a porcelain statuette, but most notable was the flood of vacuum cleaners...

That's right, we had no less then seven in for repair.  It doesn't matter how expensive they were or what brand they are, they just don't seem to last.  Yes, they are better at cleaning our carpets than those metal monsters of the past, but the additional features mean there are more opportunities for something to break down.  That's why repair cafés are a good idea.

Not so many photos this time - we were too busy fixing vacuum cleaners.
