Weekly Grey Lynn Repair Café, on this Saturday 11-2
Hi from Repair & Share and the Auckland Library of Tools!
www.aucklandlibraryoftools.com...
This week we welcome the incredibly talented artist Jan Alldritt-Miller to the team! She is with us this Saturday August 24th, offering paint touch-ups on your old watercolor, acrylic or oil paintings. She's eager to see what you've got, so bring in granny's old painting for a little refresh!
(No repairs of frames, canvas, or damaged paper. No removals of mould or watermarks, though if minor she can disguise them with paint!)
Please bring your paintings in before 1:00 for a chance at a touch-up.

EDIT: We previously announced electrical appliance repairs, however our electrician will not be with us this Saturday due to illness. We still offer repairs in sewing, wood, general, and small electronics. Stay tuned for our next electrician announcement!

Best way to use leftovers?
I'm sure you've got some excess ham at home or cold roast potatoes.
What are some of your favourite ways to use leftover food from Christmas day? Share below.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
