A pair of tinkerers are busy repairing pots in the kasbah of Fez (Fès), Morocco. Cobblers make or repair shoes, anglers catch fish, peddlers are traveling sellers of household goods, and tinkerers make or repair pots. The old medina of Fez was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1981.
Hoopes Hardware downtown Muskogee has now dedicated a section of the store to bikes and bike repair.
My son and family bought my husband and I a lovely tile as a momento from their Greek holiday. Unfortunately it was dropped before we received it and my husband did a repair that hardly shows.

After the rain this patchwork looks great.
Excellent subject for my series Lines and Planes, surprising compositions in the everyday, a special view of buildings, interiors ... lines made abstract.

Removing and replacing the whole structure would have been costly and dangerous. Here's an old repair that's doing a great job.

Leicester sees 37423 & 37512 sandwich Colas rail 56051 & 56302 as train 0Z56 10.36 Rugby-Colwick depot, ( unsure if for repairs or storage.)
No heavy equipment required. Repairing underground landscape irrigation pipes ain't easy as it looks. Remember, measure twice, cut once.
To give the guy some credit though, he told me this wasn't his job. He's a heavy equipment mechanic. But somebody at CalTrans, in their infinite wisdom sent him out to the old Dumbarton bridge to fix these irrigation pipes.

The moon repairer 7/7 (2015 PslWk)
Ma dernière image de 2015.. Elle cloture une année riche en photographie. Merci encore à tous pour vos nombreux soutiens. L'année suivante sera encore meilleure, je l'espere.
En attendant, je vous partage également mon nouveau site internet, entièrement repensé et remodelé. C'est du fais-main!! Encore non homologué pour smartphone, il le sera prochainement. vincent-bourilhon.com
Cheers.

An egyptian fisherman repairs his boat after a strong storm in January. These people work really hard for less than 200€ per month.
I walk past this fence every day…and today I decided to take a photo of it.
Not pretty, but different. 😊
Have a fun weekend, everyone!
So there we were, heading into Midhurst, West Sussex, when we chanced upon this glorious old lady apparently stranded on the side of the road. I asked the two gentlemen on board if I could help, perhaps by calling the AA or some other roadside assistance service. I mean, people who are still traversing the roadways in vehicles of this type may not be overly familiar with modern technologies like cellular telephones, or suchlike. They seemed none too pleased with my offer. (Perhaps they'd heard it a few too many times already.) Anyway, a couple of minutes later the engine puffed back into glorious life and proceeded to trundle off down the road.
And I can't help but wonder, if these guys went cruising around the streets of London in this contraption, would they fall foul of Sadiq Khan's onereous ULEZ regulations?
We pass this old church on our Main St regularly, but only yesterday noticed that some maintenance is in order.

The cutting-edge technology that keeps the Silverstone motor racing track in tip-top condition could be coming to Croydon. John Bownas spoke to the team hoping to bring it here.
Pot holes – we all hate ‘em, and Croydon certainly has its share.
But now, the borough’s highways team is taking a lead from the people responsible for maintaining Silverstone’s grand prix circuit.
New technology that is good enough for the world’s top racing drivers is being tested in Croydon to see if it is up to the council’s exacting standards.
If trials are successful, the infrared-powered Nu-Phalt repair system could become invaluable to Croydon’s road repair crews who would be the first in London to realise its potential benefits.
Apart from a significant possible cost saving, the biggest advantages that the new technique has over traditional methods are:
•speed: a typical 1 square metre repair can be completed in just 20 minutes; currently, the same job takes considerably longer, and would be only a temporary fix;
•durability: the infra-red triggered thermal bonding means that patch repairs are far more permanent and blend seamlessly into the surrounding road surface;
•environmentally friendly: the process starts by recycling the existing macadam and needs only a small amount of new material to top off the repair.
The council has recently announced a multi-million pound investment project to resurface many of its roads.
However, there will always be a need for fast and efficient repairs in those cases where small patches of tarmac work loose.
This can happen at any time of the year – although it is usually after spells of wet or cold weather that these small holes open up to create a real headache for motorists and cyclists.
In total, the council’s emergency repairs operation currently costs about £560k every year in manpower and materials – and that’s not including the money that is budgeted separately for the major road resurfacing schemes that we will be seeing a lot more of over the next few years.
Steve Iles is the council’s head of highways, and he knows better than anyone else in the borough just how big a task it is to stay on top of the thousands of road repairs that his teams have to carry out every year.
Talking to Your Croydon about this mammoth job and his hopes for the promising high-tech solution, he first ran through some of the big numbers involved.
“We’ve got nearly 3,000 roads in Croydon, and these all get inspected by the council at least twice a year.
“We look out for any problems that might have arisen since the last visit – and particularly any new holes or cracks that could pose a hazard.
“Since January our system’s logged nearly 5,000 new reports from both streetscene inspectors and those members of the public who phone or email to tell us about possible problems.”
In that same time we’ve managed to fill in or repair about 9,800 – but there’s still around 8,600 that we know about waiting to be fixed.
“That takes a lot of doing,” continued Steve, “I’ve got six full-time staff who spend the majority of their day out doing this sort of work.
“And when they can’t do road repairs, because of snow and ice, they drive the gritting lorries to try to keep the roads clear.”
Tony Whyatt is the highways engineer whose research into improved technology solutions has led to the trial of the Nu-Phalt system.
“I’m really optimistic about how this will save us time and money.
“We reuse most of the existing road material on-site and need to add only a small amount of fresh material to each repair.
“There’s no noisy compressors, and the system cuts the number of vehicles and staff involved in each repair.
“We also minimise disruption to traffic – which is good for drivers – and these repairs can be driven over again almost immediately they’re finished.”
Indeed, driving away from our meeting with Tony we drove over a number of holes that had just been filled – and the first thing we noticed was that we didn’t notice them at all.
The repaired road was as smooth as the day it was originally laid.

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at and repair.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.
Port Hudson, is a harbor downtown Port Townsend. With the repair of the breakwater the boats left for others areas.
My effort for Macro Mondays on the theme of Damage - this dragon's broken ear has been glued back together.
I'm on my third straight day of Zen sewing to repair my psyche. It has been fabulous. I've been binging movies and documentaries and working on Blythe clothes. This is a combo of stuff for full size Blythe, middie, and a few Halloween witch dresses for petite. I've also made 2 more Halloween dresses, 2 headbands, and 2 witch hats not shown here. The fruit dress is what I'm working on tonight. If I could just do this for about 6 -10 hours a week all year, I would be in much better mental shape! I need my craft time.
Most of the cottons are from Dollar General. I found a bunch of thin lovely fat quarters for them in the Spring (spring green, tan stripes, blue chambray, and blue/green stripes. The striped knits are thrift store onsies. The fruit fabric is a fat quarter from Joannes.
