Old vacuum cleaner?

Walter from Silverstream

I want to cut a channel into a brick wall using an angle grinder.

The channel isn't deep / long, but there will be a lot of dust - which will pretty much destroy any vacuum cleaner I use to suck it up.

I've asked this here once before, but if anybody has an old, nearly dead, but … View more
I want to cut a channel into a brick wall using an angle grinder.

The channel isn't deep / long, but there will be a lot of dust - which will pretty much destroy any vacuum cleaner I use to suck it up.

I've asked this here once before, but if anybody has an old, nearly dead, but still working vacuum cleaner they'd be happy to part with, please let me know.

My alternative is to buy a new $40+ vacuum cleaner from the warehouse and then throw it away after using it.

I'd rather not do that. It'd be a shame to put that amount of plastics and electronics in the tip after only one use. Better to use something already pretty much at the end of its life.

Poll: Have you heard of the Live Stronger for Longer movement?

We’re raising awareness of falls prevention for over 65s. Older people can worry about having a fall, so much so that their activity reduces and they move less.

Older people can worry about having a fall, so much so that their activity reduces and they move less. Their strength decreases, affecting their balance and the risk of a fall increases. We want to know how many Neighbourly members who are over 65 have had a fall or fear falling?

We value our older people and want them to stay well and independent. We want them to Live Stronger for Longer. We’ll share more about why we’re asking next week.

Why is attunement so important in your relationship?

Ann from Relationship Wellbeing Specialist

Attunement is defined as becoming receptive, aware, or accustomed to something, but it also means "to make harmonious," and harmony is what we're aiming for when improving your relationship.

Attunement is defined as becoming receptive, aware, or accustomed to something, but it also means "to make harmonious," and harmony is what we're aiming for when improving your relationship.

Attunement can help build trust in a relationship, but it's not as intuitive as those definitions sound. To help, we've created an acronym out of the word ATTUNE to guide you through the steps it takes to attune to your partner's emotions:

Awareness of your partner’s emotion;
Turning toward the emotion;
Tolerance of two different viewpoints;
Understand your partner;( try to)
Non-defensive responses to your partner;
and responding with Empathy.

While this process includes many of our other approaches—turning toward, responding with empathy, and validating different perspectives—following it will help you both attune to each other and create emotional harmony.
