@afewbugs @sheffieldmaskbloc @maskblocorg There was some testing earlier of 3M masks (I think they were 8210's, which have been made forever) which have been sitting on a shelf for like 10 years and they tested them on lab grade particulate machinery and found the performance was barely degraded compared to a brand spanking new mask. The melt blown layers just do not go bad and the only real risk point were the rubber straps. I'd have absolutely no hesitancy about using these masks.
If you spot an unusually tall man with a beard and probably a sweater made of similar fibre volunteering at the repair cafe, that's my brother. If there's an older unusually tall man, also with a beard, hovering behind him and offering him unhelpful advice without actually being a volunteer himself that's my Dad.
We loved the Beryl Cook - Pride & Joy exhibition at The Box in #Plymouth. Her love of life and ordinary people shine through. There's so much joy in her work #Devon #art
