Vacuuming was brought to a halt as the handle of the vacuum came off. It looks like a couple of rivets or similar have broken on the piece that should hold it clipped in. I have repaired it with some superglue and stickytape, but will now have to wait until it dries. Miss Meow is no doubt relieved as the vacuuming stopped before reaching the lounge room. I decided to also give the brushes a good clean, it is alarming just how much hair manages to wrap itself around them.
