There are calls on people not to take "unnecessary risks" with work
around the home over the coming months.

Doctors are concerned that the number of injuries will increase as the
public spends long periods in their homes because of a coronavirus
crisis.

"The temptation over the next few weeks will be to do the things
around the house that you've long avoided, like putting up shelves or
pictures.

How lacking in ambition!

Just one of my tasks is to get the wall cupboards down in the kitchen,
pull down the rest of the ceiling, re-wire the lights, re-board the
ceiling, paper the walls, get the cupboards back up, replace the
flooring, replace the worktop, connect the new oven and hob (changing
over from gas to electric).

In case of emergency, I will however have a trained nurse on hand -
trained both as a general nurse and a psychiatric one ... just in case
the going gets too difficult! She can no longer work due to health
problems, so will be permanently available.


But if you develop 'man flu' she will call you a lying wimp :-)
