It never fails to amaze me how for three and a half million years of human evolution we didn’t have H&S, but now we can’t even stand on a ladder without it. I was equally amazed just the other day with a reminder from the ever friendly H&S team to always ensure maintain two points of contact when using the stairs, when better advice might be don’t stare at your phone when climbing or descending stairs. <br /><br />I do sometimes worry that the amount of lead that has moved into my garage might have shifted the center of gravity of the earth and is the root cause of climate change.Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-53058469777180436722018-12-25T06:43:20.590+13:002018-12-25T06:43:20.590+13:00Strangely enough...

To make things worse, the lack of sun today means that my solar powered outdoor lights aren’t working and I nearly broke my neck putting them up!Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-19084754838283066802018-12-24T22:08:45.919+13:002018-12-24T22:08:45.919+13:00Thank you Phil!Thank you Phil!Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-89533861395825324962018-12-24T21:46:57.174+13:002018-12-24T21:46:57.174+13:00Thanks!Thanks!Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-58931654245759378772018-12-24T21:08:00.835+13:002018-12-24T21:08:00.835+13:00A Merry Christmas to you !A Merry Christmas to you !The Good Soldier Svjekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08749564052124659180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-84109288211510952852018-12-24T21:03:37.790+13:002018-12-24T21:03:37.790+13:00Have a very Merry Xmas Mark...
