I was helping my dad, over the weekend, with fitting some new fence panels.
Rather annoyingly, each panel needed to have about a quarter to half an inch cut off it, to make it fit.

Everytime.
But, we got it all done and despite this type of work giving ample opportunity for some sort of injury, there was none.
Back home, I was putting my tools away in the garage and as I put my safety gloves back on the shelf, my finger caught the shelf edge and it took off a couple of layers of skin, right by my fingernail cuticle.
Ouch! It really bloody hurt!
Looks like I need to wear safety gloves when I am putting away my safety gloves!

Oh dear! Stand down briefing
