There I was, cutting a sheet of clear perspex sheeting for a new cover on the tropical fish tank when Ooops! the Stanley blade slips.

Undaunted, I wiped up the blood and tightened a succession of bandages, kitchen towels and Elastoplasts around the offending wrist.

Feeling in need of diversion, I laid aside the angle grinder, knife, saw, and perspex sheet, and picked up a book to bury myself in.

"The fish tank looks alright as it is,' My Good Lady Wife assured me, bringing a coffee and brandy for medicinal consolation.
