Going up on a roof is taking 'LEAD ADDICTION' a bit TOO far !  :d  Get well soon! :)

I have a nasty feeling it IS his painting arm.

He said yesterday that he was having trouble 'tryping' (sic) with just his left hand on the laptop.....So I assume he's right handed, and it was his right humerus that got broken at the shoulder.

I'm sure all the good wishes will cheer him up......I imagine he'll feel bloody sore (at least) for a good while yet.

I think Nick's comment about the hospitals 'segregating' the covid patients is correct.

If I got the right end of the stick, James said there were umpteen ambulances 'waiting' to discharge their patients.....and he effectively 'queue jumped'...he had nothing but praise for the care he got !!

If you're reading this James......Hope you feel less battered than yesterday.
Take care, Matey.

All the best - Phil.

Having had a 'garage roof scare moment' in the summer, you have my fully sympathy and empathy.

Hope for a speedy recover to all of the aches and pains!

Given up on that now (I also live in a bungalow). Been up on the roof many times during the last 30 odd years but over the years got less agile and so, became more aware of the danger. I remember one of our clients, a roofing contractor, saying he didn't want to be climbing roofs in his late 50s - that was for the younger guys. A neighbour power washed his roof. Flooded the house. Wrong angle.  #-o

p.s. Get well soon, Sunray.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Everything I've heard regarding power washers and roof tiles has ended in tears.

The 'Little Old Guy' has been up on our Bungalow roof, scraping off the moss and has got me to buy some drums of tile paint. Think he'll wait for it to get a bit drier, though, before he gets round to that! Think even HE isn't all that happy and he's loony!  :o
Strange to think that in my early teens, I used to JUMP off the flat roof to attempt PLFs ...thinking that I may have had to do it for real when The Cold War kicked off. Oh, to be young and stupid again! LOL!  ;D

Get well soon.
Bet you thought 2021 couldn't be worse than 2020.
Met a roofer once who had fallen off 3 different  times ! !
and he was a professional ?
