What have you been doing today?

[conny]

Yesterday lugging desks, cabinets and chairs from room to room and floor to floor in preparation for the students coming back after half term.
Mon - Wed should be easier as we are on a First Aid course for 3 days.

Does that include COVID?

Does that include COVID?

I have no doubt.
IIRC, in the absence of anything better, chuck a tea towel / tee shirt over the IP's face, when administering first aid.

Today...Flu jab then out on MTB.

 

[Mottie]

Just had to charge the battery and run it round the corner to get a fresh ticket on it.

And this morning I’ve had to run up to East London to fit a new battery on it. Completely dead.

(Friday)
Waited all day for a 20 tonne delivery of MOT and a green waste grab. They both turned up at the same time 3:30pm.

Chaos.

Just got back from taking my dog up to the vets for her 5 day post-op check up. Stitches are healing very well and can come out next Sunday. Phew!

You'll have to get your tarmac down quick then. Left over , was it ?

Shouldn't think so. It's just first aid for use in emergencies.

Don't bet on it. Everyone is deemed to have it, and first aid administered accordingly.

Try typing "hse first aid guidance" into Google, and see what come up...

I had to do that to a selfish ba$tard of a neighbour who strung himself up from the stairs about 8 years ago!
We had had a falling out about 2 years previously and never spoke. One day his wife come hammering at the door screaming for me to help. Rushed into their house to find him hanging from the bannisters at the end of a very thick dog lead. I supported his body while his wife had to cut the lead with a bread knife. Got him on the floor, did CPR and kiss of life using a tea towel for protection but it was no use. When paramedics arrived I told them I think I've broken a couple of ribs, his response was, "thats the least of his problems, don't worry." At the inquest it was concluded it had not been a cry for help or a threat because he had known exactly where to place the rope for immediate result. The police had found a couple of books on hangmen and downloads on his computer about hanging so all my efforts were pointless.

What first aid can you administer to someone with 'suspected' covid? First aid is all about stabilising an injured/ill person until professional help can take over.

One of us has misunderstood.
You said you were going on a first aid course.
Secure asked if it included covid.
I said that I expected it to.

You dont give first aid for covid, but you do give first aid while protecting yourself from the IP's possible covid.

Same as any other assistance. Look after yourself first.

Gotcha. And definitely agree with what you are saying. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

The area I'm developing at the front is about 16.5m in each direction and the rear elevation is 7m x 6.5m.
We've removed 140 tonnes of material and shipped in two 20 tonne loads of MOT, so far.
If you know of anyone building a dam or a small motorway, then I guess their leftovers may be useful.
