So, one of the things I have been doing in the most recent internet silence is putting up a couple of sheds in the garden.
To make things easier for the second shed I thought it would be a sensible idea to finally get a ratchet screwdriver (before you ask, I do have a motorised screwdriver but the torque on it sucks).
So what have I discovered? Using a ratchet screwdriver on recalcitrant wood when you are not used to it is fantastic for leaving you with wrist injuries. My wrists are really, really sore, particularly if I bend or rotate them (medical people: rotator cuff?).
They are slowly getting better, but let's just say I'm not going to be doing any handstands any time soon...
