Not funny bone

Lots of golf has been taking up too much time recently, so I instigated a shed clear out project while the marquee was still up after our family barbecue.
I moved everything out of the shed and then stripped off the roof. It was a plywood roof which had rotted beyond repair in about four years.
I have now relaid the floor to wood and used shiplap to redo the roof. The felt is on and it just needs the tar to fill the gaps and a few clout nails to baton down the sides. I was hoping to finish that tomorrow, however, disaster struck today while playing at Chester golf club.

One of my opponents decided to play an unusual shot called a shank which basically travels unintentionally at 90 degrees to the expected direction. On this occasion it travelled about 30 yards at 30mph at three foot off the ground and struck an unsuspecting victim right on the elbow. That victim was me and goodness it hurt. I am hopeful nothing is broken but tonight might be a bit uncomfortable.

The final shed repairs and the restock might have to wait a while, but I will definitely apply a keep, sell, tip philosophy to every item that came out, before it goes back in. Tiger balm anybody?
