Was removing some snails from the greenhouse. Opened skylight to fling them over the fence (into an uncultivated garden) and the window collapsed on my head! No injury as I was wearing a cap and the glass didn't break. Mortice joint had rotted through. Greenhouse was quite old when we arrived 40 years ago and I keep replacing bits.
Luckily I'd kept a partially rotten roof spar so was able to cut it down, using the sound part and joint it to fit.
Never throw anything that …
