So here are a few initiatives I’ve come up with. Maybe one of these will hit the spot for you this week and help you feel more productive.

Number one is how to avoid the common cold. Let’s face it, these really drag on once we have them, so life would be so much better if we didn’t succumb in the first place.

Sadly, we all know there’s no fail-safe way of dodging them, but we did have far fewer colds during Covid, so maybe we could adopt some of the tactics that were routine them.

The main one was that we washed our hands a lot. Do you still do it to the same extent? No?

Neither do I but perhaps we should. It might also be an idea to wear a mask in supermarkets, or on buses, or at the cinema if lots of folk are coughing away.

Other good ploys are to keep warm, exercise several times a week, eat plenty of fruit and vegetables and get adequate sleep.

Above all, avoid grandparent-duty where possible when young relatives have brought home the latest lurgy caught at school.

I mentioned bad backs last week and there are a lot of them about. Perhaps one........
