Hi there, Pals! How are you today? It’s a bright sunshiny day here and I’m not ready for spring yet. Plus, we need the cold to kill all the viruses going round…

Anyway, I’m feeling a lot better compared to how I felt las week but I still have this persistent cough and I needed to postpone finishing Build with Tasha and schedule my own slightly shorter routines this week. I overslept yesterday which meant that I had to work out after work (how on Earth I managed to do that for 4 years is a mystery to me…) I worked you with Brian yesterday and this morning and now I walk like a cowboy.

Let’s move on to our fact-finder fragment. Have you ever wondered why paper cuts hurt so much? Firstly, because we usually get them on our fingers which have thousands of sensory receptors, or nerve endings, in each fingertip. Under a microscope the edge of a piece of A4 is jagged, as if covered in cactus needles. This means paper doesn’t cut ‘clean’ but tears through the skin damaging more nerve endings as it does so. Paper slices deep enough to trigger the nerves but not deep enough to shut them up.

All right Pals, I need to go now, be good if you can, eat fruit and don’t smile at undeserving people.
