"should I do something about that?" he wondered while drinking his coffee
To break the ice, two random facts about me;
One: occasionally when I pinch my left lower cheek, the back of my left arm starts to itch.
Two:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fanficrants has helped me answer a question in Trivial Pursuit.
Now moving on.
Travelling hundreds of kilometres over the course of two days is pretty tiring, but anyways. This weekend was spent in playing the violin and singing. An actual practice for our lovely folk music band, Fiddle of Crath. Saturday evening Mom called me, and she had quite alarming news. Switching over to the next one now.
During winter, snow keeps on piling on roofs. All the intelligent Finnish architects design roofs that, as much as possible, prevent it from doing this. When spring comes, the snow melts away, but it comes down to the ground to do so - unexpectedly, quickly, and in large heaps. It's heavy. It's very, very heavy. Okay, and third one.
The roof of the other of our balconies isn't slanting enough to hold the kind of weight the increasing amount of snow creates in spring. This is a known fact in our family, but, to this day (or rather, yesterday) it's never so much as creaked. But this spring, this spring was an exception, this spring it didn't get warm soon enough so the snow kept on piling, and melting, and freezing, and then, when it finally got really warm, the snow from our main roof fell to the roof of the balcony, and--
So, in conclusion: we don't have a roof on our other balcony anymore. The roof is perfectly happy with its new position on our courtyard. It looks corny, lying there all upside down. The metal railing is bend. And god, it's so absurd, I can't stop laughing.

...our balcony used to be unstable too, but dad got it fixed before anything drastic happened.

One doesn't necessarily exclude the other. Take turns, like I'm doing! :D
