10:08:33 CET The company that will fix the roof (the very same that placed it not even 5 years ago) was here this morning. They took pictures and, hopefully, temporary fixed the torn up roofing. They will have to come back to do it properly. At least now we should not have leakage... I have my own thoughts/concerns about the level of quality they provide. I still remember one of them who was complaining that he had to do all the work himself. Maybe now, only 5 years after, we are suffering the consequences of some shortcuts made at that time..?

12:22:54 CET So, J is going away for a couple of days - 3 to be specific. It's a tradition that the they have to go away for a "bezinning" - it means basically that they have to spend some time in solitude for reflection. They are going to a proper monastery and I think they are not allowed to speak most of that time. Anyway, tomorrow he is going. I will have to check exactly which monastery they are going to...
Did you know? I try to find an interesting historical event that occurred on this day. 10:08:54 CET Did you know... that today in 2014 president Viktor Yanukovych of Ukraine is impeached (He currently lives in exile in Russia). This was a major goal of the Euromaidan rebellion (who wants to break away from Russia).
