I’ve only just discovered the Weekly Photo Challenge on WordPress, so this is getting in just under the wire… (I need something to distract myself with while a workman pours large amounts of water onto a window I know to be leaky, and leaky in the worst possible space, of course.)
The photo was taken on a meadow in the beautiful Engadine earlier this year. Hope you like it!
When we had a new roof put onto our old house (in addition to turning the house upside down, adding a floor, turning the staircase into rooms and rooms into a staircase etc.), we opted for a barrel roof (actually a double-barrel, in a way) made of wood and covered with zinc from the outside
and later insulated from below:
The architect/engineer team who designed it for us is now planning to do something similar for a student dorm but has met with the question whether a zinc roof would not be terribly loud when it rained.
As we have established, I like rain, and I certainly can hear the rain from my temporary office in the uppermost floor but we decided to do a soundcheck nonetheless. Result: All the rain sounds I can hear do not stem from the actual roof but rather from the windows and skylights we had put into it (I’m a bit of a daylight junkie).
This is all good well, except that I now can’t get this out of my head.
A perfect summer evening at an open-air concert: €51 per person.
Watching the husband watch a beautiful woman in a red dress, only to have him point her out saying excitedly: “She’s got the most amazing protruding ears I’ve ever seen!”? Priceless.
I’m only here because of you, indeed.:)
