Surplus weight and Finnish construction work
Hmm, maybe it's true what some people - pretending to be joking - are telling about me and I should loose some kilograms.
Today, we sat on the patio and had breakfast when Jan (a co-dweller in Tvärminne) heard a bird's voice from within the wood covering of the building. Obviously, a young barn swallow from a nearby nest had somehow gotten lost and couldn't find a way out anymore.
So we decided to start a rescue manoeuvre. I fetched a ladder and climbed up. Unfortunately, Finnish construction work doesn't seem to be of the same quality I'm used to. That's why I almost crashed through the ceiling when stepping on the wooden boards, which - as we found out unvoluntarily - were only losely nailed up.
At least clumsy birds will now have an easy way out in case they should get lost.
