Some miseries never end

Remember our long odyssey about the balcony last year? Well, it's not over yet, apparently. After almost a year without problems, the dratted balcony is leaking again. It seems we'll have to hire an industrial alpinist to seal the whole thing from the outside, if we don't want the walls to rot, eventually. Just what we needed.

In my despair over life in general, I actually made up my mind and posted Chapter 39 of "The Toreador Chronicles" to AO3. I fully expect the B/J fans, in case they still exist, to tear me in pieces. Well, at least one can delete all kinds of reviews on AO3.
