Drying shelter collapsed

I have just returned from Mina 1 Mai, where:
- visited the dental surgery, met the dentist
- met the head nurse
- met many patients and staff members
- visited the flat
- visited the kitchen and the hospital too.
Results of the visit:
- there is broken hose in the dental surgery which caused the flooding of the surgery, but water was stopped and all is fixed except they would need a new hose for the water heater
- met the head nurse who told me that her husband just died on the 12 January because of heart attack, he was only 66 years old (similarly like my father did).
- checked the flat
- checked the kitchen
- regarding the food I discussed with the head nurse and patients and staff and the answer is this:
- From Monday till Saturday the catering company delivers 3 times per day hot meal (sometimes is very hot). Sundays they deliver only 2 times because at noon they deliver the lunch and dinner too and the kitchen staff will give the patients the dinner in due time. That would be the only cold dinner of the week.
- Food is mostly just about sufficient but there are times when it proves that is not enough the quantity. The quality as well generally speaking is lower than as it was before. The proper answer it would be that both quality and quantity is less than before.
- As the food arrives warm there is no need for reheating it. However in the kitchen the staff is forbidden now to use the stove.
- The kitchen remains so far as it is now, because it is the place where the food arrives and from there whey have to put it for the patients plates and mugs and finally wash the dishes.
Even in Brasov the snow is melting now, there is still a huge quantity of snow in the village the photos prove it.
At the very end of January due to the massive amount of falling snow, combining with a huge wind, the drying shelter from the back of hospital collapsed, could not hold the massive amount of snow on the top of it.
When that happened Simon was just about 10 meter away. The good news is that no one was under it so no one was hurt!
As I saw the top sheets I think can be reused and some of metal support too, but there are bended metal supports which are not good.

See the school today:
The request from the head nurse it would be IF POSSIBLE could you please in the summer fix it.
They do send their best wishes to you.

The car lock broke down

The driver side door's lock and actuator which comes together was faulty and took the car to the garage to fix it. They have opened the lock and fixed back now it works, but the problem is that they do not know what caused it, as I could not open the lock and when opened from interior I could not lock it anymore. Our suspicion is that the actuator which does not work well on cold winter time has been blocked. I also have read that many Ford Focus face the same problem: actuator and lock faulty, they are no good in winter time. At this moment it, works but not sure for how long...

Snowing and snowing and snowing

and when will be over?
