Two years ago, on New Years eve, some friends brought one of these hot air balloons, to celebrate the New Year. They lighted it after we finished the fireworks......the balloon got stuck on the roof of my house.....I thought: this is the day I'll see my house burn down because of that thing......then it quietly drifted to the neighbour's roof......they were not amused......
All ended well, but with the wooden trims around the roofs and all, everybody had quite a scare.
In my cup: beer, white wine, red wine, coffee, red wine and now water. I went to some friends for dinner......
