It has been snowing in Zagreb since last night. And the pavement in front of my beloved’s apartment building has been piling up with snow. During the week, the job of shoveling it to the edge of the pavement and onto the street rests with the owners of four shops on the ground floor, but it is Sunday today. On this special day the owners of four apartments in the building are required to shovel the snow. According to the law, anyone who falls and gets injured on the pavement on a Sunday can sue the apartment owners for the damages. Which is partly why we are trying to figure out when we could jump in and do our bit. However, this is what all the others owners are doing, as well. To make things worse, there is only one shovel available. Of course, shoveling the snow is also fun, at least on occasion. Now that snow has become a rarity, such occasions are few and far between. In short, the snow-shoveling competition is no less than fierce. It affects even my beloved and me. Hey, she is about to wash her hair! Perhaps this is my chance!
