A minor panic at work today. Apparently the roof has been damaged under the weight of the snow. This was noticed as there is a metal pole in the office next to mine that is now bent. This is attached to the metal structure in the roof which has been bent and caused this pole to bend also. We await the news from the structural surveyor on Thursday to find out how bad it is. Hopefully the building is insured for this sort of damage. I guess we've never had this much snow since the building was built about 12 years ago. So I've learnt a new word today. A "purlin" is a horizontal structural member in a roof. Purlins support the loads from the roof deck or sheathing and are supported by the principal rafters and/or the building walls, steel beams etc. Let's just hope that our "purlins" can be repaired.
Bowling was fun as always. We so should have won 8-0. The team we were playing were using a "blind" score (20% less their average) as one of the players isn't well enough to play. Graham had a very good game in the middle one and it was down to me not sparing the last frame that we lost by one pin! Ahh well, that's how the game goes. So we are still two points behind the top team with just two weeks to go. We are due to play them next week so that will be interesting. Hopefully they won't play like they did tonight. I think Mark got 6 strikes in a row and finished with a score of over 200. They have taken top place in most of the categories now.
