Subject: Running_Holmes ... at a price!

Hi to all,

Friday night i flirted with the Holmes comet for 10

hours...

I condensed the night into this video (for all

audiences!).

http://www.makina.it/SAA/Running_Holmes.avi

By the way... while i was doing that video the sliding

door slammed and clicked.

As a result i found myself  trapped out on the terrace

at 5th floor and approx 0°C.

I left my phone and my glasses into the house.

No one of my building could hear me because of the

house arrangement.

I should have shouted very loud in order to awake the

surrounding buildings but sometimes the "dignity" is

stronger than the "logic".

So i decided to climb the roof (canadian roof) with no

glasses and normal (skin) shoes and to land onto

another terrace at the opposite side of the building.

At this point I could knock repeatedly on the floor in

order to awake my wife sleeping in the room under the

terrace.

She needed some time to awake and to understand my

knocks because she knew  i have the telescope on a

different terrace...

All was ok but i didn't enjoy at all that little

adventure.

Dear Holmes you are a risky partner for a night!

Greetings to all

Alberto
