This week I am dealing with a legal matter related to compensation for damages. One of the walls of the block of flats where I live shows signs of dampness and moisture penetration. Thertin homeowners live in this building which is experiencing noticeable seepage because of a shop's bathroom located on the other side of the wall. Unfortunately, the owner of the shop is a lawyer: he said that the moisture penetration is related to our basement. I don't think so, because it's easy to see moisture penetration only on the wall which is situated between our building and his bathroom, whose water main was built more than fifty years ago. In addition, this line of thinking is supported by two plumbers who saw both our wall and his bathroom.
This legal matter reminds me the joke about the Pope and the lawyer which I heard last Summer. It would be a good idea to share the joke, considering that I've just bored you with moisture penetration and seepage.
the joke is named "The Pope and the lawyer".
The Pope and a lawyer are on the elvator to heaven. When they arrive at the gates, dozens of angels, saints and other holy people are waiting for them.
They pick the lawyer up and carry him on their shoulders. They all cheer. They don't take any notice of the Pope who is very sad.
St. Peter sees this and goes over to him and says: "Don't feel bad. We get popes here all the times. It's not every day we get a lawyer".

Today we have had one day of Summer sunny once again. the picture picture below shows one of the things I like most about my town: it's its running path along the sea.
Have nice outdoor adventures!
Post scriptum: I mentioned above the definition "block of flats", with regards to the building where I live. Do you think it is correct? Could I use also the word "condominium"?

We would call it a block of flats here.
Good luck with your case. I hope justice is served.
I haven't been able to comment on your blog in the longest time. I have still been reading but couldn't comment.
I thought maybe today you were going to tell us you were a lawyer for the pope!
Hope all is well with you.
In the US it would be called an apartment building... Good luck, it sounds like a tricky business. Cute joke!
Simpatica barzelletta.
I problemi condominiali sono un incubo qui in Italia!
Love the joke! Got lots of lawyer friends - can't wait to share that one! Good luck with the water damage. I hope everything gets resolved quickly.
