Cracked Breeze block in garage roof...

Is the above anything to worry about? The mortar shows it was built like that, and whilst very rough & crudely done, it has lasted 7 years (2006 built house) and seems to have been planned...

The wood cross beam/joist sits directly 'below' the opposing piece on the diagnol roof joists and is too low to fit on top of the breeze block (as the opposite piece does) so the breeze block does nee dot be 'cut' to allow it to be braced off it.

That's the otherside of the wall:

Rough and crudely done - I`ve seen a lot worse on buildings in Sussex - since 1970
