After a week of celebrations, lunches and drinking, it's time to pull the handbrake a little 🙂 At those parties, on the drink lists, I found various drinks, whiskeys, brandies, wines, beers, but I didn't find craft beer at any of them. There were also very strong, spicy foods on the menus, so in the coming days I have to do some kind of detoxification. I started normalizing my meals, eating smaller amounts and choosing less spicy and fatty foods and less meat.

I leave our apartment for work this morning, the first working day of the year... And as I usually do, I turn the pages of the two "calendars" that are on the key cabinet next to the door. It's actually not just calendars. Each of them is a book of quotations.

When you go to Terazije Square from Nikola Pašić Square in the center of Belgrade, there are several options. One of the possibilities, at the same time the shortest route, is through the passage between the buildings, through the famous Bezistan. Designed and built in 1957 on the site of former buildings destroyed in World War II bombings, this covered square has been a quiet refuge between large squares for years. There were cafes, the largest Belgrade cinema Kozara, various souvenir shops, sweets and handicraft shops... And so my entire childhood. When we went to our friends' birthday parties in our primary school years from 1983 to 1991, we bought badges, printed shirts, interesting toys, hats and scarves in Bezistan.

Whenever, during almost the entire year of 2024, I clicked on Hivebuzz.me and typed in my username, from the screen of my mobile phone, a blue fish stared at me with its big eye.My first goal in Hive, in 2025, is for a Dolphin to appear here 😀 I need 10 million for that. I'm on 8080080 today. I think this is achievable.

When I realized at the end of 2023 that due to one day of absence from Hive, I would be denied a HIVEBUZZ badge, I set myself a task and promised: Badge will be mine!All I had to do was 366 days in this 2024 year (I got an extra day because of the leap year) to publish one post each. It may not be such a difficult task, but the decision I made made it a little more complicated 🙂. I have decided to publish as high quality posts as I can. That there are not many or very few uninteresting posts in my 366 posts...

Since mid-December, when we put up a Christmas tree in our office space I have been thinking about gifts.First it was my turn to figure out what to buy a colleague whose name I pulled out of the hat during the Secret Santa selection.
