During the PTO meeting, as a measure to reduce the number of bad marks and other bad things, Zvojko proposed that we shift sitting - that boys sit together with girls, so they'r behave better having a deskmate of different kind. One of the boys was to make new sitting layout.
On the horizon of possible female prospects for me there's now another one - Oli Boj. We met at a dance for 29th, perhaps even danced.
(well, nothing happened with that, but she thought, much later, that this held me for much longer than the actual couple of weeks)
On 9th, late in the afternoon, when it was almost dark, I heard mewing from the well behind the house. It was not a dug well, but a drilled one, with 125m deep pipe, and the pumping mechanism was in the bunker under the concrete slab. It seems someone dumped the kittens in there, so I moved the hatch (actually the kittens were on the slab, but hatch wasn't closed properly and one fell in) and saved all three. Took them home, to everyone's dismay and disapproval. But hey, I did a good deed, saved them, should at least get to keep them. I didn't have a kitten since 1965. I remember one was black, so I called him Černjik, after the czech politician who got wiped out with Svoboda et al less than three months ago.
Didn't work too well, because the little critter shat right on top of grandma's bedcover (a dunja, which is a huge pillow, blanket size, full of feathers - perfect for cold bedrooms). The compromise was that the kittens have the yard, but not inside, or else. OK.
Actually it's more complicated - the black one came later, and of the first three two were gone meanwhile (one died on 17th. february). The one that remained was Blaženko.
Near Bečej there was a volcano of sors, it kept expelling mud and carbon dioxyde. It worked for months, in april even Tito came to see it. The plants in the vicinity went wild. First domestic rock album was published, „Naši dani“ (our days) by Grupa 220 and Drago Mlinarec. I never had it in [my] hands, not even in front of [my] eyes, maybe I saw a random article in some youth newspaper and some abandoned issue of Džuboks (jukebox). I really heard it eventually thirtysome years later.
