The moped arrived. Some fast delivery service, they just unloaded it from the van, cash on delivery, we paid whatever the rate was for those 300€ plus shipping, done. Nice, by Tomos, two gear automatic, red. Manufactured in Holland at that, I know that Tomos had a factory there, even Nora or was it Anita back in 1973 said she had such.

Yeeeah... didn't ride one since 1971. Pumped up the tires, remembered how to start it (okay, also rtfmed a bit), pushed it out to the street, cranked it up, starts, goes. Rode it to the corner, turned back... hmmm this isn't as nimble as a bike, the steering swings by 45° max left-right, that will require some practice. This one is not for me anyway, it's for her, for easier transportation to the garden.

For doček we had a roast goose and russian [olyivye aka olivier] salad, a real holiday dinner. Then later we two and Go entertained Neša. Go parked her laptop on top of zmajček, the projector on its desk (obvious from the picture by the angle of the rays), fixed its geometry, nice feature that it can do that, and so we watched lots of Maša and Mr Bearn (cartoon) until late and had good time. The last shot is at 1:20, with Neša standing beneath the projected picture, looking up.

Incredible, but for the whole day only three emails accumulated - I sent a selfie to the staff of suština, of a dark red bauble hanging on the new year's fir, ma reflection in it small but sharp, a real new year's atmosphere, and two oldwave members wishing a HNY to everyone in the group (also happy beyond it). At work, not one. The whole west by sleep dead sleeps (such is the order of words in Njegoš's verse, wouldn't want to change that).
