20-XII-1984.

Just photos... because I got no other records nor remember any events. The quiet period, at times someone would remember I was on kviskoteka, the glory fades fast.

At least we had proper snow, my late father-in-law made a sled for the girls. Don't know who welded it, he was a majstor of all trades, as anyone who builds his own house must become, but I know he had no welder. Someone in the street surely had one. He added the slats, painted it nicely, I stuffed it into the car and brought here, and the girls were happy.

The park by šećerana. The... um, forgot the name of the plant again (cypress, fuckit, can't get it into my head because the name means a tree and here it's always a shrub)... hedges aka 'live fences' (the proper name for hedgerows here) were removed long ago. There were simply too many spots where the plant dried and there was nobody there to replant them. The kombinat had its own horticulturist but the area of greenery his team had to cover was simply too big, as almost every factory tried hard to look like a park, at least around its headquarters. So they had to cut corners and shorten their workload.

This is in the backstreet, the well's pump is visible, and how its concrete slab was taller than the pavement so the thaw water stayed between it and the wall. The wall was somewhat damp even before the pavement was made, but then it got much worse. And it never got fixed, simply shovel the water away when you can.
