No lies, what does it feel like to hit rock bottom?

The Croatian word for March is Ožujak, which has two possible interpretations. It could be connected to the weasel (lasica), which is a nod to creatures emerging from winter hibernation; or more pertinently, that it derives from the word laž, the "lying month".

Why moving house moved me in many ways

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have recently moved from Žnjan to Kaštela Lukšić. It’s been a long time since I moved anywhere.
