Proof from Google translate that Croatian and Serbian are not that different...

Being a bit hum-drum about the Ex-Yugo experience or maybe just busy

Just heard the sad news that Rosemary Bailey Brown split up with her Yugo husband. Sad as this was the original inspiration for this blog, and perhaps double sad as I haven't really done justice to her original inspiration (I haven't blogged anything in nearly a year). But as the summer nears and we start, at least, to talk about going to Croatia on holiday, perhaps I should start again.

We've had another child since the last entry, which accounts for some of my inactivity, but I think the truth is I'm running out of bloggable material. Or perhaps more accurately I'm a bit humdrum about Serbia, Croatia and the cross-cultural stuff that I would discuss in the past. In short, I'm used to things. It's somehow a part of me and like all parts one forgets about them. As G said to me today (after hearing about Rosemary's break-up) - even if we break up I'm stuck with the whole thing - "you've mixed with us now and it's your kids heritage".

Anyway, we head for Croatia in a few weeks and my mother-in-law is visiting again, so perhaps inspiration will come again.
