December 9, 2021 - Dinamo beats West Ham 1:0 in London in the last round of Group H, thus securing second place of the group and the Europa League playoff round in the spring.  Mislav Oršić secured the victory for the Blues with a fantastic goal in the 4th minute.

December 9, 2021 - As one Dalmatian breaks ground digging a well in a remote Ugandan village, another conquers her fear of grasshoppers in style.  True love can be intoxicating. And dangerous.   It can make you follow your new love blindly, without any thought of the consequences.  And, to be perfectly honest, I was a little bit concerned about what would happen to young Matea after meeting her for just 5 minutes.  Matea is a beautiful and very nice young lady from Imotski, who I met at the recent incredible charity dinner for Uganda organised by Michelin superstars Bruno Vokal…
