Is that the right outfit for a wedding?

The dress, while adhering to a black elegance dress code, exposed a significant amount of skin, including the legs, stomach, and back.

Strangers couldn't figure out why everyone was staring at the river.
A group of German tourists in Ljubljana were surprised by a large crowd gathering along the Ljubljanica River, expecting the arrival of NBA stars Luka Dončić and his team, the Los Angeles Lakers. The visitors, Monique, Kevin, and Dominik, initially did not understand why people were watching the river but were soon informed by locals about the connection to Dončić and a planned four-day team-building event in Slovenia. Fans had been eagerly waiting since early afternoon, some even traveling from nearby areas like Bled to catch a glimpse of the basketball players. Despite poor weather conditions, including strong winds and rain, fans remained hopeful that the Lakers would disembark and greet them. Some believed the best chance to see the players was at the boarding point of the tourist boat, while others thought they might walk through the city center instead. Eventually, a wooden boat arrived at a less crowded part of the riverbank, suggesting the Lakers were likely preparing for a private visit.

Our neighbors' peaceful afternoon was interrupted by an earthquake: "Very unpleasant"
On Tuesday afternoon, around 12:24, a magnitude 3.1 earthquake was recorded near Split, Croatia, according to the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC). The epicenter was located 33 kilometers northwest of Split at a depth of 10 kilometers, as reported by the Croatian portal Net.hr. Residents in nearby towns felt the tremors, describing them as short but strong. One resident commented, 'Sinj, kratko in globoko ropotanje. Zelo neprijetno,' translating to 'Blue, short and deep rumbling. Very unpleasant.' Others noted the quake lasted only a few seconds, comparing it to the sound of a heavy truck passing by. Despite its brief duration, the earthquake was strongly felt, with one person exclaiming, 'Ojoj, kakšno tresenje. Kratko, a močno,' meaning 'Oh my, what shaking. Short, but powerful.'
Fuel prices to go higher
The article reports on projected increases in fuel prices in Slovenia, noting that gasoline is expected to rise by over two cents per liter, diesel by approximately four cents, and heating oil by around four cents. Current prices are 1.582 euros for gasoline, 1.857 euros for diesel, and 1.470 euros for heating oil. The price regulation applies to fuels at service stations outside motorways and express roads, but estimates assume unchanged tax rates. The article explains that price fluctuations are difficult to predict due to daily variations and unreliable data on bio-components. It also mentions that state intervention in taxation could affect final prices. Meanwhile, crude oil prices continue to rise, with Brent crude reaching nearly $95 per barrel and Middle Eastern derivatives also increasing, which influence regulated prices in Slovenia. However, these changes do not directly translate to retail prices, as calculations are based on average derivative prices and exchange rates. The article notes that diesel costs are already at the lowest allowed level under EU law, while the government still has some room to lower gasoline prices.

Verstappen's running low on energy at the home race due to illness.
Max Verstappen je začel VN Nizozemske na sedmih mestih zaradi bolezni, ki mu povzroča manjkajočo energijo. Verstappen je izrazil, da ima simptome, podobne gripi, in da se mu počuti bolje, vendar mu primanjkuje energije. Bolezen ne vpliva na njegove predstave, kljub temu pa je bil v kvalifikacijah na sedmih mestih. VN Nizozemske se poslavlja od koledarja F1, ker dirkališče pogodbe po sezoni 2026 ne bo podaljšalo. Verstappen je domačo dirko dobil trikrat, njegova četrta zmaga je ta konec tedna malo verjetna. Red Bullu v primerjavi s tekmenci primanjkuje hitrosti, kar se je pokazalo tudi v sobotnih kvalifikacijah.
