Nellie’s fine, nothing whatever wrong with Nellie. Nice, industrious St. P’burg lady working the two jobs, Jarik’s cafe & the bakery. Genuine Nellie, not a convenience following immigration. Only thing, sharp girl senses we are contemporaries, of an age, nothing between us in all likelihood. Yet her intuition tells her here was a guy still thinks he’s a lad, scoots around, still sexually active and likely omnivorous. That makes it hard. A little barrier. Some teeny hint of reservation. And it’s not like you’re trying to project; nothing especially flamboyant. Some more regular attire suiting the age would perhaps camouflage. A fix. Unfortunate. Nonetheless, we try the dual text Mikhail Dudin from the op shop this morning ($2) to blunt that little needle, perchance. After some more sampling trying to get a touch of the original. (She knew Alexievich & Tarkovsky.)
