Colour Wheel (Oct25)

  

Gradska, only because of the timing. The Boka kitchen did not open before 10, and Beograd Buffet’s raw oats couldn’t be stomached two days consecutively. Every last one of the balcony tables looking out over the water was occupied by 8 at Gradska, including the one taken by the lass who had been two steps ahead carrying the caramel poodle. Recently clipped or shampooed, now nursed in the lap of the pretty. Oh! She had requested water for doggie. The heat was not yet rising, but the pair may have come from a little distance. Nothing out of the ordinary for a place like Gradska, chrome plated article soon arriving, which the nice young boy from Srebrenica had filled to overflowing. Hurried too much. The last 3-4 visits the lad had been absent. Facing in the opposite direction, it was awkward to keep craning the neck behind. Oh! Briefest glance again, and that was shooting across the bows of a lass who had been quietly eyed on her brief passes along the way. Respectfully brief glimpse. Enough however to sight easily by far the most irradiated pink nail job of these nine plus weeks on the coast. Spectacular. Nothing comparable in Greece, neither Athens nor Thessaloniki. Numerous lesser of course there had been in this contemporary H. Novi. A few weeks ago cousin Velo can almost been quizzed whether he had forbidden his wife the adornment. (With his Belgrade Wellness heiress, Velo’s younger bro might not have been able to enforce the prohibition.) On the last visit sixteen years before, Gradska had been operating there beside the park, overlooking the water.  Certainly it did not date from the earlier Titoist era. Most definitely nothing of the sort in old Lazar & his beautiful wife’s time. On the water’s edge down below of course numerous such places had been trading many years; every likelihood nails along there able to give this lass a run for her money. Thus far the plastic inflatables carried along Njegoseva was the closest one got to that nether world.

 

 

NB. That particular tone in the reds was yet to be reproduced in any of the online colour wheels.
