"Yes, we have no bananas..."

"Yes, We Have No Bananas" was a 1923 hit song...way before my time, even my mother's.  This fellow has bananas, and is having quite a time pushing his cart.

If you'd like to see and listen to "Yes, We Have No Bananas", watch the video below.

Kitty bridge

Sort of a bridge...maybe a mini-pier....but it'll do. It works for this cat.

Body art

"Ow," is all I have to say.  I'm not opposed to body art, either tattoos or piercings, just don't want any.  This figurine is in the window of a piercing and tattoo shop downtown.  For years this space was occupied by Aeroflot, the Russian Airlines.

Leftover Teddy

It's not really the teddy that's leftover, but he's made from leftover yarn. I bought him at a stand in Kalemegdan Park when purchasing some wool sock/slippers for my daughter, son-in-law, and in-laws.  Traveling soon to the US to be with daughter, who's expecting....a boy.  Mila will have a cousin.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"R" is for "red rose"











My love is like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June :
My love is like the melody
That’s sweetly played in tune......

....And fare thee weel, my only love,
And fare thee weel a while !
And I will come again, my love,
Thou’ it were ten thousand mile.

 So wrote Robert Burns, Scotland's national poet.

Do you have or have you ever had a love that is like a red, red rose?

See other R's on ABC WEDNESDAY.

Too much of a good thing....

 
Lush, an international cosmetic company, has several stores around Belgrade.These doggie-paw soaps are being sold to encourage spaying and neutering, something that is not so popular here.The sign in the background reads "Too much sex can be a bad thing."

Your opinion? ;<)

Nothing without Serbia!

Caught sight of this sign at a recent street fair.  These are typical Serbian shoes, still worn in places around the country and for special occasions like folk dancing.  You can read the English on the sign, and the word "Bre" (pronounced 'breh') is one of those words that doesn't so much mean anything by itself, but is thrown in for emphasis, something like 'man'.  The plums are a symbol of Serbia, since they're used for anything from brandy to pastries.

THEME DAY AUGUST 2026--PURPLE

 Purple is the theme for August 2026, and for a while I was avidly hunting something purple. Unfortunately, I found it, sort of. I have MISP...
