Diamonds, bicycles and fish souffle
You're super cute! Shouts a black pizza truck driving past on a moped. He has bright yellow sneakers and colorful hairpins in dreadlocks.
Warm, but smells like autumn. Mid-September, although the calendar - early August.
I am walking through a residential area in the center of Amsterdam. Each porch has a wooden bench and tubs with flowers, and the trees are covered with bicycles: bicycles with child seats, bicycles for singles, bicycles with soft pads on the boot and women with woven baskets.
“There is even such an expression“ Amsterdam mom ”, - my colleague Riko lets out a stream of smoke and pokes the tip of a cigarette on bicycles stuck to a tree. “They not only manage to ride bicycles with two small children in front of themselves, they also keep an umbrella if it rains.” And many of them are talking in parallel on their mobile ...
And not a bit of exaggeration, really! Amsterdam is a crazy two-wheeled city.
The dark green door of the house opens, and on the threshold appears a tall man of years 50 - an elegant, in blue expensive suit, curly hair with gray hair beautifully combed back. His white shirt blinds his eyes, and Hermes Terra and marijuana smell in the air.
A woman comes out after him - in a black evening dress. Diamonds shine in the ears. Laying. Silver studs, silver clutch. Red lipstick.
The two of them are incredibly beautiful - and this is how it all goes around: brick houses with large windows, petunia balls above the entrance and on the pillars, a summer Amsterdam evening and a canal rustling with water right behind the house.
The woman leans over and kisses the man on the cheek. Then he runs his finger along the red mark left on his skin. AND…
... and they ride bikes and roll away.
Frozen, I look after them for a long time. A picture stands before my eyes - a silver side of a designer boat-stud shining in the August sun, resting on the bicycle pedal.
The air is saturated with perfume ...
And you say - mothers ...
