Yesterday I wrote that autumn was setting in by Sicilian standards. Today, however, several acquaintances declared it to be winter: after all, there was an afternoon storm and the temperature had the temerity to "plunge" to a mere 16 C.
Poor drainage makes even a shower look like a flood and anyone with the misfortune or lack of foresight to be a pedestrian during a downpour will quickly become drenched, not necessarily from above. Passing cars have no respect for such foolhardy creatures. As you see, pedestrians during a rainstorm are not exactly numerous on the via Sacro Cuore so umbrella collisions are unlikely.
Time for another gelato vol-au-vent
ReplyDeleteI wish you'd send some of that rain down here, Pat! We need it badly...very badly. Bush fires everywhere. It's so dry.
ReplyDeleteThe past two summers were extremely wet, so there's a lot of fodder that is a huge fire hazard. It's very concerning.
Take care. :)
My thoughts exactly, WW. Hi, Lee. I hadn't realised it was still so bad over there. It must be very worrying. You take care too. xx
