Florence in the rain

Rain, rain, rain. It didn't rain in Florence for months and months, so now it has to do it all at once.
You can try to walk very near to the walls, on the narrow pavements, under the overhanging roofs. But every now and then there is a broken gutter, and a waterfall crashing down on the pavement. Or there are a row of rubbish bins, shoved up against the wall, forcing you out into the street, or someone has tied up their bicycle. Of course you can use an umbrella, but the rain drops are so big and fall so fast that the water pours off your umbrella, splashing your legs. The rainy season was supposed to be in November, but it just waited for me to arrive in December!

More films? A feelgood Bollywood movie last night, set in Spain, not the sort of movie one associates with Bollywood. But fun. And with my absolute favourite Indian actor Hrithic Roshan. The title?
Zindagi na milegi dobava - You won't get to live twice.

Selvaggia was almost apologetic about showing something so low brow as a Bollywood movie. But the cinema was packed and everyone loved it. I think this movie might make it onto our screens in England.
