Rainbow

Rainbow over the sea
Temperatures have dropped and will continue to drop to 16 degrees next week. Rain was forecast but so far we haven't seen any. It's very humid, and you can smell the dampness in the air. The ground in the evenings are wet ... but there is no rain like we want.

Nevertheless we had a very nice full rainbow this morning. It rained out in the open sea and the rainbow appeared when the morning sun shone through it. 

November has begun, and soon Advent will begin too. Some shops are already selling Christmas accessories. Amazing how commercial Christmas has become even in a non-christian country. Well with what we've been experiencing the past years, a little Christmas cheer with presents and panettone is a nice break. And what a surprise ... there's a video of an Italian Jewish bakery making panettone and selling them ... kosher version. And the chef ... probably an Italian ... was wishing people "Buon Natalie" (Merry Christmas) to a Jewish audience. Awkward.
