The Girovago

lazy days in the hazy heat

Things sure are hotting up in this town. It's like 35 degrees by day and the nights are just as sticky and sultry. Should be ideal after the cold weather we experience in winter but there really is no spring time. It jumps from hot to cold and before you know it your carefully chosen winter is dying out to be replaced!
Worst of all are the swarms of mosquitos. I went to check out the city beach in Parco Sempione a couple of nights ago and there was actually a dude at the entrance who was paid to spray people with insect spray. In that sense summer is a great leveller in Milan. No matter if you wear Chanel no.5 or Charlie, everyone in the city now reeks of Autan.
