Pavarotti

Watched three tribute programmes to Pavarotti tonight. You remember how good he was. Football, opera, pasta and maybe pies. He once bought a Black Cab and took it back to Italy, don't know if he ever drove it round the streets of Modena - a small town famous for making balsamic vinegar. It was raining when I went, we bought too many dried porcini mushrooms, it got lost in translation at the market. Saw a signed photo of his at a hotel in Riccione, he may have stayed there on the 5th floor.
