PARIS: The boats from Friday’s opening ceremony all stowed away, the Olympics have well and truly begun. The constant drizzle over the city, its gloomy skies, raincoats and umbrellas — parapluies, in these parts — and the mawkish expressions of the Parisians, is just a distraction. Don’t fall for it.
Soon the skies will clear, the sun will shine through, bring with it that breeze, returning the city to old ways of its famous summer. Be distracted by that.
