In a Naxos Cafe

Friday
Three large TV screens on the wall of the covered outside sitting area. There was a different programme on each screen, and the sound coming through the speakers did not go with any of the three programmes. On other nights when a football match was being shown, all three screens were tuned in to the football match, as well as the sound.
At a taverna in Naxos, there is only one TV screen, but it regularly shows a different programme to that the sound relates to. Trying to cater to different tastes? But football is a majority taste?
 
I noticed that the roof of the café now looks solid. I thought back to one really wet night when rain had seeped through a previous incarnation of the roof.
I thought of other "wet" events in outdoor eating and drinking areas.
And the time when rain dripped into my hotel bedroom on Antiparos.
