The week started with Moses still here, but Sunday was his last full day with us. So we wanted to give him a proper send-off with our classic Sunday lunch.

We went for a walk in the centre, taking advantage of the nice weather. My children are no longer children, but it is nice to have them together:

We sat down for a coffee at an outdoor café, and I photographed the local wildlife:

Then we drove home, and my wife was preparing our feast, starting with navajas:

And mejillones:

The coup de grace was of course the rice (the barbecue just served as a convenient platform for the pan):

The shrimp are just (edible) decoration:
Monday morning I drove Moses to the airport for his flight to Madrid and then on to New York, we said goodbye and I went to the office. A bit sad, but not too much since we will go to visit him in May.

Not much photography for the next few days, but the light during my bike ride on Friday morning made me stop and take a picture of the motorway and the coast:

The leadership of our art club at the office (of which I am the treasurer) needed to meet to plan 2023 activities, so we went for a “working” lunch at Moments:

On Saturday morning we were out of bread, so I walked to the nearby bakery, but a bit too early, so I walked down to the beach for the sunrise. It was a cold winter morning by our standards, but the light was lovely. Even a boring apartment building on our street looked nice:

As did this wall:

I have walked past this spot at least a hundred times since we moved to this neighbourhood in 2018, but only now did I notice this weathervane:

Cat tail in contre-jour:

I arrived at the beach, 450 meters from my house. The light was truly lovely:

Later that morning, I went for my bike ride, stopping in Verdegás, where I was stalked by a predator:
