A miscellaneous week, with no headline events, just the usual activities of cycling, walking on the beach promenade, and of course going to work.

Monday after Easter is also a day off here, so I did a long bike ride in the morning, going to Aigües and on towards Relleu, one of the prettiest roads around here. This is the view north towards the mountains, taken from an altitude of about 500 metres:

One day we had a periodic evacuation drill at the office. The day is announced in advance but the exact time is kept secret. When the alarm goes off, we leave the building and gather at a designated grassy space outside. I do not mind those occasions, as they provide me with photo opportunities:

This cutie was more lively, and his human was most helpful; she was standing behind me and encouraging her dog to pose:
