A quiet first week of June at home and at the office after the travelling in May.

On Sunday I was inspired to make a nice recipe from the NY Times cooking section, my main source for recipes these days. It was grilled halloumi cheese and courgette, in a salsa verde. Here are the goodies before being placed on the BBQ. It turned out delicious:

Of course I also cycled during the weekend, this time to Jijona where the main street (where I usually take a break) was closed by the police. The reason soon became apparent: a Corpus Cristi procession:

Carrying pieces of the altar which will be used to celebrate Mass right in the middle of the street:

The participants were of all ages…:

And a variety of sizes too:

As usual, I stopped at the beach bar 100 Montaditos, for a pint and to do some people watching. These two children made a nice symmetric tableau:

These two are doing more normal beach stuff:

One morning, during my pre-work bike ride, a very different beach view:

On Friday Eri and I had lunch at a restaurant in the centre. She works on our communications, and the following week a media campaign that she had been working on for weeks was starting. Unfortunately, this meant that we were disturbed by a couple of phone calls:

We were at a traditional neighbourhood restaurant called Bodegas Gambin. The decor is nice:

And the food even nicer; simple stuff but top quality ingredients:

We ordered an arroz meloso (a rice that has more sauce in it than a paella would have):

I finish this short blog (by my standards) with a couple of the cats in Verdegás:
