After the week in Scotland, it was time to settle back into the daily rhythm of work, cycling and other ordinary activities. Until Saturday, that is, when I flew to Liverpool with my daughter to take her to Bodelwyddan in North Wales where she will spend the fall semester, doing an internship at the Glan Clwyd Hospital.<\/p>\n

\nThe way the daylight hours work out this time of year, the best time for me to go cycling is after work. This also means that I get to see some nice sunsets in the mountains:
\n\"R002166\"<\/p>\n

\nThe road to Busot:
\n\"R002162\"<\/p>\n

Next, five pictures taken while walking Cheeta.<\/p>\n

\nWe also had some nice clouds right here at home:

\nCindarella was here:

\nThe real estate market in action:
\n\"R002159\"<\/p>\n

39_7<\/strong>
\nThe golf course cats go for my food:
\n\"R002160\"<\/p>\n

Then, on Saturday afternoon, Monica and I flew to Liverpool, rented a car and drove to a hotel in the suburbs, where we were going to spend that night before heading to Wales on Sunday. We enjoyed a nice evening and Sunday morning in the city.<\/p>\n

39_8<\/strong>
\nThe sight that greets you at Liverpool’s John Lennon Airport:
\n\"R002169\"<\/p>\n

39_9<\/strong>
\nAfter checking in at our hotel, we took the metro into the city centre:
\n\"DSF7849\"<\/p>\n

39_10<\/strong>
\nWalking to our target for the evening, the Brewdog pub, we passed this mural:
\n\"DSF7850\"<\/p>\n

39_11<\/strong>
\nThe week before I was at the Brewdog in Glasgow; now we were at the Brewdog in Liverpool. It has a different look and is also bigger, but the beer is the same. We had chosen to go there because they have excellent vegan burgers for Monica and excellent beer for both of us:
\n\"DSF7861\"<\/p>\n

\nSign:
\n\"DSF7858\"<\/p>\n

\nAdjusting the menu:

39_14<\/strong>
\nMonica at the Brewdog:
\n\"DSF7856\"<\/p>\n

39_15<\/strong>
\nSunday morning at our hotel:
\n\"R002172\"<\/p>\n

39_16<\/strong>
\nWe saw these middle-aged people dressed up as pirates for reasons we did not understand. We just put it down to that famous English eccentricity:
\n\"DSF7862\"<\/p>\n

39_17<\/strong>
\nLooking across Liverpool’s waterfront towards the Liver Building:
\n\"DSF7865\"<\/p>\n

39_18<\/strong>
\nEven pollution looks pretty in the sunshine:
\n\"DSF7863\"<\/p>\n

39_19<\/strong>
\nFire escape, Liverpool Maritime Museum:
\n\"DSF7866\"<\/p>\n

39_20<\/strong>
\nLater, we realised why we had seen pirates in the metro. There was a pirate festival going on at the Albert Dock. Here, they are preparing to fire a cannon, something Monica was NOT looking forward to, as she absolutely hates loud noises:
\n\"DSF7867\"<\/p>\n

39_21<\/strong>
\nEven the lady firing the cannon covers her ears:
\n\"DSF7868\"<\/p>\n

39_22<\/strong>
\nPirate with fries:
\n\"DSF7870\"<\/p>\n

39_23<\/strong>
\nAnother yellow submarine:
\n\"DSF7871\"<\/p>\n

39_24<\/strong>
\nCanal boat showing the flag:
\n\"DSF7873\"<\/p>\n

39_25<\/strong>
\nThree flags: Jolly Roger, Union Jack and Liverpool Football Club:
\n\"DSF7876\"<\/p>\n

39_26<\/strong>
\nAfter taking in the waterfront, Monica and I walked to the Liverpool One shopping centre, one of the nicer shopping malls as far as these things go, partly because it is semi-outdoors and well integrated into the surrounding streets:
\n\"DSF7884\"<\/p>\n

39_27<\/strong>
\nDetail, Liverpool One:
\n\"DSF7880\"<\/p>\n

39_28<\/strong>
\nMonica having her brows done at Debenhams:
\n\"DSF7879\"<\/p>\n

39_29<\/strong>
\nWe looked at books and bought Monica some school supplies:
\n\"DSF7882\"<\/p>\n

39_30<\/strong>
\nThen we had lunch at Wagamama (one of our favourites) and drove to Wales:
