This is our street a bit after sunset:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2018\/37_1.jpg\" alt=\"R004530\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>37_2<\/strong><br \/>\nThe nearest supermarket is about 500 meters away. It has a large, covered vestibule with &#8220;parking&#8221; for dogs. I still miss Cheeta, every day, but I always stop and look at whoever is waiting for his\/her human there.

As always, I walked around a bit, hunting for images, and I particularly liked this fruit vendor:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2018\/37_4.jpg\" alt=\"R004516\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>37_5<\/strong><br \/>\nAnd now to the office. The building in which I work is connected to the other two buildings with an elevated walkway. This walkway is currently being used for a small art exhibition, with the works available for sale to benefit our office charity club (which in turn supports various local charities):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2018\/37_5.jpg\" alt=\"R004519\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>37_6<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2018\/37_6.jpg\" alt=\"R004517\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>37_7<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2018\/37_7.jpg\" alt=\"R004525\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>37_8<\/strong><br \/>\nOur colleague Ralph, a German lawyer who has been at the office for many years, is leaving us for a job at the European Commission in Brussels. One afternoon he invited us all to a farewell drink in our kitchen\/munching\/drinking area.
