So this week&#8217;s blog is about our friends, people from the office and of course the sights I encounter when out on my bicycle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>18_1<\/strong><br \/>\nI started the week with my usual ride on Sunday morning. In Aig\u00c3\u00bces, I stopped to photograph this cat &#8220;guarding&#8221; his house:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2024\/18_1.jpg\" alt=\"1040079\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>18_2<\/strong><br \/>\nIn the afternoon, we had lunch with our friend Eliot, and as always, seared meat was the centrepiece of the meal:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2024\/18_2.jpg\" alt=\"DSF9983\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>18_3<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2024\/18_3.jpg\" alt=\"DSF9996\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>18_4<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2024\/18_4.jpg\" alt=\"DSF9997\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>18_5<\/strong><br \/>\nBalu was very interested in the proceedings:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2024\/18_5.jpg\" alt=\"DSF9992\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>18_6<\/strong><br \/>\nBalu gets love from the women:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2024\/18_6.jpg\" alt=\"DSF0002\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>18_7<\/strong><br \/>\nBalu wants to know what the man is eating:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2024\/18_7.jpg\" alt=\"DSF0006\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>18_8<\/strong><br \/>\nBalu monitors the situation at the table:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2024\/18_8.jpg\" alt=\"DSF0009\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>18_9<\/strong><br \/>\nOn Tuesday morning, the light over El Campello during my morning bike ride was so nice that I had to stop and take a picture:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2024\/18_9.jpg\" alt=\"1040084\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>18_10<\/strong><br \/>\nAt the office, we had the &#8220;Last Tuesday of the Month&#8221; drink. We used to do it on the last Friday of each month, but because so many people telework on Fridays, we have recently decided to move it to the last Tuesday. The change was suggested by our new director Patricia, who hates to miss out on events like this:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2024\/18_10.jpg\" alt=\"DSF0017\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>18_11<\/strong><br \/>\nAs usual, I took advantage of the opportunity to photograph my co-workers, like Blanca and Livia here:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2024\/18_11.jpg\" alt=\"DSF0018\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>18_12<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2024\/18_12.jpg\" alt=\"DSF0020\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>18_13<\/strong><br \/>\nAnne-Sophie and our French trainee Laura:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2024\/18_13.jpg\" alt=\"DSF0021\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>18_14<\/strong><br \/>\nMy trainee Romy, always a willing &#8220;victim&#8221;, speaking with V\u00c3\u00a9ronique:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2024\/18_14.jpg\" alt=\"DSF0023\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>18_15<\/strong><br \/>\nTwo of my favourite people, Eri and Carolina:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2024\/18_15.jpg\" alt=\"DSF0024\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>18_16<\/strong><br \/>\nAnd finally, my French colleague Bereng\u00c3\u00a8re, serving herself some Polish Riesling that I had brought, in a beer glass.
