\nOne evening we went to a beach bar, where a band which includes my daughter’s chemistry teacher was performing. But not everyone could go inside:

This was the week when autumn really arrived in Alicante, with temperatures barely touching 20C during the afternoon, and rain all day Saturday. But as I write this, it is Sunday morning and the sun is shining again.

\nThe big dog had some entertainment, though:

\nMeanwhile, inside the bar some aging rockers were playing. The grey-haired guy on the left is Mr. Henderson, a chemistry teacher at the European School here:

\nThe beach was deserted and the moon was full:

\nThursday morning we had a project quality assurance workshop. In order to get good and focused attendance, we held the event at a hotel and included lunch. Here is Nellie, the leader of the workshop. She works in my department. Her real name is Nilofar, as her origin is Iranian, but her hometown is Vienna:

\nWorkshop is over, and we are enjoying lunch:

\nAll that good stuff was accompanied by a nice bottle from our wine cellar:

\nMy daughter’s verdict was highly positive:

\nOf course, Cheeta also got a serving. Here she is, waiting for the GO signal:

\nThis is Playa Muchavista. I had noticed this painted stone and was wondering whether it was painted by gay activists or local Romanians. But neither explanation fit; the gay flag contains more colours, and the Romanian flag has vertical, not horizontal, stripes. Then I realised that this is the Spanish flag, but without the royal emblem in the middle. It was the Republican flag during the 1930s, and is still sometimes used by left wing activists:

\nA picture from walking the dog. Some people think it really is winter, and dress their dogs even if the temperature is quite pleasant. The puppy really wanted to play:

\nSaturday night, I went downtown with my daughter to do some shopping. It had been raining all day, but people were still out in force:

\nOne family owns 3 roasted chestnut stands which are put up every winter outside the huge Corte Ingl\u00c3\u0192\u00c2\u00a9s department store. This is the son or son-in-law:
