Not a spectacular week, certainly nothing exciting like the trip to Liverpool the previous week. But an after-work drink with friends, a lunch with Eri, walks with Mochi and some cloudy skies for a change still made it a nice week.<\/p>\n

\nI start with some photos taken during morning walks with our dog Mochi. A cat watches us from a safe vantage point:

\nIt was a rainy and windy night:
\n\"DSF0325\"<\/p>\n

\nMochi loves walking in the sand:

\nTuesday was another cloudy, rainy and windy day. Very unusual for Alicante, so on the way to work I stopped by the beach to take some pictures. The wind was blowing in from the Mediterranean. Here, looking north towards El Campello:

\nLooking south towards Cabo de las Huertas, a posh part of Alicante:

\nA closer view of the seagulls:
\n\"DSF0329\"<\/p>\n

10_7<\/strong>
\nMy office faces the sea, and normally I have the view of the Mediterranean under a blue sky. But not today:
\n\"DSF0333\"<\/p>\n

\nOn Wednesday after work I joined some people from my old department for a drink in a wine bar in the centre. B\u00c3\u00a9reng\u00c3\u00a8re (French) in conversation with John (Irish):

\nInma talks…:

\nOn Friday I had lunch with my dear friend Eri. This time we went to a place neither one of us had visited before, a Georgian restaurant. Eri is studying the menu:
\n\"DSF0344\"<\/p>\n

\nGeorgian cuisine is amazing, and the country also has the honour of having invented wine; based on archeological evidence wine was produced there 8000 years ago. These were our appetisers:
\n\"DSF0345\"<\/p>\n

10_13<\/strong>
\nThis is my favourite Georgian dish, khinkali<\/em>, a dumpling designed to be eaten hand-held:
\n\"DSF0347\"<\/p>\n

10_14<\/strong>
\nI instructed Eri on the proper technique:
\n\"DSF0349\"<\/p>\n

10_15<\/strong>
\nWe stayed and talked for quite a while:
\n\"DSF0351\"<\/p>\n

10_16<\/strong>
\nFriday night was another night of wind and rain, and the effects were in evidence on Saturday morning, although by then things had calmed down:
\n\"DSF0352\"<\/p>\n

10_17<\/strong>
\nOur beach:
\n\"DSF0353\"<\/p>\n

10_18<\/strong>
\nI let Mochi get closer to the water’s edge this time:
\n\"DSF0359\"<\/p>\n

10_19<\/strong>
\n\"DSF0360\"<\/p>\n

10_20<\/strong>
\nLater on Saturday, I went for my usual bike ride to Agost. The clouds around the village Verdeg\u00c3\u00a1s looked like rain, but I stayed dry:
\n\"1040775\"<\/p>\n

10_21<\/strong>
\nThe cats were out and about in Verdeg\u00c3\u00a1s. This one was watching me warily:
\n\"1040769\"<\/p>\n

10_22<\/strong>
\nThe bench, occupied:
\n\"1040773\"<\/p>\n

10_23<\/strong>
\nWhen I came home, my wife had decreed that Mochi needed a bath after the beach walk, providing my with further photo opportunities:
