<\/p>\n43_2<\/strong> 43_3<\/strong> One sign of winter is that the beach bar Game Caf\u00c3\u0192\u00c2\u00a9 has restarted its Sunday afternoon music jams. For the next few months it will be a fixed part of our Sunday ritual to spend a couple of hours there, partly because of the nice ambience and partly because we know many of the people involved.<\/p>\n 43_4<\/strong> 43_5<\/strong> 43_6<\/strong> 43_7<\/strong> 43_8<\/strong> 43_9<\/strong> 43_10<\/strong> On Friday morning, I was told to go to the 4th floor of our building (my office is on the top, 5th, floor) because something amusing was going to take place. We are in the process of refurbishing the building, floor by floor. The 4th floor is now completely gutted, and the guy in charge of the project allowed an indoor football game to take place in these somewhat non-traditional surroundings.<\/p>\n 43_11<\/strong> 43_12<\/strong> 43_13<\/strong> 43_14<\/strong> 43_15<\/strong> 43_16<\/strong> 43_17<\/strong> 43_18<\/strong> 43_19<\/strong> Finally, a sequence of three dog pictures taken on a miserable rainy Saturday morning. I could not take my dog for a walk, as she hates rain, so instead I drove to a nearby supermarket to buy the fresh bread for breakfast. When I pulled up, I saw this dog waiting for its human outside the shop. <\/p>\n 43_20<\/strong> 43_21<\/strong> 43_22<\/strong> And so ended another week in Alicante.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Autumn is well and truly here in Alicante.

\nDark clouds over Avenida Vicente Ramos, the main thoroughfare of our neighbourhood:
\n![\"DSF0881\"](\"uploads\/2011\/43_2.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nA nice sunrise in more or less the same place as the previous picture:
\n![\"DSF0887\"](\"uploads\/2011\/43_3.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nThis is actually my daughter’s chemistry teacher at the European School of Alicante:
\n![\"IGP3340\"](\"uploads\/2011\/43_4.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nThe singer:
\n![\"IGP3343\"](\"uploads\/2011\/43_5.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nHe also plays a mean guitar:
\n![\"IGP3349\"](\"uploads\/2011\/43_6.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nHarmonica with feeling:
\n![\"IGP3352\"](\"uploads\/2011\/43_7.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nThe Keyboard Lady:
\n![\"IGP3350\"](\"uploads\/2011\/43_8.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nI like to photograph the music in B&W, but sometimes a colour picture makes the cut:
\n![\"IGP3346\"](\"uploads\/2011\/43_9.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nOn Thursday evening we had our monthly wine tasting at the office, this time studying wines from Navarra:
\n![\"IGP3366\"](\"uploads\/2011\/43_10.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nThe event will appear on our Intranet, so we had both a photographer and a videographer present. Here, pre-game interviews are being conducted. It is all very serious:
\n![\"DSF0890\"](\"uploads\/2011\/43_11.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nThe action begins:
\n![\"DSF0898\"](\"uploads\/2011\/43_12.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nA closer view of the action:
\n![\"DSF0904\"](\"uploads\/2011\/43_13.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nA small but enthusiastic group of spectators looked on:
\n![\"DSF0903\"](\"uploads\/2011\/43_14.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nGoalmouth action. By coincidence, both goalies were German:
\n![\"DSF0912\"](\"uploads\/2011\/43_15.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nChristoph the goalie with the ball. In real life he is an IP lawyer:
\n![\"DSF0914\"](\"uploads\/2011\/43_16.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nGame over, a joint team picture is taken. The crew is truly international, reflecting our office. In the first row are players from Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, Portugal and some which I don’t even know:
\n![\"DSF0916\"](\"uploads\/2011\/43_17.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nAnd of course, post-game interviews were conducted as well:
\n![\"DSF0918\"](\"uploads\/2011\/43_18.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nFriday evening we went to a traditional bar near (but not on) the beach. It was a first visit for both of us, but the tapas turned out to be very nice. The bartender insisted on posing for me:
\n![\"DSF0924\"](\"uploads\/2011\/43_19.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nThe dog looked intently into the supermarket, waiting for her human:
\n![\"DSF0930\"](\"uploads\/2011\/43_20.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nI merited a quick glance…:
\n![\"DSF0931\"](\"uploads\/2011\/43_21.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\n…but then the dog went back to looking for the master. A picture of devotion and patience:
