Accordingly, the pictures are my usual slices of life. <\/p>\n<p><strong>45_1<\/strong><br \/>\nSunday afternoon we often go down to a bar on the beach, where local musicians play from 5 to 7. This particular afternoon, the setting sun was absolutely magic, illuminating the far coast and Benidorm:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2011\/45_1.jpg\" alt=\"IGP3422\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>45_2<\/strong><br \/>\nSame scene, with a longer lens:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2011\/45_2.jpg\" alt=\"IGP3425\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>45_3<\/strong><br \/>\nOne of the musicians at the Game Caf\u00c3\u0192\u00c2\u00a9 this Sunday was Pierre, who works at my office. His wife Iris records him on her iPad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2011\/45_3.jpg\" alt=\"IGP3428\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>45_4<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is where I went for lunch with some friends from work on Thursday. The place is called Adolfo&#8217;s Bodega, a real neighbourhood bar where there is no menu&#8211;you simply eat what was cooked that day:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2011\/45_4.jpg\" alt=\"IGP3446\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>45_5<\/strong><br \/>\nThe proprietor, Victor, has a passionate interest in Spain&#8217;s early medieval history and has just written and published his first novel, set in Visigothic Spain in the 8th century. Here he signs my copy:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2011\/45_5.jpg\" alt=\"IGP3445\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>45_6<\/strong><br \/>\nFor once, a picture of me:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2011\/45_6.jpg\" alt=\"IGP3449\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>45_7<\/strong><br \/>\nBack at the office, I continued my project of documenting Beatrice&#8217;s growth. She has three weeks to go:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2011\/45_7.jpg\" alt=\"IGP3453\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>45_8<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is Mark, a Scottish co-worker and friend (he actually took the picture of me above). His wife is opening a new shop in our neighbourhood, and they are spending most of their free time getting the new place set up:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2011\/45_8.jpg\" alt=\"IGP3461\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>45_9<\/strong><br \/>\nThe lady talking to the baby is Mark&#8217;s mother-in-law. I am not sure who the baby belongs to:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2011\/45_9.jpg\" alt=\"IGP3459\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>45_10<\/strong><br \/>\nA friend or relative helping out:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2011\/45_10.jpg\" alt=\"IGP3458\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>45_11<\/strong><br \/>\nFinally, on Saturday night, we went to eat in one of the local sushi places with a conveyor belt. Having been to Japan and Taiwan, I fully realise that this is not &#8220;genuine&#8221; food but on a Saturday night when you don&#8217;t feel like cooking it will do just fine. And sometimes one can snap a picture of a fellow restaurant guest:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2011\/45_11.jpg\" alt=\"IGP3462\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After all my recent travels, this week was low-key, just work and a weeekend right here at home in Alicante.
