Week 05: moving and tapas

Filed under: — Administrator @ 07:51

Last week was a busy one for us, so there are a lot of pictures. We got our things delivered from the Netherlands, I was out drinking and eating tapas, and of course in the meantime there was some time for work too…

Main
Saturday morning–the moving van from the Netherlands has arrived:
1260038


The alternates
:

Alternate 1
The movers work hard, here re-assembling our piano:
1260070

Alternate 2
A well-deserved break. The guy in the truck is the Dutch driver, the other guy is Spanish, but thanks to a modicum of English, they manage to laugh and work together:
1260048

Alternate 3
Almost done–one of my most important possessions emerges:
1260065

Alternate 4
Sunday morning I took the motorcycle out for a spin for the first time since September, riding to the beach at El Campello, a bit north of here:
1270081

Alternate 5
Another picture from the walk on the beach:
1270079

The next four pictures are of my daughter Monica. One of my tasks every weekday morning is to wake her up and drive her to school. It is not always easy…

Alternate 6
First step: initial signs of life:
1310120

Alternate 7
Now some progress, she is sitting up:
1310123

Alternate 8
A major milestone: the eyes are open:
1310125

Alternate 9
Finally in the bathroom, assessing her hair:
1300108

The last five images are from Friday afternoon/evening, when our department at work held a tapas-hopping event. We left work at 1 p.m. and spent the next several hours going from one tapas bar to another.

Alternate 10
One of the bar on our itinerary:
2010146

Alternate 11
Two of my co-workers in conversation:
2010259

Alternate 12
Conversation continues:
2010261

Alternate 13
One of these girls is Italian, the other Polish, but both are equally exuberant:
2010183

Alternate 14
Finally, in one of the bars, an attractive sight through a forest of beer bellies:
2010158

  1. There are some nice ones here, Nathan. Of course, the best is the last 😉

    Oh, and who would be a daughter of yours?!

  2. Very nice set Nathan. The last one appeals to me most ;-), Just like is does for Chris.

    So your daughter allows you to make photos while she is weaking up? I wouldn’t dare to try that with mine. Waking her up is not “not alway easy” as you state, but “terrible difficult everyday”. My wife has to deal with that most of the time though as I leav home at abou 6:35. Cheers.

  3. OK, by the power vested in me as senior partner in our firm, we are hereby adopting a tapas-hopping Friday afternoon. We don’t have tapas bars, but I’ll bet I can find a good substitute. I liked your image of the single malts, though I have never been able to get on board with Talisker…don’t know why.

  4. So you didnt even drive the bike yourself :-), you wussy ;-). How is the full house, can you handle your woman or do they handle you?

    Life here hasnt changed that much. I still work for bork, but i got them to sell some vpn:ng’s so I made Joyce 2 happy who is our appointed sales-rep. Robin has his birthday within a few days, i might check up on him and the pies :D.

    I will be looking forward to any lunar eclipse pictures you might be taking this night… I am too lazy to get out of bed myself.

    regarding pow6 Alternate 9 is probably Axels new desktop background.

    Take care!
