A short blog for this week by my standards. It was a busy week, and most of the photos are of people around me, and a few taken during my bike rides.

We have an art club at the office, called WeArt, of which I am the treasurer. On Thursday we had the annual general meeting, as required by the rules for social clubs. We have around 40 members, but as is normal in these clubs, only a few showed up for the meeting, the dedicated hard core:

On Friday I had another lens testing session with Eri, this time using an Olympus 1.8/50mm lens on my Panasonic, of course wide open:
