My son has taken up a mild form of bodybuilding, one that involves only exercise, lifting, and an extremely controlled diet. The results are visible:

Crossed legs at the office. I originally did not think much of the picture, until one of the women who appears in it pointed out the symmetry of the crossed legs:

Later Friday night, I attended a CD launch event at a bar in the harbour of Alicante. The son of one of my colleagues, Wilma, who can best be described as a struggling artist but with lots of support from his family, has published his first album, with the title “Este sueño de cantar”. Here is the proud mother at the launch party (on the left):

Saturday morning I was at Alicante airport, waiting for my sister and brother-in-law to arrive from Poland. Their flight was delayed, so while waiting, of course I looked around me for picture opportunities.
