San Remo for me

Dave and Alanea took me to San Remo in Italy on Friday until Saturday.  It was very nice and we ate a lot of food.  San Remo is an easy drive Dave says.  The total round trip was only about 250 kms.  I like going because I get to walk everywhere and I went to the home of the Nobel prize guy, that's me and Dave at the house.  That was interesting.  We saw a big Russian church, there is a lot of Russian influence in San Remo.  There was a big bike race going on so Dave was quite interested but worried about the speed of the racers with dogs and kids running around.  I was on my leash eating gelato with Alanea. On the way home we stopped in Bordeghera just before entering France.  We ate lunch and bought some big jugs of wine.  Spring must be coming soon but it is cool outside.

Mid January laziness

As January drags on my walking outside is later in the day when it gets warmer.  It is funny weather here because some days it is 15 degrees in the morning and other days it is minus 4.  The sun is getting warmer and it will soon be February.  Every year is different.  I like February because it means new life here is the south of France.  Things start to grow but not me, Alanea says I am fatter.  Alanea took a few photos today when we were out walking.  Dave is back to his normal dorky self whatever that means and Alanea is busy blogging stuff on Linkedin.  It is nice here but humid, I let my hair grow like Ringo when it is colder.  Dave and Alanea's fitness club is having it 1st anniversary today and Dave might go check out the cup cakes LOL, if Alanea goes I will go too.  Alanea went to the live simulcast of the Opera last night with a nice lady named Jehan.  Dave introduced them, she is a neighbour and a Chemical Engineer.  The Opera was called The Merry Widow but Dave said The Hairy Widow and Alanea gave him heck.  That Dave will never learn to shut the heck up.  If you want to know something let me know.  I wish Uncle George would come here.

New Year 2015

We stayed home for New Years eve but our neighbours Auntie Francoise and Uncle Heinz invited me (and Dave & Alanea too) for dinner on Tuesday before New Years eve, they live in Switerland but have a nice house next to me.  We went for a nice walk to the vineyard Domaine des Planes and were surprised that Mimosa flowers were blooming on the trees.  We walked on the beach one day and watched the surfers so it has been pretty good.  I like walking but I think that I am having some trouble hearing as good as when I was younger.  Dave carries me when I get tired but most of the time I walk.  Uncle Brad is coming to visit on April 3 for 2 days.  Alanea bought a Gallette du Roi.  It is a round cake with a prize inside.  Uncle Heinz got the prize.  Today is January 3 2015.  I am looking forward to having a wonderful year.
