Life, love and technology

I love my life (but not when Alanea is away). I like my cookies but would give them up for a day if Alanea were here, Dave is a dink however his new phone technology is very cool.  He now knows how to take my photo and post it to my blog even though he uses android and his computer is a MAC.  Dave is not very smart so how does he figure this shit out?

Update and apology

It has been several weeks since I updated this blog.  Dave has celebrated his 65th birthday, the sun has started to shine ever day and it is warm not.  Dave is trying to stay busy and says that some days he feels overwhelmed and others he is looking for thing to do.  I am happy except that Alanea is in Canada until April 28th.  It has been suggested that I retire my blog because I am to busy or lazy to update it regularly.  Does that mean that if the olive tree does not have fruit for a year you should dig it up and pitch it in the garage.  I think not.  We will try harder, let me know if you are interested in anything specific.  I have posted a few nice photos.
Dave has a new Samsung Galaxy smart phone and it is much smarter than he is.  The camera is broken and the BlackBerry is 8 years old.  Now that he has figured out how to take pictures with the phone and download them to a mAC from Android we should see more blogs.
The 2nd photo is Alanea's jasmine, she is missing the best blooms.
The 3d photo is me in the new growth on the vines at Domaine des Plane.
Old Dave is doing selfie in the 4th.  Actually Alanea took the photo.
PS
Now that Dave has a new phone Alanea will get an iPhone.

Sunshine, daffodils and me.

The sun is getting warmer and I really like to sit in the sun.  Dave and Alanea take me walking and I won't go inside so Dave has to keep walking.  With the warm sunshine comes the spring flowers.  Alanea has planted lots of stuff but the little daffodils are the first to sprout.  Soon I will go to the beach and run in the sand.  Alanea put a soft cushion out for me on the pink stones.  That was very nice but I can only sit while I can see or hear Alanea.  When she goes upstairs and out of sight I follow her every move.

Spring and the vines

Dave just got back from 4 days in Warsaw Poland were he met a few investment guys and helped a friend.  He took me to Domaine des Planes to buy some wine today and the vines are looking good.  Soon they will be full of new growth.  I will return and post a photo in a few weeks to show you the big difference.

Valentines Day and spring is coming

Dave is going to Poland tomorrow Feb 19 and Alanea is smiling for some reason.  She said that we will eat popcorn and watch shows on TV.  I have a few photos of Valentines Day Champagne and my new friend Lang.  Dave got the trophy at the cycling club annual general meeting for showing up.  Dave will bring some photos of Warsaw home for me to post next week

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.
