Yesterday was a gorgeous sunny and relatively warm day. We took full advantage of it by inviting friends to lunch and eating outside in the backyard. Our first outdoor meal of 2011! Even Piedina, the dog, had a smile on her face.
We have all been facing various troubles recently: minor health complaints, family issues, you know, that other stuff life is also made of, although we try our best to forget. A few hours of chatting, eating good food and drinking some fine local red wine was just what the doctor ordered.
As you can see, there was a lot to eat and drink, but we had no problem making short work of it.
Piedina was happy to be cuddled and snooze in the sun.
I took the opportunity to try to figure out the camera option on my new smartphone. I'm afraid the phone is much smarter than me. I just keep poking at it, though, to see what will happen. Am I the only one who finds today's instruction manuals somewhat less than helpful? I guess I've just got to get my intuitive skills up to speed. My kids have no problems with new technology, put anything in their hands and five minutes later they know how to use it to send guided missiles to bomb the school or write them electronic notes excusing them from not doing their homework...

At last, time for a nap...oops, spoke too soon...dive-bombed by a blood-thirsty 11-year-old wanna-be vampire!

Oh how right you are this welcome dose of vitamin D is just what we all need to brush away all those winter blues, ailments, moans and groans.
Yes technical stuff beats me as well, problem is I no longer have children at home to explain it to me!
Have a good week.
I think I need to take orders from your doctor :)
It's amazing how quickly it has warmed up recently! I'm loving it, though it might put a crimp in our plans to go play in the snow next weekend on Etna...
