A bitch called Dave


At around 19.00 last night I made a phone call and received both good news and bad news. The bad news was that we were expected to be at our hosts at exactly that moment (so we were already late) and the good news was that there was curry on the menu. Not just any old curry, this was a Languedoc curry (with apologies to M&S), the best curry you'll eat anywhere in France and right here on our doorstep. Unfortunately this isn't a restaurant, you'll find this delight at Carolina and Steve's place about 30 minutes away from here. I thought that Jan could cook good curry but this was much, much better. Subtly spiced lamb, chicken and pork curries with beautiful rice, accompanied by the best tarka dahl ever, justa lika mamma (listen here Pinocchio, your mother has never cooked a curry in her life - Ed) wouda lika to make. Thanks guys an excellent evening.

If there is only one common denominator amongst all the friends that we have met and eaten with over the last week, then it has to be that, not only are they very nice people, but they are also dog lovers. Last night was no exception. From left to right above, Aicha (aka Dave - don't ask), Yana and Rolf.

What on earth do they fed the one on the right on?! Obviously something different from the other two dogs!

They could find a market for it amongst all the bald men of the world me thinks.....

I know, Rolfi looks huge but he is only about 35 kgs and absolutely gorgeous. His sitting position and thick coat make him look like the lion king!!
We feed them all the same food. (well, senior for one, joint-pain-friendly for the other and so on...). And I'm affraid the bald men will have to carry on being bald, my babies' hair will never be for sale! :o)
