anyway, i've also got some photos to share from our recent trip to greece, but they are going to have to wait until i've put up some of my venice snaps, so here goes...
we went in july for brian's 60th - i know, it's amazing he's still capable of rememebring when his birthday is, isn't it? - and arrived at festival time, hence the paper lanterns hanging outside our hotel which, touchingly, brian thought were here in his honour...
normally we go to venice when it's freezing cold (don't forget those promised ear-muffs, gill) but this time we went in the summer which was lovely as there were lots of flowers alongside the canals. here i am, for example, up to my armpits in geraniums....
we also went - as you may have seen - to an every-other-year-art-festival-thingy where i found this rather comfy chair. of course, i'd absolutely no idea that there was a rather naughty picture hanging on the wall behind...
a rather less comfortable experience was my attempt at be-post sitting in our bedroom at hotel ala which was pretty eye-watering, i can tell you...
i also hung out for a while on this extraordinary knocker on the front door of the police headquarters in saint mark's square...
which reminds me of some goats i saw in greece... you may get to see my greek photos sometime within the next five years depending how many more tv interviews brian does about teddy-bears!

Thanks for sharing your Venice pics with us, Buttons.
Are you perhaps a little miffed that Brian didn't take you with him to the BBC Studio - or was it too early for you?
buttons replies...
i didn't know anything about it!
first i heard was when buttons hippo (you remember him?) sent a photo of himself sitting in front of the telly watching brian on the box!
miffed? yes, sharon, you could put it like that!!!
Surely it's worth being a bit miffed so Brian can make some money to take you to Venice and Greece and all those other interesting places? Some of us never get taken anywhere.
SharonM, It was very good to see Brian on the TV. I can imagine that if Buttons R had been there he might have tried to muscle in on the interview and think how embarassing that would have been...
buttons replies...
if i had been invited to take part in the interview, i would have asked brian why he was spending his time talking about somebody else's book about a stuffed teddy-bear when he could be writing a book about me!!!
It has been suggested, Buttons - it has been suggested!
Congratulations!!, your relative (cousin perhaps?) Jenson Button is the new F1 Champion... of course next year the champion will be other pilot, sorry... but you must enjoy with the family this hapinness.
Eudora, You should know that cousin Jenson is from my branch of the Buttons family. The hippos have always been faster (and better looking) than the rabbits.
buttons replies...
sorry? faster...? better looking...? ha!
You tell him, Buttons! You're certainly smarter than the average Buttons for a start.
