bunny-eater

here i am tucking into some chocolate bunnies that i got for easter...

between mouthfuls, i have vague worries about whether i am becoming a cannibal...?

birthday bunny

yesterday, as some of you may know, was my birthday (don't ask how many years, I am very bad at counting) and I thought you might like to see a couple of photos of my visit to hippolyta, who gave me a a box of very yummy chocolate carrots...


as you can see h and i enjoyed some quality face time (as they say these days) while the others listened to some boring old programme by brian on the radio...

hoppiness is...

...ginger biscuit bunnies!

hoppy easter

"will you send a dinghy, please?"

while waiting for the 'move' to get completed, i've been passing the time working on what i think might be the perfect vehicle for making a film debut: the wicker rabbit...


all i need to do now is convince sir christopher lee to sign the contract.

"i think i could turn and live with animals. they are so placid and self-contained. they do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins. they do not make me sick discussing their duty to god. not one of them kneels to another or to his own kind that lived thousands of years ago. not one of them is respectable or unhappy, all over the earth."

from the heart

roger and sheila came over yesterday to help brian and david with their book-packing (i did mine age's ago: the tale of peter rabbit, the adventurers of br'er rabbit and, obviously, watership down) and they bought me a mysterious package from 'a secret admirer'! ;)

...thanks hippolyta!

sheila said you made them yourself. not just beautiful but talented: in my experience, a rare combination in a hippo!

swalk

it's valentine's day and a young rabbit's fancy lightly turn to thoughts of love...

bird-brained

a terrifying memory from last year that I have been too traumatised about to blog before now: david took me bird-of-prey-watching and, in a moment of madness, seemed to be contemplating using me as a lure for that evil, hawk-eyed creature...


so, obviously, i skedaddled...

dozy outing

david and brian took me to the theatre on new year's day...


but the show took so long to start...


that i eventually fell asleep waiting...

ears cheers to the new year!

hoping you have
a hippity-hoppity
2012

gingering up christmas

i had some nice seasonal goodies from friends and admirers: chocs from sharon while hippolyta and the ascot hippos kindly sent me these ginger bears (that's bears not beers) for christmas.

there were so many of them to begin with that i felt as if i was in gulliver's travels – until, that is, brian started eating them!!

it's christmas day...

...so make it a really good day!

one of the things in the photo below is not a Christmas tree decoration: can you spot him?

let it snow, man!

a hoppy christmas
to all my readers!

precious moments

he seemed quite nice really, not all the way he acts in the movies....

dreamtime

i spent a rather jolly day last saturday visiting with hippolyta...

but back home, later that night, i woke in a sweat having had a really strange dream...

there was organ music and my cousin buttons hippo was telling me that he was my best man and had the ring safe and sound and there was hippolyta by my side and a voice saying, do you, buttons, take this hippo...?

i must have eaten a dodgy carrot...

frank'n'bunny

hoping you have a horrendously horrid halloween!

of course, in case you wondered, that isn't really frankenstein's monster, whereas, this really is you-know-who...

lucky me!

never let it be said that brian didn't look after me! in fact he gives me a treat every now and again – like this bag of good luck buttons he bought me in new zealand (the green thing on the packet is, apparently, a lucky tiki); they weren't actually quite as exciting as i'd hoped - chocolate buttons covered in hundreds-and-thousands.

still, chocolate is chocolate...

bun voyage

brian's planning on flying home - i've been thinking about returning via a rather more exciting route...

bored bunny

i am so bored: brian is not well (he says) and i'm stuck in a hotel with no view out of the window other than other people's hotel rooms and no escape! this photo shows me having a much better time on my last visit: as you can see, the women down here are big!

off we go again

life is weird: months go by when practically nothing even remotely interesting happens and then suddenly it is one ceaseless whirl of activity!

scarcely back from our greek odyssey and it's time to pack my bags again in preparation for a trip to new zealand where brian (he tells me) is going to be studying the habits of hobbits – whatever they are!

not sure when i will be able to blog, but i will report my adventures on my return, if not before...

cat-nap

i thought my stories of life on a greek island were pretty riveting, but zebedee could (as you can see) scarcely keep his eyes open! cats!
