MOUSE-BOAT

After posting that photo of Walt Disney in a gondola earlier today, we spotted - on our way back from the Ospidale - a nasty glass figurine of his Master's Mouse playing gondolier with Minnie as passenger...


Needless to say, this is not a genuine, authorised, copyrighted Disney image - but then, again, this particular piece of 'Genuine Venetian Glass' was very probably made in Taiwan!

As for the invalid: I've got to keep wearing the bandage, keep taking the tablets, keep off food that requires biting or chewing and, as far as possible - and this is a bit of a challenge - keep my trap shut!!

Gelateria Alaska (in Santa Croce) is a bit of a trek from San Marco, but we have a not-bad alternative just down the street who are doing me proud!

As soon as possible in 2009, I'll try and find something 'fitting' for your undewo needs!!

I'm with Jen - and we don't mean a photo of you wearing a pair of underpants to keep your recalcitrant jaw in place.
Seriously, I hope that you can find plenty of tasty liquids and soft food to consume.

Brian - I think you have had enough bad luck in 2008 to have used up your quota for 2009 so maybe next year will be a good one for you. I certainly hope so! In the meantime - enjoy what's left of your holiday as best you can and keep your trap shut! As for David - enjoy the silent serenity while you can!!

Underpants to keep your wayward jaw in place - interesting idea! No eating or talking or I suppose laughing during this season - now that is really tough! Is that why you're blogging so often during your hols?

JEN, LISAH & SUZANNE - Ladies! Does your incorrigability know no bounds?!

ROB - David read the words, "silent serenity" and sorted! I think he muttered "As if..."
