To think I should get out more?

[Bousy]

Or at least expand my range of reading material?

Having read 'A Squash and a Squeeze' (Julia Donaldson) zillions of times over recent days, I have become aware of an accommodation problem. The little old lady's room clearly has a larder next to the door, but in the final picture there is just the door and the window, and no larder to be seen. Is she operating in some parallel dimension, a la Dr Who? More importantly, just how U am I to have noticed this?

Well I have "overanalysed" I'll Love You FOrever and Goodbye Mog, yet still cry EVERY time! I recommend wine!

A glass of sherry is certainly helping to put it all in perspective - slightly blurry perspective

Try reading 'Gorilla' by Anthony Browne and puzzling over why the heroine only has a dad... DH and I have spent hours on this!

So glad it's not just me...

You are not being unreasonable (Cos if you are then I am too!!!)

I read "Snail and the Whale" and wondered whether the beached whale would have died before the snail actually got to the blackboard from the beach, and thought how neat the snails writting is.

My grip on reality is getting looser

I can't even reag 'Mog the cat' anymore as I want to hurl the book across the room when they give the burglar a cup of fecking tea.

Portofino - I can't bring myself to read "Goodbye Mog" - it would just be too sad < pathetically wells up just thinking about it>
