@MatildaBookshop@AllenAndUnwin I love this book, but also can't help thinking of the cantankerous, egotistical 'Larry' from his brother's book My Family and Other Animals as I read it. I'm never quite able to take Lawrence Durrell seriously.
@BrigidWD No, I wish it was paid. Much, much worse. I did this voluntarily, in cheapest seats, in my early 20s with an insufferable boyfriend. What the hell was I thinking?
@EmilyGale @katemildenhall This! My husband and I have it and we've just decided to throw our luck in together with the whole family. It's a hard decision to make. Note that none of our kids have got it although they are hugging us, hanging out. Vaccines? Maybe they've had it mildly before? Not sure why.
@Thinkspo1 How can anyone justify assault? They teach this stuff to preschoolers. 1. You don't like what someone said, so you are allowed to be angry. Feel your feelings. 2. You're not allowed to hit them.
