In the last week and a half we've done 2 dental appointments, the pediatrician, the ophthalmologist, and 2 appointments with the endodontist. BUT I'm not fighting jet lag and acclimatizing 2 new children to the household, so I'll try to remind myself of that silver lining as I head off to Shriners for 2 more appointments this coming week. grtlyblesdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18386260509307925901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25502633.post-85124921688305344682016-01-29T18:51:15.077-06:002016-01-29T18:51:15.077-06:00So glad you enjoyed hearing this.

We assumed they all said Timbuktu - until we visited friends in Wales/Cymru in the 1990s and found their copy ended "even in Australia". <br />I am rereading Tove Jansson's Moomintroll books. I've always loved them though am noticing they are rather apocalyptic - certainly feature climate change! Do your folk like them?<br />JeanJayviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358384803437366118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25502633.post-26719787657378859502016-01-29T09:36:30.855-06:002016-01-29T09:36:30.855-06:00Jean -- You don't know how happy this makes me...Jean -- You don't know how happy this makes me to hear about the Australian version of Alexander. Over the years I and many of my children have wondered out loud if the Australian copies of the book use Australia, since that wouldn't make much sense. Timbuktu is perfect. Thank you so much for sharing!! I can't wait to tell some of the my children.<br /><br />ethecurrysevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08932092243753160814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25502633.post-84302757514923108802016-01-29T07:32:12.072-06:002016-01-29T07:32:12.072-06:00I think that in the US your books of "Alexand...I think that in the US your books of "Alexander's terrible horrible very bad day" say "some days are like that, even in Australia?" They sure are, but our copies say "some days are like that, even in Timbuktu". I wonder what they say in Timbuktu? I hope this is a cheering thought somehow. <br />I love reading your blog (though only have a jayvue Instagram and Jayview Redbubble site myself). But I have just finally given up on trying to get my Word Press comments to work and have reset my lost Google password, so apologies for mostly "lurking".
