Thank you Katja for sending me the lovely short stories by Karen Blixen. I especially enjoyed the story of Babette‘s feast and The Tempests. A wonderful book!

Kalalalatja I‘m so glad you liked it! ❤️ 5y

CarolynM I'm envious - I can't wait to be able to get a pedicure again! 5y

BarbaraBB @CarolynM I‘m surprised they haven‘t opened yet in Australia. It‘s strange how all countries have different approaches of dealing with corona. 5y

CarolynM They probably have in some states. Victoria is taking a very cautious approach to lifting restrictions (with good reason as new cases are still being identified). We might have further easing from 1 June. 5y

BarbaraBB @CarolynM We are having a further easing from June too. I am looking forward to it, yet is is exciting how things will turn out. Numbers are decreasing rapidly even though we live pretty close here 🤞🏽. Wish you the best, stay safe ❤️ 5y

BarbaraBB @Kalalalatja I really did, she writes very sparsely if you know what I mean, not a word too much. 💕 (edited) 5y

LeahBergen I adore the film of Babette‘s Feast! Have you seen it? 5y

BarbaraBB @LeahBergen No! I didn‘t know there is a film. But I can imagine it must be great, with this dinner she‘s cooking! 5y

Anecdotes of destiny | Isak Dinesen

Congratulations on a fun milestone @CSeydel. Thanks for the chance to win! #12345

My bookish anecdote: when I was 10, I read Gone with the Wind for the first time. I stayed up all night reading it under the covers with a flashlight, way past my bedtime. I got caught because I was sobbing so loudly I woke up my mom at 3am.
My mom would also catch me reading in the closet when I was suppose to be doing chores.

Babette's Feast and Other Stories | Isak Dinesen, Karen Blixen

Every phrases, every words and in Babette's Feast, in particular, every dishes are chosen for a purpose. Reading Blixen compares for me to watching a master lace maker creating a piece right before your eyes. What I liked best about Babette is her 'inébranlable' confidence in herself, in her art, in her talent. #emojinov ?
