I love having my hair washed! One of my favorite movies is Out of Africa. There's a scene where Robert Redford washes Meryl Streep's hair. I swoon! Every time!
OMG…that movie…that scene. IYKYK..😉

I got on an Isak Dinesen (Baroness Karen von Blixen) kick a couple of years ago. Had just introduced SWMBO to the movie (how has an English LIt major not seen this?!) and thought…I need to read the book! So I did a deep dive.

Not just with Out of Africa but then because I’m a geek, nabbed a biography on Denys Finch-Hatton, (the Redford character in the movie) Too Close To The Sun (Sara Wheeler), and that led me to Beryl Markham’s (she is the character in the book who was the Tomboy breaking horses…forget her name in the movie but they couldn’t use Beryl’s real name due to legal issues) book West With the Night.

All three books were great reads and paint an amazing picture of post WW1 Africa.

Well, birthday party was a success. Fresh flounder and all the fixuns…today, they’re having a Bonsai viewing of professionally done plants at our local arboretum. We had a big storm roll through last night so if it isn’t rained out, headed that way.
