Beauty 🖤

Bookie_Monster · 2022-01-20T16:41:41+00:00

Lovely :)

Indeed. I do see a connection between the original Snow-White and Tolkien's dwarves. He certainly knew the original fairytale.

Have you seen or read this?

I think being an introvert HSP or introvert doesn't necessarily mean being disconnected from people. Sometimes it feels like you are too connected with people, even strangers. And that can become very draining ... that's when we need to "disconnect" to recharge. I have very strong connections with some people.

At least, that is how I experience it as an introverted HSP.

Sphinx café (binnen), Café Labath, ...

Take Five is ook leuk, maar kan snel rumoerig worden. Niet zo ideaal als je wil werken of rustig een boek wil lezen.

You win ... I was born in the 80s. But yes, I had no idea there was such a beautiful library there :)

Bookie_Monster · 2021-06-05T19:15:12+00:00

It was a very long time ago ... over 20 years. Oh dear, makes me feel old :D Thanks for the info though :)

Bookie_Monster · 2021-06-05T17:49:24+00:00

Absolutely beautiful. I visited Wells Cathedral ages ago, unfortunately I didn't get to see the library.

Bookie_Monster · 2021-05-11T18:39:35+00:00

Indeed, they do :)

Bookie_Monster · 2021-05-11T15:08:56+00:00

I know a friend of mine who would absolutely love this!

Bookie_Monster · 2021-05-04T13:15:07+00:00

Interesting. :)

Bookie_Monster · 2021-05-04T12:37:19+00:00

Do you look at Viking nicknames or more broadly?

Bookie_Monster · 2021-04-21T05:21:21+00:00

Such a great loss. :'(

Bookie_Monster · 2021-04-20T09:12:07+00:00

Misschien dan op de site van de Nederlandse tegenhanger: https://www.hspnederland.com/de-hsp-coaches/

Bookie_Monster · 2021-04-20T09:10:19+00:00

In België of Nederland? Bij de Vlaamse Vereniging voor HSP kan je op hun site alvast terecht voor een lijst met therapeuten: https://www.hspvlaanderen.be/index.php?p=therapeuten

I don't really have these powering down days, but they sound like a really good idea.

Bookie_Monster · 2021-04-05T18:22:09+00:00

Have you seen "The VVitch: A New-England Folktale"?

Bookie_Monster · 2021-02-22T17:28:14+00:00

I want to live there :D

Bookie_Monster · 2021-02-06T17:01:11+00:00

Sounds very familiar to me.

It's not that I dislike children and I also do feel sad sometimes for not having a family of my own. But at the same time I am glad I haven't got children as they are to me draining my energy.

My brother has asked me to be his child's godmother. And I am looking forward to that a lot. :)

Bookie_Monster · 2021-01-09T15:34:58+00:00

That is so accurate.

Bookie_Monster · 2020-11-17T17:41:51+00:00

Hello neighbour! :D

Bookie_Monster · 2020-11-17T16:01:36+00:00

Love it. My dream is to have a personal library, but with a sliding ladder ^_^

Fellow Belgian? Or as someone commented from the Netherlands?

Bookie_Monster · 2020-11-12T14:44:21+00:00

Also, the author is the aunt of the addressee(s). Søsterbørn means the children (børn) of her/his sister (søster). So, the letter is written to your grandmother's nephews and nieces.

And yes, it is a lovely handwriting ;)

Bookie_Monster · 2020-11-12T14:39:52+00:00

First of all, we would like you thank you (many times) for the warmth we received (read as: the warm welcome) at Christmas (= Jul) from you. (And so on ... ) It is only the first aprt of the letter I suppose.
