How The Tattooing Began Speaking of tattoos, I need to steal some handwriting for a specific phrase. Also I'm starting work again at 9.30 on Monday morning, same place as last time. Anyone who therefore fancies dining with me after 5pm at Mamsuka on weekdays is welcome, because I intend to abuse the dicks out of that delicious place.
In the Geschichtedorf Club, no one is ever certain which season will fall when the sun rises. On some nights snow flakes successfully fall all the way through the maze of cracks and crumbling architecture down into the tabled area, only to melt in someone's wine; on others it is sweltering and every scrap of paper is put into use as an inelegant hand-held fan.
