Castle

Mosquitos

An Italian publisher threw a lunch party at her castle south of Milan.
We had a terrific lunch and after that we got a tour of the castle.
The publisher said: “In the winter it’s too cold here, in the summer there are too many mosquitoes, in the spring and fall it’s beautiful but then I don’t have time to come here.” Melancholy at a castle is superior melancholy.

I'd like to live in a castle.

What's up with the hats?

I guess it’s one of the discrete pleasures of the Italian bourgeoisie. Are you still in Istanbul?

It's not a hat you need, but a complete restyling of your look. New haircut, new glasses and new clothes. Milan is the perfect spot to do it.

@Mieke
What kind of new style do you recommend?

A sixties, existentialist look. Something that stresses out his slim figure, like the Beatles on the cover of 'A hard days night' or Juliette Greco.

Coen, Bernard
"Lustgefühl" pure and naked when I look at those pictures.
