Friday night relaxation at the German baths with @columnist.bsky.social and @afteriwasdead.bsky.social . Dr Styles reluctantly took a cheesy photo with promises of photoshopping in #baloobear — a classic if I do say so myself !

Oh. One thing I loved about Septime? They had tampons in the bathroom available if needed. I love that. Small touches like that take good to excellent. The service really was top notch.
