I do actually have a review that just needs proof reading and photos taken, however due to a number of upcoming events I am organising I will not have time to post today. Hopefully it will be up on Sunday.

Benefits of Blotting Paper

musings

I wonder how many of us have blotting paper. Personally I’ve had an ink blotter with paper since I was a school kid, however many in our hobby do not. So why this post. Well from my daily carry write ups you will know that a Midori Traveller Passport Journal accompanies me most the time I am out of the house, plus a Midori Traveller Journal sits in my travel or work bags. I detail the pens held in their loops, but not what else is attached.

I’ve been quiet for much of this festive period, but I would like to wish every one a Happy New Year for this evening (or if you are in Oceania, the evening just ending).

It’s been a busy week for me real life wise and next will be worse. There may be an ink post this Wednesday, however there will not be a proper post today or next Friday.

Friday post may be delayed a week

I have actually written and proof read a piece for tomorrow and just have the photos to do. Problem is my NAS died a few days back. Not the biggest issue in itself as everything is backed up, however it’s replacement arrives tomorrow (Friday). Thing is once it arrives I need to get the new one set up and data (including copies of all my photos) restored and so this will be my priority.

Ink Review, musings

It’s Friday and I’m yet to post an article or review. Thing is I’ve been rather busy recently, though much related to another hobby of mine, and have so far driven over 600 miles this week (which in the UK is a long way, yes I know in Australia that can be just visiting your neighbour …). Net result is I’ve been struggling for free time.

Chinese New Year, Fireworks

OK I normally leave my welcoming of the new Lunar year to the common social media networks (Facebook) and text messages to friends, however this year I have finally uploaded a video of the annual Chinese New Year firework display in Hong Kong Bay, arguably the best firework display in the work.

I do actually have a review in the works, however a good friend has recently succumbed to cancer with the result of my mind being part else where and part on getting in touch with mutual friends not on social media.

ink, musings

I’m not really an ink collector yet I have managed to amass a few. Part of this was due to trying to find the ‘right’ inks for me before I discovered that in the UK The Writing Desk sold samples (Pure/Niche/Pelikan Pens also do so). It may also sound odd that this area of our hobby is not my scene to those who know me from pen clubs as I actually do enjoy swabbing inks and presently have three Coloring card decks on the go covering around 200 tests.
