Thought I really ought to post some plans as visiting family and meeting friends will throw an already lazy schedule out of sync.

This is always a very busy time of year for me due to my other major hobby. Presently creating over a dozen documents, some of which require research, and all need printing. The net result is, while I am a third to half way through the creation of a pen review (before photos) I will not get a chance to complete it until mid next week, so hopefully it will be next Friday’s post.

For those unaware, tomorrow is the Autumn London Pen Show at the Hammersmith Novotel and on this occasion I will hopefully be making money rather than spending it. Well still losing money as all the pens I will be trying to sell are at a price below what I paid for them. Let’s be honest, the vast majority of fountain pens, even from expensive brands, lose money as soon as you pay for them.

I’ve been a bit slow with posting recently. Now I have been busy, but there has also been a lazy streak as well. Mea culpe.

I know I said I would try and get the photos done for my draft review, however I have spent the last week up north looking after/helping my mother. This was all preplanned and I did have pens with me, however not the loaned one.

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.

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).
