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).

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.

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.
