After several tries, I became a civil servant last Friday. I won't start working until September, so I also have holidays! I don't know about other countries, but in Spain it's a great job.

Tomorrow I'm going to a nearby pen shop where they still have 2 milords (old style); one is a collonial (mustard color and rose gold), and the other is teal blue. I have been a customer for several years, and I know they will hold the pens for me for a couple of months.

That will make 5 different milords; not bad. They also have some 360s and ogivas old style, but the milord is my favourite size and shape.

Congrats! A new pen is in order!

There's such a thing as a teal blue Milord?

Might this be Venice blue? Or am I totally off here?

The colour is a greyish blue; don't know about the specific name.

Congratulations on the new gig, Juan. Of course--out of moral imperative--you must snag a new pen in celebration!
