I'm in! I like the idea of everyone using their own pens, it will be interesting to see what everyone uses.

Sorry for my absence...I was busy holidaying in Vanuatu as Yuki so rightfully mentioned. It was a lovely 29 degrees there and be-au-ti-ful.

 

How's this going to work? Should I just pull out a Rhodia cahier and start writing something and mail it to the next person? Alternatively, I'm happy to donate a square grid Moleskine book but I'm not sure if everyone uses grid paper.

I'm happy to join!

 

I'm out west, 350kms up the coast from Perth and it is now raining (at least the farmers will be happy).

 

Whatever you all agree to is fine with me. Just tell me who I should send my address to.

 

Thanks and cheers,

 

Mark.

hi Everyone!

 

I'm glad you agreed to my suggestion of using our own pens. I was dreading being the messy one who ruined this journal by not cleaning the group pen enough and relying too much on the gentle treatment with which Australia Post handles our parcels!

 

Feiye, lucky you escaping to a tropical island with French cuisine!

 

Rhodia, from all reports, would suit any pen, whereas Moleskines seem a bit more unreliable, but I've never tried the latter.

 

Cheers from Miranda in Geelong, Vic

Rhodia sounds good =). I can meet up with you for coffee and save you the postage cost if you'd prefer that.

Hi all

 

Maybe the Sydney folks can get together for the coffee? I saw feiye's handwriting on her site and want to see the pens that wrote :-) The handwriting is lovely. I don't have any flexi nibs and am keen to see how they write.

Hi Folks!

Will it be best if a list of the group is enclosed within the notebook - with maybe the idea that a PM to the next person will get their mailing details?

I look forward to representing Tasmania.............wet and grey and quite cold as it is right now!

Each day is the start of the rest of your life!

Make it count!!!

Mike, I think that's a great idea. I'm just not sure if it will be possible to get everyone's timetables in sync for that but we'll see what we can do =). Chris, I will include 'the list' with the notebook or send a PM/email around.

Thanks Yuki!

 

I have family in Sydney, so if you are getting a meeting together - can I have the details please - I may just be able to combine it with seeing the kids and grandkids!

Cool beans, no problemos. I'll bring some stuff along and we can rifle through it, let me get back to you on the time though 'cause I'm still in holiday mode.

I'd love that! I hear quite a few of us visit Alexanderino at work on Sundays as it is. I'd be happy to bring along some pens for you to try out Mike.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
