Actually, it is not good news today.

I have suffered with a rather lingering cold for a while now, and not seeming to shake it off, I went to see my doctor's surgery, and he has given me a course of anti-biotics.

Needless to say, that I am not at my usual place on a Saturday, I am at home feeling pretty rough, but my trusty friend Tim is manning my stand at Portobello Road, so hopefully he will be alright up there today.

Oh that is not good, I do hope that your cold not gets the message and clears up. Just when I think mine is clearing, it mutates into a different version :(

Thank you for your kind words, I was up quite early this morning, and having had several mugs of tea, I'm now seriously thinking about going back to bed!

Fortunately, yesterday turned out to be really quite busy up at Portobello.

There were plenty of people who obviously came out with the sole intention of the desire to buy their loved ones a fountain pen for Christmas!

So, I was a very happy bunny yesterday by the time I got back home. Very tired, but very happy!

Good news! Glad you have recovered, and compliments of the season to you! :)

I had a quite pleasant surprise this morning.

There was an E-mail waiting for me with an order for 7 Stainless Steel Capped Parker 51 fountain pens!

It is not exactly going to cancel the National Debt, but a very welcome order nevertheless!

Truffle Finder. :) :D

Yes, I had already been informed about the burglary, and my heart goes out to the poor chap who has lost his treasured pens.

In the past I have been similarly informed about such losses, and I have often wondered what I would be expected to do, if indeed I were to be offered the stolen goods. It's all very well thinking that the obvious thing would be to inform the police, but that would not be a very easy thing to do in practical terms.

I think that I would be inclined to make a very low offer for the items offered, and hope that the offer was accepted, and then I would get in touch with the person who lost the pens, but there is no doubt about it, it would not be an easy thing to deal with.

I thought that since it was getting close to the end of the year I would ask to see if there was any news of those Chatsworth pens.

 

All the best

I'm afraid I have no news about them, but I can only assume that the chap who makes the Base-Pens for me has been busy with his usual work, leading up to Christmas.

Hopefully things should start to happen early in the New Year.

I'll keep you posted!

      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
