My dear Fateh, be watching your mails over the next couple of weeks. The journal you are a part of, ITJ 01, is in the mail back to me, and I will get it out within a day or so after I receive it. :)

 

You are never forgotten.

Will try to sort-out some 'dry' ink, in preparation!!

Ok! This means the journal is close to winging my way again. I can hardly wait. What inks did you choose this time, Roger? (I sure enjoy your postcard swaps, too.)

It hasn't got to me yet...I think Ondina must be writing her life-story :)

Or maybe she's just very busy, reading all the previous entries; I'm certainly looking forward to doing so.

I can't remember what I used last time...apart from the disastrous BSB :(

Heh, I can never remember what I've written or what I've used. I have to wait for the journals to swing by me again, just like everyone else. Once this one is filled (or near to it), I'll scan it so we can all remember. The hard part will be getting it down to a nice, easily read size. My little scanner works well enough, but it isn't top line.

Well, those of us with scanners could perhaps scan everything up to where they last read/wrote-in it, and you could send us the missing bits...would that help?

Probably not...just a seed of a thought which might germinate into something practical!

Much to live-up to, then....oh, the pressure :D

Well, it arrived yesterday (it's now 2.13am on 28th!! why am I still up?)

 

I spent the whole morning reading and re-reading the fascinating content....... people tell me I have had an 'exciting' life, but I don't think it has had half the dramas experienced by the other contributors :o

 

Thanks, folks...I will get to it soon....promise no BSB this time ;) Trouble is, nearly all my inks are rather wet, and have a tendency to bleed-through the Apica...but I'll do my best.

 

Maybe, if Kimy will share her 'lessons learnt', I will start another one when this is done; I have some small new notebooks from Richard B which I'd expect to be fp-friendly, but they might be a bit thin!

Roger,

 

back to basics I'm afraid. Try Diamine ink in a Lamy Safari. I accept its not as exotic as some of favourite pens, but its farily dry.

 

Looking forward to seeing what you;ve all been writing since the last round.

Meh, use more pages! I found myself wishing I hadn't imposed a page limit on entries. I just wanted to keep reading and reading...

 

The next round will be better for you Roger. The journal to start that round has a mix of Arches and Frankfurt papers. Let your pens flow!

Haven't got a Safari, Jim, but have managed to find some dry enough pen/ink combinations :)

I experimented a bit on the very last page before taking the plunge.

The previous experience just made me choose a bit more carefully....don't worry, Kimy :)

 

But it wouldn't be me if I didn't have some sort of little mishap!

 

My 72yo Vacumatic was going so well, but suddenly decided to deposit a big 'blob' of Arabian Rose...fortunately right in the top corner of the page and kitchen towel saved the day....I'm sorry, but the free blotters supplied by a certain nibmeister aren't really up to the job, IMO, except, maybe, when they are absolutely brand-new!

As I say, no real damage done...just one page with a bit of extra decoration ....(tell me what you can see in this blot!)

It could've been much worse.....I just feel rather embarrassed at having blotted my copybook :D (and yours).

 

I have just packed it up to send to Jim...don't feel I have done very well this time around...as I said, too many other things going-on in my life just at the moment, maybe.

Ohhh, but that sounds terribly interesting...LOL Got to tell us all about it, Roger.

I didn't do terribly well the first time around, Roger, I really wasn't terribly well at all. Fortunately the tests have all come back normal, though my blood pressure is described as "borderline". I have been told to lose some weight though :( So maybe I'll do better this time around. I'll be waiting out for the postman til it arrives.

I hope I have (told you) but it didn't seem to be (terribly interesting), Ruth ;)

For example, why we have, to all intents & purposes, no English-language TV here at present ....went off just after the Olympics Opening Ceremony :bonk:

I am trying to get things going on our little urbanisation.

I hope you are feeling much better, Jim. I've battled the high blood pressure. Some time ago, I went in because I almost passed out at work. My doctor freaked when he saw how high it was. I was fortunate in that I only had to take the medicine for 5 years before we got it under control. We still keep a close eye on it, though. Stress is the biggest factor, even over weight. That has been the hardest battle, considering where I work and a few other things.

 

Keep an eye on yourself, Jim. It's worth it.

If you can't rant to your friends, your blood pressure rises...

 

We serve a valid, medicinal-type purpose. :D

      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
    • adamselene
      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
