Danitrio Fellowship travelling journal

[Kelly G]

And here I thought you had been "mirandering." I do hope you get to feeling better sooner rather than later. I don't see a problem in inserting 'calligraphy' into the list, especially if it makes things simpler for you.

[calligraphy]

yaaay! may i put a wax seal on the page after i've written my entry?

Calligraphy, I see no reason not to. Go for it.

 

I'm glad the Aussies are so enjoying the journal. I am in if we start another.

[calligraphy]

I'll try e-mailing Miranda to see if she'd be able to post it to me in Sydney.

[Miranda]

Will do, Calligraphy.

 

Can you believe this? The Journal is perfectly safe, but now the Fellowship pen is hiding somewhere....

 

Concerted effort to track it down going on now.

[troglokev]

Good to see this found and moving on again! I do hope you haven't lost your Danitrio Fellowship pen, Miranda. That would be a tragedy!

[Miranda]

ok, me again with the non-lost journal.

 

sorry for the delay in replying but was in hospital with an osteoporotic spinal compression fracture of the T6 which was agony for 8 days, and am now have bacterial pneumonia due to gram negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa and am back in hospital for another ten days for IV antibiotics. Wish they had done both at the same time!

 

This is day 6, so my lungs are clear again and the lungologist is very pleased with me.

 

And what would we do in hospital without having access to the Internet, and our own music and photos and mobile phones?

 

Only bought in about 12 fountain pens, but am finding the VPs great to use as a patient.

mea culpa Miranda

[who is on fentanyl, morphine and codeine, and a bit feverish, so please excuse lack of clarity]

Hope you'll feel better soon Miranda! Which hospital are you at?

[Kelly G]

I'm still hoping.....

[Kelly G]

It has been awhile since we bumped this to the top of the que. Any word on the journal? Any new words in the journal? Any words at all?

[calligraphy]

Nothing so far :S

[Kelly G]

Any clue as to the whereabouts of the journal these days?

[Chi Town]

Can I Get in on this journal or has it run it's course?

[calligraphy]

I'm not sure where it is. Hasn't arrived here yet.

[Miranda]

umm .... err.... it's still with me.

 

But i have a darn good excuse.

 

A couple of weeks in hospital with a 'flat as a pancake' T12 spinal compression fracture about the time I said I'd post it.

 

Then SIX months in prison hospital with more trouble from the T12 injury, compounded by a badly broken femur when the assistant men dropped me, mistaking their job of lifting for dropping. Severe osteoporosis didn't help any of that. But they were negligent. As was the nurse. But that's another story of trying to get compensation.

 

I can't tell you how important my pens, inks and paper were when I was in hospital and rehab. A small important source of pleasure and a way of keeping in touch with the real world. yes. that one where everyone uses fountain pens!

 

So I have been home in a wheel chair and on a decent amount of pain medicine for a while slowly going through the erratic collections of things in boxes and I found the Danitrio Journal to my embarrassment and shame.

 

But it is here, and safe.

 

If I can send it to someone in Australia, I will do so, asap. Sending it to the US is beyond my posting skills.

Soki? anyone?

 

Mea culpa.

Hi Miranda,

 

I'm in Sydney. Would you be able to post it to me?

 

Best Regards,

Miranda, your health is far more important than a a 2-year old collection of paper with scribblings of the insane. I'm glad you're on the road to recovery and make sure you put something in the journal before sending it on to calligraphy/Jon!

I notice that a few people on our list may not be frequenting FPN any more. Please note:

Once you get the journal, PM the next person and ask for their address. Give them a few days to respond (and it'll give you a few days to do your bit in the journal). If they don't respond in 2-3 days, go to the next person and PM them.
