Letter IN from @Mark from Yorkshire!  Oh dear, though, it was either pre-opened or ripped open on its own very neatly on a machine, because it's clean razor edge cut just *below* the envelope seal line -- I've never had that happen to me before!  I've yet to read it and check that everything is in order inside, but there are two photographs included with texts on the backs that have been illegibly smudged together.  However at a first glance I think there isn't anything missing in here and everything else seems to be water-free.  (great ink color choice too XD)

Hi @Enkida I suspect it is UK or German customs. There should be five photos in total two sides of A4 and one side of A5. 3 No of staithes, 1 steam train and 1 of the former Northallerton prison. It sounds like the Northallerton Prison and at least 1 Staithes has arrived

Letter OUT to @miwishi63 either today or tomorrow. It depends on when my husband goes to the post office to pick up our mail from our box. Probably in a couple hours after he gets off work.

@amberleadavis  I got the co-razy views done, but I accidentally dropped ink on one of the papers, and we're going on 2.5 days now and the ink still isn't dry, even with the fan.  I might have to put some scotch tape or plastic wrap over it before I can mail it back!!!  Eep.

@amberleadavis I think I forgot to ask you what ink this was... I couldn't figure out if it was Lamy pink or something called DVDRict?

Lamy Pink!

 

@DvdRiet is a fellow FPNer.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
