It is indeed. Also makes me look for different papers. Used to write my grocery list on the back of an envelope….now I have a nice little note book for this purpose. 

Clairefontaine makes decent tiny notebooks. Rhodia dot pads are also good for lists 

Just give me the Parker 51s and nobody needs to get hurt.

Well, my wife works as a teacher in primary at the international school here in Geneva and she kindly brought me some material to start practicing. An exercise book for first graders and an A4 Clairefontaine cahier to practice once I move on from current hieroglyphs to more legible writing….

      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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
