Finished off a stationery set that I had bought on a Christmas market in the early 2000s!!! I had kept saving it forever (because I liked the design so much! Not Christmas related, btw!), but finally got started on it a few weeks ago - and now it's finished.

I have another pad which was kept elsewhere, with only a few sheets of paper left, so I expect that will disappear in the next couple of days.
	Looking towards 2023. What improvements can I make? Suggestions on a postcard / in a letter / forum message / or private message!

I had told it a few weeks ago already, but a beloved Lamy Safari red pen has disappeared this summer. It had fallen in a manhole cover plate's hole (the one the workers may use to handle the plate I think)

RIP my beautiful and loyal pen :tulip:

Happily, I have replaced it with another Lamy Safari pen.

I probably won't replace it. I also may or may not have cross-threaded an eyedroppered Platinum Preppy last night and cracked the body.

resistance is futile! I am thinking of getting the full colour range. The EF nib is really great. I'll shut up now. Feb 25, 2023 9:40:22 GMT

radellaf: Just the X159 and a Karas brass retrakt rollerball, so far. No inky fingers from the X159 so far. The grip is way bigger diameter than the nib and has kind of an edge, so discomfort makes me change my grip before I have a chance to touch the nib/feed. Feb 27, 2023 16:00:36 GMT
