Text of the page (random words):
e regular ones and one of the folding ones and i d been a bit mystified by the folding one because it didn t make any difference in the kaweco sport they both fit and have the same ink capacity but it turns out that if you try to use the old converter in the liliput the plunger has to be half depressed or it won t fit in the body of the pen so suddenly the folding piston thing makes a lot more sense i didn t desperately need a 3rd converter but now i ve got the option if i want to ink all three kaweco pens at once i do like them for travel because they re easy to fill and clean in a hotel room and don t hold much ink so it might happen i ve been been using a tn sized notebook as a kind of everything notebook for work and commuting and i d already squashed a few pages when something else in my backpack fell in between them this happens to me a lot which is why i prefer zippered holders for my notebooks i switched to using an a5 ghost whale pouch that i already had the same type i had used for my whole journalling setup for quite a wihle but it didn t fit well and i found it unsatisfying it turns out that the lihit labs flat wide case was the right size so i added it to my order i also grabbed two spare tn notebook refills one to use immediately so i could separate my personal and work notebooks the other on hand for when i filled one or the other up my work bullet journal a lochby tn sized notebook with a tn zipper case used as a cover slipped into the front pocket of the new lihit labs flat wide pencil case it fits but it it s sticking out of the top a little just in case you were wondering one notebook does fit into the front pocket with the zipper case on it sticks out a bit but without the case it kisses the edge of the zipper i know it s hard to figure out what will fit from online listings so i thought i d post a photo having it in the front wouldn t work for me since i was aiming to keep the notebook from getting banged up in my backpack but if you re not stuffing things in your bag in a hurry when you get to the right bus stop or you just cared more about fitting pens in the case this would probably work it does fit better in the inside pockets though i actually use the inside pocket for a pencil board instead and just leave the notebook floating in the middle for easy flip open and write usage inside of the lihit labs flat wide case showing some pens on the left and a traveler s notebook pencil board on the right the latter is also in the inner pocket showing that it fits snugly but there s enough room to close the zipper without any difficulty honestly i could probably do without the plastic zipper case now that the notebooks are protected in a different way but i like being able to swap pretty stickers into the back where i can see them and it s fun to be able to glue the two notebooks together by tucking a cover into each side of the non zippered edge i don t think anyone cares what notebook i m writing in at work but it s nice that i can grab them both when i m going to sit away from my desk with a coffee for a bit and write whatever s on my mind i ve been doing a lot of writing at work just to organize my thoughts while i m ramping up and it s helping with the information overload the lihit labs pencil case opened to show some pens in the pocket on the left and the same notebook with cover on the right although the notebook has been flipped over so you can see the stickers inside the zipper pouch prominent is one with an animal bones motif from fireside textiles tonkai and some washi dots are visible behind now that i ve been using both notebooks i will say that the lochby refill that i got as a surprise oopsie out of stock substitution from the gentleman stationer is clearly a slight upgrade over the official tn refill the paper is a little more resilient against feathering there s nice stitching so it lies a bit more flat i like the rounded corners and it has a slightly thicker cover it s probably not enough of an upgrade to be worth the cost and hassle of cross border shopping but it was a generous substitution and if i were still in the us i d probably stock up on them instead of the tn ones the passport sized notebook and zipper case were so i could duplicate my covered notebook with sticker space commuter notebook in a size that would sit in my smallest purse here it is with a little yamamoto ro biki book that i d been toting around before i got the case you can see it s a little squished from use i use the smallest purse for a lot of trips where i m going to be on my feet most of the day because extra weight is hard on my body but it s nice to have a tiny notebook that my kid or i can draw in if we stop for a snack and kid s at the age where people give him stickers and it s nice to have a pouch to put them in or flexible plastic to put them on because he doesn t want to lose them i m honestly a little miffed that the zipper case in passport size has card sized slots because i think it would look prettier without but i guess that s what i get for not actually buying something intended as a notebook cover a rust coloured yamamoto ro biki notebook with a stylized tree on it with spindly long branches and round dots for leaves it has a plastic tn passport zipper case over the notebook being used as a cover the stamp ink i haven t used yet but it s for this auto advancing number stamp i got with the intention of quickly stamping page numbers into notebooks that didn t have them unfortunately the ink that came with it takes forever to dry so the process isn t quick at all and i have to blot the stamps or they take days to fully dry i don t know if the midori stamp ink will be better but since i was already going to be paying for shipping i figured it was worth a shot i haven t gotten around to cleaning out the stamp pad and trying it though a close up of a dot grid notebook with the page number 22 stamped inside you can see that there s some messy ink transfer from the stamp on the facing page i avoided adding fountain pen ink to this order because it was so cold and i didn t want to risk having a bottle freeze solid and break en route thankfully the stamp ink came in a forgiving little plastic container and there were no problems overall i had a nice online shopping experience and it was such a relief to find somewhere that would send me back on stock notifications for the tn notebooks after it turned out my local dealer either doesn t carry the dot grid ones or they re just out of stock all the time and i don t know which hopefully i ll get to visit wonder pens in person some day and maybe next order likely when i need a new planner in the fall i ll be able to get some ink tags fountainpens stationery add memory

use the original link since the formatting there is usually better it s march traditionally february is the month where i used to feel the worst when i lived in canada likely because it s when you re sick of winter and the dark but honestly it didn t seem so bad this year possibly because i wasn t in winter in december so i haven t really gotten sick of it it s amusing that the number of people with masks on the bus seems to go up when it gets cold a nice n95 really keeps the face warm i guess even i keep mine on on the walk from the bus stop some days just for the warmth a very fluffy eastern blue jay with a peanut as large as his brain stuffed in his mouth he s sitting on a wooden railing overlooking my snowy backyard he was actually even more fluffy a moment before i took the photo the weird pattern is from the screen door on my patio possibly i m not sick of it because of the sheer relief of being here and not there though as exhausting as it is to live in a house where you can t find anything because it s in a box and hasn t yet been unearthed or it s been broken by the movers s terrible packing it s hard not to watch people s driver s licenses get yoinked overnight in kansas and think i m so glad i got out before they yoinked my work permit like that one of my new co workers was aghast that i d abandon a green card but i d definitely reached the point where no amount of getting paid more was worth the risks of being declared illegal at any moment and then i wasn t even getting paid more though i did just get my promised partial annual bonus from the old job so that was nice new job is working out even if it doesn t pay as well i like my new co workers and we have interesting discussions about technology and security i m less excited about the constant ai push in corporate land it feels every single microsoft product is yelling at me all the time but i only have to use the parts that have a clear benefit to my work flow so that s something i m spending a lot of time on the bus to commute and although i miss having more time with my kid at home i do like having dedicated time where i don t get interrupted i ve been enjoying podcasts audiobooks mentally writing stories and just having time to think about whatever i m not thrilled to have been hired as hybrid and told i ll be going back to work 5 days a week in the fall i definitely wouldn t have applied for this job if it had been listed as 100 in office but i m trying to wait and see how it works out in practice this month s palette was pretty much built around matching those cute corgi

enough to be usable for work and for writing haven t quite figured out the desk situation enough work on painting yet there are still a lot of boxes but i ve switched most of them to be clear ones so i can at least find things and i suspect there s at least a couple of boxes missing still i ve got an initial stationary shelf started see photo below but i m thinking i ll use drawers for most of my inks and samples and i haven t decided where in the shelf those should go crafting for the climate finished a scarf for my kid and a sweater for me still working on a very complicated scarf for my husband but it s definitely not getting finished before it warms up this year painting with fountain pen ink not set up for this yet but i did get some more watercolour painting books from the library so i ve got some exercises to do once i figure out where the heck my watercolour paper got packed or give up and buy more i ll use it eventually writing wrote a bunch of fanfic for a valentines event

link to this post please use the original link since the formatting there is usually better at the time that i m preparing this post a week in advance we re still waiting on moving company nonsense my internet keeps cutting out while i m trying to do stuff the furnace still doesn t work and the work training i took today got glitched somehow so i can t finish it and i m stuck re listening to an hour of video but hopefully by the time this posts everything will be great and this frustrating day will be a distant memory in the meantime i have pretty inks and a nice crisp apple to eat a view of the green space by the power lines with trees and ground covered in snow and with the sun breaking through the clouds near the horizon let s talk inks a set of 5 ink swatches from the last of the diamine inkvent teal calendar day 21 chaos deep burgundy with grene sheen day 22 pineapple spritz two toned yellow with yellow sparkles day 21 let it snow bright light blue with blue shimmer day 24 antler light brown with a bit of a pink tone day 25 myrrh the merrier rich medium blue with blue shimmer and red sheen showing 5 samples to finish out the calendar an ink swatch of diamine chaos a dark burgundy ink with green sheen although it looks more red and less purple in this image day 21 chaos deep burgundy with green sheen i think this ink is considerably more attractive than last year s sleigh ride so it might actually get used not in love with it though a swatch of diamine pineapple spritz showing the yellow shimmer in the yellow ink it isn t very legible though day 22 pineapple spritz yellow with yellow iridescent sparkle this ink is very pretty but only barely legible in my journal even with a dip pen so it may get relegated to decorative status because i doubt it s going to be better in a regular pen it s really pretty with all that shimmer so i ve got some hope that it might be fun for painting or filling in tracking squares or something a swatch of diamine let it snow fountain pen ink it s bright blue with blue shimmer day 23 let it snow bright blue with blue iridescent shimmer absolutely the kind of fancy holiday ink that i wanted out of this calendar love it describing it makes it sound similar to brrr but it s not a pigment ink so it should be a bit less of a hassle in a pen and it is a very different bright blue instead of the more moody brrr blue day 24 antler light brown fairly similar to smoky tobacco from day 4 but with less yellow and more of a pink feel to the brown also it doesn t stink basically better in every way than smoky tobacco thanks to the lack of scent i ll use this one and possibly never open smoky tobacco again a swatch of diamine myrrh the merrier fountain pen ink a jewel toned blue with blue sparkle and red sheen day 25 myrrh the merrier blue with red sheen and blue sparkles this is the 30ml bottle and it s completely over the top holiday ink i expected something more green leaning for inkvent teal and this really reads as blue to me especially with the blue shimmer so i would have swapped this with day 1 s celestial skies if i were diamine but it s a really lovely ink and i m excited to use it overall i had fun with this year s calendar despite how busy my december was most of these inks are good a...
