I got an email from a client who wrote perturbing instead of protruding.
I suppose it's possible she was concerned by the thing that sticks out a bit.

I'm one of the privileged fountain pen nerds who got a bottle of the new Pelikan Edelstein Apricot Achat ink on Friday night. I've put it into a Sailor with a fude nib. 😁 Sorry. My other obsession leaked out.

This person just followed me. I wondered why, so checked the profile and found that it only follows 22 older women from various countries. I wonder why? What next? A DM? 😁 Or am I too cynical.

If you fancy watching this film on YouTube that would be lovely. If you would consider pressing the button below it that asks to "give it some hype" that would be even better.

Today I bought a yellow fountain pen from a gentleman named Adolphus Smith, who made it by hand and travelled from Ohio to the London Pen Show. I'd saved up for some special things and this one called to me.

We called the bank about a fraudulent charge on my business bank card. They told me they would investigate, which they have, and that they would cancel my card and send a new one.
I cut my card up.
They had done neither. I found out 14 days later. 🙄 Very big bank. Numpties.

Work in progress. I made this fragrance, which smells complex but is made with three unusual naturals and one synthetic but naturally occurring molecule. I love it. Ought I to try harder, or leave it be?
