Just Underfoot playing with a toy — but it’s so cheering because he’s never been a “cat” before. He was an injured stray who found us. We helped him recover, but he’s suffered chronic pain for a few years now. Our vet prescribed Gabapentin and *poof* he’s suddenly a cat. This is quite a good gift.

Received a couple fun fountain pens from Japan that I love playing with but will flip as extra fine nibs don’t like my southpaw writing style. A 1965 Pilot Capless C-100RW and a Parker 65. The 65 has a wonderful inlaid nib. The Capless was Pilot’s first attempt at an entry level retractable.

I’m impressed with the new Diplomat Viper fountain pen. Smooth writing, looks great and the magnetic cap is wonderful. The metal section is a tad slippery, but it’s really well balanced. The cap is too tempting a fidget toy. It can take the clicking, but after many can pull ink into the cap.
