My muscle memory tells me this claim is incorrect. So I experimented. This is a Parker 61 from the 1960s. To my hand it feels balanced with cap on or off. So not the first. And it won't be the same for anyone who holds the pen differently with the same size hands, or with different length fingers.

I had no idea how small the Conway Stewart Dinkie was, until one arrived this morning. Shown against a Lamy Safari for scale. The Dinkie needs a new sac, but wrote really well with a dip test.

Been there and literally have the T-shirt

Yeah, I have been re-looking. I am not seeing any sort of AI interference on my results. See screen shot of web search.

Otis, peeking out of the covers to say hi to another Otis.

Of course I meant site. Serves me right for messaging while following a dog in a field

Welcome back. Otis, who has been distracted from his squeaky banana, also says hi.

I hope your skies are clear. Saw it on Thursday from a field in Herts. Initially used my cheap 70mm travel scope as I couldn't see if with naked eye, but pointed iPhone at it and took this. I think with its aperture, the Seestar will do a much better job.

Went out to the garden to get fresh air...lots of ladybirds every, and I became a landing place for some. 🐞

If you see this, quote post a photo you made of a sunset.

Le Touquet.

Similar sentiments to this I remember from the title pages of "Stochastic Differential Equations" by Bernt Øksendal.

Otis says he will have to get back to you before answering that question Chuck, as it is nap time.

Is this a burrito or one very cosy woofer? Who knows?

Listen very carefully, I will say this only once.
