Many in my extended family served in either WW1 or WW2, including my father, but on Remembrance Day I particularly remember my Uncle Ken, terribly wounded on August 1 1944, and Leslie’s Uncle Charlie, my cousin Frank Paulley, and Bernice’s brother Don who did not come home. #LestWeForget

Very pleased and impressed that the North Grenville Curling Centre in Kemptville is fully behind the principles of #TrueSport. And so are Team Lovitt.

Something I've observed over the past few weeks, especially when teams are trying to "carve", or accentuate curl.

Many thanks to Ian Tetley and his staff at Oakville Curling for hosting the Stu Sells Oakville Tankard this weekend. While Team Lovitt didn’t qualify for playoffs we had a terrific first event of the season. Best wishes to all of the remaining teams still in the hunt!

Just received this ONOTO Scholar fountain pen from Cult Pens in the UK. Navy with gold accents, its fine nib writes smoothly and beautifully. A new favourite.

Looking forward to testing the new Balance Plus “grey” foam at practice over the next two weeks, now that Team Lovitt has ice at KW Granite and at Oakville.

Just received this lovely Leonardo Momento Magico fountain pen from @laywines.bsky.social in Toronto. Piston filler, inked with Diamine Majestic Blue, my favourite ink. Writes beautifully. The size fits my hand well and I love the ink window on the barrel. Beautiful pen.

Here at the ALS Canada Walk to End ALS at Toronto’s Ash Bridges Park with Sarah Leung of Team Lovitt today. Really appreciate Sarah being one of the volunteers here today. 💕

Newly acquired, this Kyoto Elegance Yamanaka fountain pen from Celsius, and sold by Komorebi Stationery. Comes with a Schmidt Iridium fine nib, which interestingly writes much smoother than some of my other pens with Iridium nibs. Beautiful pen and I appreciate the heft of the metal body.

With many thanks to @cultpens.bsky.social I procured this very nice Pelikan Souveran M800 (F) in red and black. Writes beautifully, as one would expect from a Pelikan fountain pen. A new love for writing my correspondence. Inked with Diamine Majestic Blue.

Just received this lovely Esterbrook Estie Botanical oversize fountain pen via PenBoutique this afternoon. I love the added diameter of the oversized barrel and the fine nib writes exceptionally well. Well done Esterbrook… I have a new favourite. Inked with Diamine Majestic Blue.

Having seen a number of posts in the Fountain Pen feed #fountainpen regarding the suitability of various stationery for fountain pens, these are my go-to papers: my CD notebook in A5 format, and G. Lalo writing paper, also in A5. The G. Lalo is simply beautiful paper.

I just received this Platinum Vicoh Kanazawa gold leaf “Autumn Leaves” fountain pen with an 18K medium nib, from Take Note pens in Toronto. Inked with Diamine Majestic Blue. Absolutely exquisite. Writes like a dream. The finest pen I own.

I just received this Moonlight and Autumn Grasses Mino Washi Fountain Pen from komorebistationery.com in Japan. Lovely pen with a real heft. I found the barrel a bit narrow for my liking, and the converter didn’t fit well - a Waterman converter fit the Iridium nib much better.
