A silly thing from four years ago popped up on FB as a "memory", it still makes me smile. :) A Pelikan 400, and a Pelikan 100N in a Pelikan Mk. 4 fountain pen holder (from the early 1950s or thereabouts).

I hope you never lose your ability to enjoy silly things. Have a great day! #FountainPens

Here are pictures of our #rescue pup Adele from two years ago (she passed away last year at age 17y7m, almost nine years with us). She brought joy into this world, people always smiled when they met her on our walks and elsewhere. I am forever grateful for all the time we were able to share.

This, 100%

”The World around me seems to be going mad, but fortunately I still have my fountain pens and inks, and at least for the moment, the freedom to write whatever I want. That there is something worth protecting, and fighting for.”

The world might be going to shit but at least I finally have an LED-unicorn (aka. “rave pony”, or “reiviponi” in Finnish). 😅

Some macro shots of the more interesting nibs on my currently inked #FountainPens for Feb 2025… BB Pelikan 100N, OB Waterman #5, and OBB Parker 51. You don’t see those every day.

All are from the 1950s, btw. ”The Golden Era of Fountain Pens”.

What are the scenarios where all of this isn’t going to end up *very* badly? 🤬

trump and his cronies seem hell bent on running the US of A to the ground, kind of like you’d expect from a mole, a sleeper agent of foreign powers set to rot and collapse the host nation from within.

Finally hopped on to the Gestura train… are they needed? Not really, but they rock for basting and other spoony things like that. They also complement my serving spoon arsenal well, great for more refined platings :)

Who else here likes vintage fountain pens? Or fountain pens overall? Here are a bunch of my favourites of all time, post-WWII Pelikan fountain pens (100N & 400-series) with cursive italic BB & BBB nibs. They are just phenomenal writers, nothing modern can touch them. #FountainPen #Pelikan

I wish I had an original copy of that one… Vintage Pelikans are my jam <3 Mostly post-WWII 100N & 400-series pens, especially loving the cursive italic/stubby BB & BBB nibs…

Made some makisushi for lunch, prepped everything last night but was too tired and not that hungry so I just refigerated everything for an easy lunch prep today.

I love cooking and good food. All made from scratch <3

Sushi vinegar was made with akazu.

#NeverAgain Holocaust Remembrance Day might be more relevant today than at any other point in history since the day that it commemorates: the liberation of the prisoners of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death and concentration camps on January 27, 1945.
