Really enjoying the beautiful simplicity of this Rotring 600 fountain pen. It writes like a dream, and I can pretend I'm a cool architect type when I'm using it....

Beautiful pen, nib and ink combination to brighten up a seriously dull morning at work.

A belated currently inked fountain pen list for July. Not much change from last month because I'm just so happy with them all.

I've just added this beauty to my collection. My first Ebonite fountain pen, an Esterbrook Model J in violet. I'm really enjoying exploring special nib grinds. This one is going to be fitted with a dentist or cursive italic nib from Galen Leather.

Congratulations to Simon Yates taking over the race lead
@giroditalia.bsky.social with one stage to go.
As someone who has experienced both winning a national Tour and losing a Grand Tour in similar circumstances I can appreciate the emotions involved. 🙂😞

Currently inked for a new month. Very restrained by usual standards!
Plus a writing sample from my new Estie fountain pen with a scribe nib. It's fantastic, I'm so pleased with it. No scratchiness, just a sharp, clean joy to write with.

Hello fountain pen Bluesky. I'm considering an Esterbrook Scribe nib. I LOVE my Hongdian long knife nib, which I believe is similar to an architect grind... So should be similar to the Scribe? The reviews online are very mixed, I'd love to hear your opinions if you've tried one.

The shock and wonder in Del Toro's face when a reporter repeats Bernal's quote to him that he can win the Giro is pretty sweet.
"Wow. It's hard to believe because he's one of my biggest idols".

My currently inked fountain pens. I have decided there is no such thing as a 'perfect' blue ink... I'm enjoying having a selection and choosing a different one each day.

New fountain pen, new notebook! What a day!
I'm struggling to think what ink colour would suit the cream and rose gold Eco best though.... I've chosen purple for now but it doesn't quite click. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Two new fountain pen inks that I'm very impressed with. I've been struggling to find a purple that I can use for work, but I think Lilac Night might be just the thing. Celadon Cat is stunning, and not too dry in this medium Pilot nib.

All of the joy of a smooth, slightly bouncy Pilot gold nib, none of the misery of Pilot converters! It's the Pilot Custom Heritage 92!
I finally understand the Pilot fountain pen hype (after not getting on with a Kakuno and a vanishing point!)

Whilst we're talking about notebooks, look at these absolute beauties I picked up this week! Two from Tk Maxx (£3 each and fountain pen friendly!) and one from the Bodleian Library.
