Light Project and I had our second photoshoot day, and just as the Vianne's Confession shot was finished, Italian Elle magazine asked for a picture! Witchcraft, I tell you.
I gather it went down well in Italy @joannechocolat.bsky.social

I'm one of the privileged fountain pen nerds who got a bottle of the new Pelikan Edelstein Apricot Achat ink on Friday night. I've put it into a Sailor with a fude nib. 😁 Sorry. My other obsession leaked out.

This person just followed me. I wondered why, so checked the profile and found that it only follows 22 older women from various countries. I wonder why? What next? A DM? 😁 Or am I too cynical.

Today I bought a yellow fountain pen from a gentleman named Adolphus Smith, who made it by hand and travelled from Ohio to the London Pen Show. I'd saved up for some special things and this one called to me.
Everything about this makes me happy.

When you see parallel escalators do you ever race each other to the top by just standing there to check which one is faster?
Just us? 😄

Work in progress. I made this fragrance, which smells complex but is made with three unusual naturals and one synthetic but naturally occurring molecule. I love it. Ought I to try harder, or leave it be?

Here's Tina Turner on TV, and there on the right is John Miles who was my parents' neighbour. (He was Mr. Errington, that nice man with the white grand piano.) He fetched their shopping when it was a bit icy out. Lovely chap. He toured with Tina for 22 years.

I've made a fragrance for Elvis Presley. It was approved by the people who authorise such things for his estate and is wafted through the new multi-sensory experience in Docklands.
You can't buy it yet, but we're working on that.
