Just booked the hotel for my first pen show! Going to the London Autumn show in October & I cannot wait. Taking the train down the day before and heading back Sunday afternoon. Hopefully that'll be far less draining & stressful than flying down & back on the same day. Foolishly did that the last time I went to London pre-pandemic. Doing that in a wheelchair was rouuuuuugh.
Now all I need to do is make sure I have money to spend at it 😅
Oh, hey! I've finally published another blog! This time I'm looking at the Sailor 1911 Large Casual, with a comparison to the rest of the 1911 family.

Anyone know if Maruman make traditional A5 notebooks using the same paper found in their Mnemosyne pads?
I've been using their A5 spiral-bound pad for some projects & I'm loving how my #FountainPens feel on it, but the landscape layout & removable pages isn't really what I want from a notebook dedicated to meeting/talk notes. I still love the Life notebooks I currently use, but I'd really like to try the Maruman paper longer-term & that would be the best way for me.
