pens and stuff!

I joined an in-person fountain pen group event recently. Was really nice to share a meal 🍷 plus some pens ✒️, inks and paper. This group is annual but even so, it was a highlight for me. It's not easy to find community connection sometimes.

weekly journal

I've set up my weekly journal. I do love using my Stalogy A5 notebook 📕 and fountain pens. The weekly postit is from Muji. I heard recently that just recording Something helps memory 'cluster' around dates, and keeps us able to recall it 🧠.
