… the online home of a librarian in Perth, Western Australia
Recently I have been finding myself not reading, not playing games, and not spending time online.
What have I been doing instead?
Spending time with family.
Playing with and cuddling the chihuahuas.
Talking. Although I also sometimes find myself getting very irritable and not wanting to talk. And occasionally I think that being quarantined wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing (assuming you didn’t actually get seriously ill with H1N1 virus, of course).
Thinking.
Sitting. Just sitting.
I didn’t know the post office delivers on Saturdays! Someone dropped off a package for me this morning. It was most unexpected, and very pleasing, to have this delivered.
A steel pen stand, from Melbourne Vintage Pens.
These are my favourite pens. Above (left to right): Pilot 78G with a F (Fine) nib, Namiki Vanishing Point (I have F, Medium and Broad nibs for this pen), Pelikan M450, Pelikan M200, Parker Sonnet (F Nib), Lamy 2000 (also F nib), and the odd one out - not a fountain pen - a Uranus 2018 Multifunction brush pen.
These pens here I have bought from Melbourne Vintage Pens over the past couple of years. Three vintage and three modern - from left to right: Parker 51 (M nib), Wahl Eversharp with F semi-flexible nib, 1943 Parker Vacumatic (F semi-flexible nib), Parker Sonnet (M nib, most recent acquisition - this arrived today with the stand), Parker Frontier (M nib) and Sheaffer Prelude (F nib). The silver Parker Sonnet in the middle picture also came from Melbourne Vintage Pens.
You may have guessed that I am partial to Fine nibs.
Twelve fountain pens and one brush pen here. I suspect most people wouldn’t have this many pens lying around.
Love the cover, haven’t read the book.
