A Timex watch in a digital age.
On the 28th February ’20 I decided, on my way in to work, to take a small detour and visit a Primark store; assuming, correctly, that it would be quiet first thing in the morning and I could look around in peace. What this normally amounts to is me buying far more than I expected; and that’s exactly what happened. Continue reading “The Great Harry Potter Haul”
Ok, before I start the review, I should warn you that this is a coffee and cookies review, by which I mean it’s a bit longer than my usual reviews so get comfortable with your beverage and snacks of choice and read on. Continue reading “The Opus 88 Demonstrator”
There are many things that come with a ‘Black Label’ version which normally denotes a difference between itself and the original. For instance, it is very common to find whiskies/whiskys where the range includes a ‘Black Label’ variety; Johnnie Walker and Jameson both leap to mind; although if you are planning on trying the former then Blue Label is the only way to go.

Well over a year ago I read a review (UK Fountain Pens) of the Franklin Christoph Model 02 and I decided to order one. I chose the Smoke & Ice version with a standard Medium steel nib, placed my order and then addictively watched as it travelled round the world with FedEx, arriving at my door a few days later.

Forget Me Nots have a wide colour palette ranging from deep blue to a blue that is so pale it almost looks like white; ones I saw were a lovely mid blue and that inspired me to choose a blue for this month.

I should start this review by letting you in on a small but very relevant secret; this is my first book review. Continue reading “Pencils You Should Know by Caroline Weaver, a review.”
A while ago I was looking for a notebook suitable for testing inks that would appear as ‘Ink Of The Month’ and I tried out a few and Tomoe River came out best but the cost, for this purpose, was a little prohibitive. Continue reading “The Muji F1 & F4 Sketchbooks as ink testing books.”
A little while back I wrote a review of the Roaring Springs composition notebook entitled “The Indian Marmalade Company Is Proud To Present Dr Sheldon Cooper’s Fun With Notebooks.”
When I wrote this, I had no idea that just over two years later I would be writing Part 2 but then again at that time I didn’t know the ‘Genius & Be Smart’ notebooks existed. Continue reading “The Indian Marmalade Company Is Proud To Present Dr Sheldon Cooper’s Fun With Notebooks Part 2”
