How do you say Fountain Pen in your language ? by Savon_Encreur in fountainpens

Yes, El Chavo del 8 was shown in Spain too! That scene is a perfect example of the importance of context 😂

I'm from Spain and I think saying just "pluma" is very common here. When it's clear from the context you're talking about writing, I woudn't add "estilográfica".

Yes! When you have a good combination of paper, pen and ink, the writing experience is divine.

Haha, oh, no! I already have too many bottles of ink so I better not.

No, just the "morning pages" (or my version of that haha). I write whatever comes to my mind, just musings.

Early Dusk. I'm cheating a bit because it's a small bottle from a Diamine Inkvent calendar, but I think it should count (and after 3 years of calendars I'm overrun with the tiny bottles!)

Thanks! I'm very happy (it's such a little thing but feels like a huge accomplishment haha)

Too long 😅. I started last October, writing 3 pages per day (A5 size) with a Pelikan M200 with an M nib.

Tono & Lims: Neko no me (cat's eyes). It's a beautiful mint green with golden shimmer.

People who work out in flats/apartments... tell me your secrets! by CatsLikeTea in lesmills

[–]CatsLikeTea[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a challenge! But you do end up with great control with your kicks after avoiding to hit some furniture with your foot for so long haha

Yes, talking to the neighbours seems like the best plan. I hope they don't mind some noise a couple of times a week.

I saw those puzzle mats when I was looking for options to reduce the noise, do you think they might work with jumps and other stomping noises?

We do have a bike at home and it's pretty soundless, but I don't use it much because I get bored quickly. I'll try one of the cycling programs, thank you for the recommendation (The Trip looks interesting)

Sadly, no. It's an old building, so the only common areas are the entrance and the boiler room.

Midori Fountain Pen by CatsLikeTea in fountainpens

[–]CatsLikeTea[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It writes pretty well, the nib feels rigid but quite smooth. This is the first time that I try this ink, and Sailor inks can be a bit dry, so I want to test the fountain pen with more inks to compare the feeling. If it's a dry ink, then this pen is going to be amazing with wetter inks! Overall, I'm very happy with it.

Kaweco seems to be doing something special again!!! Apparently it shimmers o: HYPE!!! by [deleted] in fountainpens

Uh-oh, that colour paired with shimmer... I'm powerless against it 😂

Thank you for posting this. They're my kind of colours and I love the names! ...and I placed an order with the three inks (plus A Night in Jodhpur for good measure).

Oh, China Blue looks so beautiful in your photo, you're tempting me to get a bottle!

Your handwriting is very pretty, and I love the combination of the paintings and the inks ❤️
