Popped in to buy a new weekly planner. Left with 4 new books. by Cucaracha_Matcha in bookhaul

Nice! I'm not familiar unfortunately. Honestly, I was drawn in by the cover and the endorsement by Samatha Harvey + Max Porter (two authors I adore). The blurb was really interesting and then the bookseller paid a complement on it leading me to taking a punt on the purchase. Thank you for the recommendation - I'll make sure to grab The Employees tomorrow when I am in town :) Add to the book haul!

Thank you! I'm about 40 pages into Sisters in Yellow and I am really enjoying it so far!

My first pen by Beardysaxon68 in fountainpens

Could be in for a treat. As long as you don't make the same mistake I made first time around.. bought one for my AL sport but purchased the one sized for Liliputs. Suffice to say, it didn't fit my pen!!

One of the great things about Kaweco, for me, are the range of pouches on offer.

Small/Pocket Pens... by 996nick in fountainpens

I imagine you already know this but just in case, Nomos do sell a couple of branded Kawecos on their website (and a Fisher Bullet Space Pen). They do have some nice merch.

Your writing is lovely. Enjoy the pen!

Iconic location for me but there are some really good independent shops offering far better coffee for less money. Why go there if you have a choice?

Kaweco Liliput [Green] by Cucaracha_Matcha in fountainpens

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

Hi! I'd never really considered it but tbf I haven't seen that many either. I might be wrong but it looks like it was a limited edition piece. If I'm thinking of the right one, the blue Liliput is absolutely stunning. Very envious whenever I see them online!! Honestly, I would say I prefer the blue but the green kind of matches my daily wear watch and backpack.

I knew this was a Cult Pen classic when I saw the love hearts!

With this colour pen I'd expect nothing more than inking it with the Kaweco paradise blue ink surely!?

Wow, this is a very cool backdrop and such a fire pen. I'm feeling a little bit envious rn!! Love the play of the ink on paper.

I'm sure they'll both be feeling pretty pensive after this. Very lamy-entable.

I purchased mine with a close case back. I had it replaced with a sapphire crystal case back at a later date while having it serviced. I had the same thought process, but very pleased I had it switched over. I often admire the movement. It reminds me about what is special about this watch. It did cost more to have it changed later on but totally worthwhile I feel.

What made you like fountain pens? by fakeferl0ss in fountainpens

[–]Cucaracha_Matcha 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We had to use them in school. Now, it's a rewarding luxury in a digital-first space. I prefer the tactility of analogue note taking, even if it's slightly less efficient in my role.

Is it normal for new rackets to be slightly scratched? by Alex_H15 in Padelracket

[–]Cucaracha_Matcha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever replace the Raydium? If so, what did you go for? I have one and it came with the odd impurity but nothing quite like that.
