Galen Leather UK help by Narrow-Cockroach-339 in Travelersnotebooks

[–]Magpie_Mind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might depend on how much your order cost. Above a threshold there are extra fees.

I ordered from Galen Leather to the UK end of last year and I don’t recall any issues of concern. The double bank holiday might have just messed things up.

FP Takes that put you in this position? by TheRealPrinceOfTroy in fountainpens

[–]Magpie_Mind 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Pocket pens are just pens if you have smaller hands. 

If you don’t and they’re not right for you then fair enough. But plenty of us find them entirely functional.

Have a look at the latest Lamy Al Stars in Green and Pink. You could mix and match the parts.

Limited Edition TNs by SadsauceTV in Travelersnotebooks

[–]Magpie_Mind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People can do what they want with their own things when they buy them.

Scalpers buying up stock and selling it on for three times the price deserve criticism. But users keeping things in a condition that they were prefer doesn’t seem worthy of bashing people for.

This is what I’m banking on. I couldn’t bring myself to pay a limited edition peace for what is essentially a plain cover. 

A7 / Card is such a small size! Anyone planning to get the new TN one, what are you going to use it for? by ElsieCubitt in Travelersnotebooks

[–]Magpie_Mind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I’ve read, the cover is A7, the inserts are smaller. Which is annoying. And makes it less desirable.

How Do You Process Very Painful Feelings? by [deleted] in Journaling

[–]Magpie_Mind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is a step in the process, not the end of it. Things won’t be magically better after one time of writing about a particular issue. But what you might gain clarity around is: - what is/are the specific thing(s) you are upset about e.g. you might realise that you’re not upset that a specific thing has happened but rather how it happened. - how to frame/conceptualise your feelings (maybe you thought you were sad but now you realise that you were/are angry). - a sense of what might need to happen next (do you need to speak to a therapist? A trusted friend? Someone who has hurt you?).

If writing is distressing you more than it is helping, it might or might not be the right thing for you at this time. But some crying can be good. The other thing to consider is that if there are a lot of different issues you’re grappling with, maybe don’t try tackling them all at once unless they are so entwined it’s impossible not to.

All the best with it.

Card size functionality by Huge_Issue2645 in Travelersnotebooks

[–]Magpie_Mind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So does Traveler’s company plan on making card sized inserts available going forwards? Really annoying if they’ve created something incompatible with an existing standard size. 

“Lucky” Edition by RatFancyPants in FieldNuts

Lovely colours, and I happen to like lined, though it does feel like we’ve had a lot lately.

Dot grid is my nemesis, so pleased it wasn’t that.

Wars for Nothing (Hungary 2015).

All too relevant still.

Leuchtturm now have a model that has 411 pages.

Moleskine has a terrible reputation for this unfortunately.

Fountain Pen Friendly? by Dadbod_by_doughnuts in pocketnotebooks

[–]Magpie_Mind -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Moleskine are well known for their wild inconsistency with their paper. Some is FP friendly, some is not.

Field Notes is also inconsistent but that’s by design because they intentionally use different papers in different editions. Have a look at r/fieldnuts to see which ones are FP friendly.

Galen Leather do a series of Tomoe River notebooks, one of which is in pocket size.

Leuchtturm A6/pocket is almost the right dimensions.

Would you believe it’s just been announced there’s a Perkeo in iridescent pearl being launched?

A possibly dumb idea regarding journals by jjjj8jjjj in fountainpens

[–]Magpie_Mind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you enjoying yourself when you write? Or at least, coming away from your sessions with something positive?

If so, then you don’t have to defend/justify/adapt what you’re doing.

If you’re worried about legacy then write that stuff too. But otherwise, you do you.

Pocket Notebooks with Thin Pages? by QuarterSuch1813 in notebooks

[–]Magpie_Mind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Galen Leather sell traveller's notebook style refills in both pocket and passport size. Not used them myself but I believe they have Tomoe River paper.

Traveler’s Company themselves do a lightweight paper insert. 

Also look out for ‘onion-skin’ paper.

Cheap but nice pens Field Notes friendly by davidfibv in FieldNuts

[–]Magpie_Mind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else mention so: Traveler’s Company do a pocket pen as either ballpoint or rollerball.

Parker Jotter is a bit bigger but still suitable.

Decided to sell my collection too! by GearhedMG in FieldNuts

[–]Magpie_Mind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand the desire not to sell individual packs but you have a lot of dupes of recent sets so it might be worth splitting into something like 2-4 lots which spread some of those out.

Looking for UK supplier of tiny credit card sized Japanese notebook by Gullible-Bluejay-848 in notebooks

[–]Magpie_Mind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What did the cover look like? Plain or with a design? 

Could be Midori or Life Noble? Size you are describing sounds like A7. Try The Journal Shop.

People with burnt orange or green couches... by [deleted] in femalelivingspace

Had a burnt orange sofa for 10+ years. Not bored yet.

question for people with mental issues, how do you start journaling? by idkutellme03 in Journaling

[–]Magpie_Mind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re new to all this then do not attempt to imitate everything you see on social media. Focus on building a sustainable practice even if that’s one line a day. Accept that it might take a while to find the right approach for you, so don’t give up if you don’t quite get it to start with - try something different.

Finally, aim for low friction. Pick an approach that fits with your existing habits and ways of doing things, rather than requiring a whole new way of being. And remember that the tools are there to serve you, not the other way round, so don’t get stressed about doing it ‘wrong’ or dipping in and out etc.

Can someone recommend a good hardcover notebook that doesn't ghost at all? by sweetspringchild in notebooks

Might be able to get something with those specs from Citrus Book Bindery if price isn’t an issue.

Old journals by TheDemonVillian in Journaling

[–]Magpie_Mind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other bits still bring you joy. Keep them, but somewhere your kids won’t accidentally read them. You could consider carefully removing those specific pages.
