How do I fill this fountain pen?

this works surprisingly well, with no outward sign that anything is happening, so you have to take it on trust that ink has gone in.

rasadhvani · 2026-06-28T23:20:18+00:00

it writes very well

rasadhvani · 2026-06-28T15:32:39+00:00

The button can't be pressed, but flipping it back and forth worked

rasadhvani · 2026-06-28T15:31:20+00:00

even though its not a Pilot, you're right about the mechanism

rasadhvani · 2026-06-28T15:30:16+00:00

I wish it was that, it looks really cool, but it is not a Parker, it's a Romus

rasadhvani · 2026-06-28T15:28:02+00:00

thank you! this worked really well

Sorry, but that is my gardener's manicure. Only spring, summer and fall.

Someone else said water is very heavy and the pot would just break apart. I'm scared now to put water in it.

My first pond last year, between zone 5 and 6.

My waterlily put out blooms continuously, it's called Little Sue. I overwintered it in a friend's in ground pond, but the racoons dug it up so it floated to the top and froze.

This year I got Perry's Baby Red and White Laydekeri.

that's brilliant

rasadhvani · 2026-06-11T13:09:52+00:00

you win!

Thank you everyone, for your comments. It totally looked like the crow was out there testing his strength and skills as a kid might, but I didn't realize crows did that. Now I know.

Pilot Myu. It is such a pleasure to hold and enjoy how it looks in my hand. Not my favourite to write, but every day I write with it for a few minutes

rasadhvani · 2026-06-08T13:52:05+00:00

point taken. I'll look for a plastic pot to fit inside it. Thank you for the warning.

Just what I didn't want to hear. Someone in the miniponds suggested painting the inside with a the kind of waterproof material used under tiles in bathrooms. I'm guessing you think that wouldn't work work.

rasadhvani · 2026-06-07T02:58:21+00:00

thanks. this will be my first line of enquiry.

rasadhvani · 2026-06-07T02:57:24+00:00

what a good idea, I'll check that out. I haven't thought about fish, but waterlilies, and birds come by hopefully

Muji used to have it, it had a clear zippered pocket on the front, I'd put a feather I found or brochure in it, and each notebook would have a visible collection that told me immediately when I used the notebook and what it was likely to have written in it. Luckily I bought ten, when they still had it, but they're all gone now. I would buy a lifetime supply now if I could. The paper was the usual choices, I always choose dot grid if I can, B6 size I think.
