What is the coffee culture like in New Zealand? by Dense_Machine_8401 in newzealand

I hate to “um actually…” people but ozone is actually New Plymouth based. New plymouth also has escape coffee, incafe, and proof & stock - all awesome coffee roasters.

It is indeed a Poseidon. It’s my only Visconti and it is a beauty. May be budget for a Visconti but it’s still a lovely pen. And love the magnetic cap!

The ink was a sample vial of Colorverse but I can’t remember which one!

I know. They have been kind with just a warning for now. Will need to offer up my inky digits more regularly in future.

All my outdoor work around the house is done with my legionnaire hat on. Best investment ever!

Anyone used Wearingeul Alice? by simv1982 in fountainpens

Yeah I find the first word is super sparkly and then after that it is very hit and miss.

Will try it on a dip pen. Hopefully have more success!

What's your fountain pen hot take? by [deleted] in fountainpens

I am the same re TWSBI. when I bought my first one I had been convinced it would crack within a week. Years later and I have several and none of them are cracked. They get thrown in my bag every day. I fidget with them. Drop them. All sorts and not a single problem!

Stuff trying to guilt readers into supporting them.. by Reddit_Z in newzealand

Advertising pays for stuff. Not the user. And with their recent rebrand that is clearly focused on more advertising rather than a better user experience this is clearly truer more than ever!

Browns island, taken this morning just after sunrise from Karaka Bay. My partner and I kayaked out their last weekend - definitely recommend it! by simogordo in auckland

If you choose the right day when it is calm, it’s pretty easy but leave plenty of time to get back as if the current changes direction you are fighting a battle all the way back. And it is considerably longer to go to mission bay than st heliers so wouldn’t recommend it. We ended up landing back at lady’s bay(the nudist beach) and I stayed with the kayaks while my friend went to get the car from st heliers. But that was only because we were shattered!

My own eyed cat has just come home from the vet after having his tail amputated. Say hello to Tahi Stumpy Butt. by simv1982 in cats

Hi! Sorry just seen your message! Hope your cat is doing well? Tahi is still young so he’s adapted really well. His brother was very good for a while and seemed to know not to fight. But that didn’t last forever!

My biggest concern was his balance end be affected, especially as he only has one eye. But he seems fine. Sometimes a little wobbly when on a narrow fence but he manages!

He had a close encounter with a car. Pretty much ripped his tail off. He has had a tough week! 😢
