On your fasting days do you eat 800 calories?
@writerlywitterings Күн бұрын
I have to admit, I don't fast any more. It was giving me a bit of an issue sometimes, and my wife was finding it increasingly difficult, so we tend to reduce calories on two days a week ( about 1,000) which seems to work quite well for me - I can say that since I just had my latest test results come through!

Thanks for the year-end review! I hope your year is rewarding and happy. Have finished OLDBID and was fascinated by some of the historical detail. So much so that I did some research on the time and place myself. My takeaway beyond the fascinating history was the degree of research you put into even a one-off novel like this. I’m very much impressed. Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy new year! Many thanks for the comment, James. Yes, I find that period/city fascinating, and it was a joy to go back to it and review the history. Lots of wasted hours poring over old books!

Happy New Year to you! My Uni pencil is wonderful. Mine has a knurled grip which is quite handy. I understand putting aside the Diabetic Witterings. I did enjoy listening to your journey and will again when you have the chance. Have you considered pens made from India?
@writerlywitterings 3 күн бұрын
Thanks, Paul - yes, the Uni pencils are stunning, aren't they? Pens from India? Yes, I've looked at them a few times. I'd seriously love an old-fashioned bakelite type, and it'd be fun to try some of the various nib types - just now the finances aren't able to justify any spending, though, and that'll probably stay the case until about July, sadly!
@paulmchugh1430 2 күн бұрын
@writerlywitterings oh, I understand that monetary problem, being retired. I rely on friends and my son and the blessing of my wife to get a new pen 😔. Be that as it may, my son gifted me for Christmas an Indian pen made from bakelite. Stunning pen and the nib works very well. When you are able, you should try one. The cost is reasonable and the quality is very good.

Hi, Alan, and I hope this helps: Wagtail designs. The dimensions are a little over-sized for your pad, but will give a little extra room which isn't a bad thing. It does mean your pad won't get squashed corners and make your pages look a mess. Happy New Year and happy writing! www.wagtail-designs.co.uk/product/writing-paper-gift-set-luxury-leather-writing-case/

The Cross Peerless is a nice balanced pen with super Sailor nib. I bought mine on a walk about in Dublin visiting the country of my grandfathers birth. No complaints. Another nice metal pen is the Italix UK brand Parsons Essential and I have a nice Bolt style Enso Pen but a tad thin....plus the MB Mozart 142 a lovely small metal pen in my MB wallet.

Hi Michael. Hoping your eye improves. The two best days in a construction project are the day you start, and the day it is finally finished! Good luck! Beautiful fountain pen! I do prefer the look and warmth of silver/sterling silver over gold. I am curious what differences-if any-that you noticed between the Marlborough Exmoor versus the Winston Exmoor/Dartmoor in hand (not posted)? I’m eyeing a Marlborough and Winston and I do appreciate the Exmoor with silver trim. Hoping you and your family have a wonderful holiday season!
@writerlywitterings 11 күн бұрын
Hi, there. I love the Winston, but the two are very different in terms of weight and balance. The Winston is a big, heavy pen; the Marlborough is much lighter, and considerably smaller. The W's weight is partly due to a brass filler in the barrel, which gives it that mass. The Marlborough, for me, is the ideal pen for daily pocket carry. Fits in a shirt pocket or jacket with ease, whereas the Winston doesn't really fit a shirt. It would have to be in a pen bag or jacket pocket - or kept at home on the desk. Both lovely writers, but it depends on the sort of weight you like when writing!

@ Thanks for your input! I have my new Detection Club and it writes perfectly! Good choice! Think I will be looking into the Marlborough Exmoor, too.

Very nice video, I love natural leather; love the way it ages, how it creates its patina. I wish Traveler's Notebook had one as an option
@writerlywitterings 11 күн бұрын
I totally agree! I'm surprised that they don't, to be honest - although my brown one has aged beautifully. And it's constantly changing, which I like. I once had a camping accident (my tent blew away) and the notebook got soaked, leading to a huge tide mark in the leather - but that disappeared some years later. Beautiful notebooks, whichever way you look at them!
@haroldmarenger3435 15 күн бұрын
I was looking at the A6 similar to yours, and the next size up, and went with the larger size. I am interested how the A6 works out for you. They have a number useful KZbin videos on how to setup your notebook in different ways (i.e., 2, 3, 4, inserts, types of inserts, etc.), how different people use their notebooks, new products, etc. My notebook just arrived and I have just started playing with it. Thank you for another interesting video. After you’ve used your notebook for 4 to 6 months I’d like to see comparison between your Travelers notebook, the Paper Republic A6, and your William Hannah notebook. Thanks again. Hoping you have a wonderful holiday season!

Many thanks, Harold, and brilliant idea. I'll try to remember to do that. Certainly so far I am finding the PR to be ideal for me, mainly because the lines on the pages are a little farther apart, which is easier on my (lousy) eyes, but also I love the fact that there are more pages.

If you have not already seen, they have another insert that I believe they market as a wallet insert which has a pocket side for sliding things in and out quickly and a magnetic closure for coins or whatever you want to feel more secure about. That will probably suit you if you don't like the kraft folder. By the way, I'm not a salesperson for them :P
@writerlywitterings 15 күн бұрын
Yes, I saw that - another one that's sold out just now, but I'll have to keep an eye open for one of them. I like the idea of the magnetic closure, although I have to admit, I hate the design of the decoration!
