It is a lovely feeling to finish a Bic Cristal ball pen. It did its job to the full... or well...
Most of the pen use was just fine with all the ink retracting to the ball for use, but then a bit of ink got stuck on the side of the pen - and then more and more. Why?
Why does the ink "suddenly" get stuck to the inside of the ink tube when it was flowing down so fine for more than 2/3 of the pen's use?
I have too much stationery, so today I did a bit of decluttering and donated 5 brand new , unused Pentel mechanical pencils.
I got these in Wales because I only had the last lead in my mechanical pencil and was sure I was going to run out.
I love this text from the back: Made in China to Japanese standards
I would love a red Pentel P207 - I'm thinking about converting a P203...
Currently, I am saving my pencil stubs in a plastic container when I get too tired of the small pencil remnants.
I clearly did not think about how little space those pencil stubs take up. I was sure the container would be more full by now.
Still: I like it :)
Very satisfying to look at.
Should have bought some packs.
This is what I got.
All comments are wellcome
(Casio is on Japan-time)
This is how the Faber-Castell Poly Click Pencil is being sold in Brazil.
I like the lead tube. I think it looks very cute.
To be clear: It is a 2 mm lead holder with incremental advancement of the pencil lead.
Since I have a hard time motivating myself to exercise (including running), I have decided to make a notebook with all my half marathons to remember them all and use my obsession with office supplies and notebooks as extra motivation to run traing.
I am setting up a lined Moleskine notebook for my halfmarathons.
I will run a lot of them, so now I will be needing a nice notebook to log them all.
Three unused mechanical pencils from Pentel.
I love Pentel pencils so I had to pick up these three to test if I also love these.
Do you feel the love for Pentel?
This Steadtler Noris HB is now only a stub and will be going to the stub jar today.
I have enjoyed using this pencil.
I love this highlighter display for Stabilo Boss
New pencils are always exciting.
4 different pencils!
Which one to choose next?
I just finished two cartridges. The Parker is a surprise when the ink just stops.
It is much more fun with sheer cartridges that can be monitored on the way down.
Countries visited in 2026 (all individual trips).
Now a long summer at home with much-needed home time.
