The Air Show was amazing. Two more days to go. When the Snowbirds flew over with the Lancaster at the end I burst into tears thinking about how much my late father would have loved seeing that. I'm really going to miss the Snowbirds, by the time they get their new jets I'll be so much older. ❤️😭

So, I may have done a thing when I was out. I mean, I was walking right past Paper Plus Cloth to get to my other destination, and I did want another Pilot Color Eno mechanical pencil because they rock. If you need me I'll be swatching and shopping for pen a that matches. I really am incorrigible. 😂🖋️

Which ink for January? I'll likely have to replace my Diamine Earl Grey, so I better get a new ink now before the Canadian winter ink draught starts. I like them all. The Picture of Dorean Grey is close to Earl Grey but maybe I go in a slightly different direction? 🖋️

I think my Diamine Earl Grey fountain pen ink went bad. I found some scum on the top. I'll be pissed if I have to throw it out, I've used about 3ml out of that 80ml bottle, and in Canada it costs $20. That's a lot of money to toss. Plus it's the only grey I like. Now I need a new January ink. 😭🖋️
