It came, so I'm no longer waiting. Gave in and bought a bottle of Graf von Faber-Castell Hazelnut Brown.

None. Nothing. Nil. I need to fix this. And if I order from far far away the anticipation would be long lasting... hmmm.

Studies show the planning and anticipation are one of the most enjoyable parts of vacations.

I love that these two posts appeared one immediately after the other! 

 

And, for me, Taccia Ukiyo-e Utamaro-Umemurasaki. Really wanted Ainezu but it is no longer available from my source.)

Ainezu is a favourite here. And Utamaro-Umemurasaki on the wishlist. So is Diamine Vivaldi and I was just reading a post of yours saying that it, Salamander and Prussian Blue are nice less saturated inks. I have the last two and whole heartedly agree, so I'm thinking the Vivaldi might fix my little drought. Thankyou.

Actually, this time is wasn't down to the boards. I just happened to be browsing on Cult Pens and found the three new 'wonders of the world' inks that simply couldn't be resisted. And of course I then found the some Colorverse project inks that I hadn't previously spotted. And they were all in the sale, and I had a discount code, so it almost doesn't count. Actually, I think I was very restrained as I didn't put any pens in the cart at all.

 

(though I might have ordered a few yesterday.....)

Umemurasaki was the only other of this series that I really wanted. 

 

Definitely get Vivaldi! I think you will love it.

I keep telling that to new people to the forum....  

Guess I need to remind regular denizens as well....

And they are 25% off and a couple of them look like they might be really, really nice. 

 

ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!

I'm happy to report that a 30ml Diamine Vivaldi has been ordered and is unlikely to arrive before 25th February. Therefore the itch to be awaiting ink has been scatched and the cure long lasting. That's the advantage of living far away.

I saw that Cult pens had 2022 Inkvent for 1/2 off!  I didn't buy it, but I looked really hard.  Instead I paid for the kids books for college.  Seemed much more sensible.

Won't they need an Invent for when they're in college on Dec. 1st?

Woot woot! 

 

My order was packed by vanness within two hours and shipped the next day. If it doesn't take another side trip to Puerto Rico, purple jade rabbit will be here Friday!

Hi friends

I tried to buy 2 bottles of Montblanc NP. (non permanent) Midnight Blue from a local 'luxury goods' retailer and received Permanent Blue instead!!

After some 'forensic' work dusting for fingerprints, dissecting and digital scanning etc I found the culprit. The offending sticker and barcode on the underside revealed the order had been 'picked' correctly but the code had in fact been attached to the wrong product!😱

Customer services rep did her best and reached into the goodie bag for me...cancelled order, reversed payment, supplied a FreePost number for the returned goods. 

Soo,  it was a very disappointing self-birthday present.

During the process I lost confidence in ever getting the advertised product because their system offered a product they never actually had.

 

On a brighter note my self-birthday Edelstein Tanzanite ink arrived from another Pen Store 😛 ...Okay!!! Now we're rolling...!

Sadly the converter I bought with it, for my new self-birthday Kaweco 'Original' worked fine... but for some other pen!! It didn't fit mine and I'm back to filling cartridges!

 

It's a lovely summer evening here a pairs of 'California Quail' are grazing, dust-bathing and calling just outside my door. Their calls remind me of when you accidently sit down on a pet's 'chew-toy' 🤣

 

I'm not that bothered about the mix up honestly. It all gets straightened out in the end. And I can't help but remember that I was once a client manager, within a global logistics company, distributing orders for 20 or so smaller companies and no doubt made my share of errors!😄

 

I would still like to find some MB Midnight Blue without going offshore but my luck doesn't seem that great so far.

 

Cheers, P.I.Tom
