I'm A Sad, Pathetic Stationery Junkie.

Just reordered my favorite diary with weekly pages from Nolty:  Size: 3.7 x 5.7 inches (9.5 x 14.4 cm) Japan Management Association Management Center NOLTY 2023 Weekly Planner, Noritsu Notebook, Gold, Black, 3121

The leather cover is great and the weeks are useful.  Its only problem is that the months are Gantt rather than the usual quad style.  Last year I found a small quad monthly Nolty diary with just the months, cut that up, sewed it into a booklet, and stuck it in the larger diary.  This year I can't find the little monthly diary in the right size; they are all somewhat bigger.   I guess I'll have to find some paper, sew a little book, and use a pen and ruler to make the months.  Humph!

Any suggestions?

Here is the current layout:

 

 

Looking for this in a 3.7 x 5.7 format, one month when the book is open.

I got two notebooks, or really six, for Christmas. One is a Nuuna notebook, and the set of five are a USPS and Field Notes collaboration of Schulz or Peanuts.  The photo also includes a necklace featuring Jupiter that I received.

Oh no, I hope I don't go down this rabbit hole.

 

I've just purchased a cheap Lamy fountain pen.

Unfortunately pens need paper….

Thank you inkypete. Not going out today, it's 40C in Adelaide right now.

Yes agreed, Misfit, but there's paper .... and there's very expensive paper.

 

I'll get paper commensurate with the quality of the Lamy Safari. Not a hand-made boutique special, made the same way as it was in 1860, cased in a leather-bound cover.

I bought my wife this blue leather 6-pen case, after seeing my red one work out OK, and it arrived in time (and then some) to masquerade as a Christmas present:

I mentally heard Schroder playing as I read your post. Nice haul!

[Misfit]

@Penguincollector What was he playing? Was it Linus and Lucy?  Or maybe Beethoven Christmas music (as he told Lucy he was playing)?

[Penguincollector]

Linus and Lucy!

[Misfit]

Super cool!!

Once when my Mom and I were visiting St. Louis, we went to a revolving rooftop restaurant. There was a piano player, so we asked the waiter to give a request for anything from Vince Guiraldi.   I don’t remember if it was Linus and Lucy or the Christmas song.  We learned that it was a welcome request compared to what was usually requested. Thanks for inspiring that memory.

Segway: my late wife's cat was named Linus after the Peanuts character.

Speaking of meringue,  I did not make this, my offspring did, but the mushrooms are meringue.

Dancin' an' eatin' cake as we zoom around on our scooter lookin' for a notebook. Wheeee 🤪

[Penguincollector]

Happy to both eat and dance merengue pretty much anytime.
