Here is what I am writing in at the moment.  These were the notebooks I counted signatures and pages in.  This does NOT include the notebooks that haven't been opened!

Hooray!  Great enabling!

Is this enabling the enabling?  😄

@amberleadavis Here is the link (Amazon UK) - you need to make sure you've selected Hardcover Dot! I'm not sure what the difference is with that and "Hardcover Dot White Paper" as mine is white...Amazon listings, man. 

Oh dear, some of my pictures have rotated themselves. I'm sure you get the idea!

These bad boys arrived earlier this week! The Semikolon is nicely linen-covered hardbacked with Swedish paper that felt rather iffy but actually wrote quite well with a bit of shading. The Stamford is their Quarto, which is a smidge smaller than A5. The paper is excellent, although it's not so inclined to lay flat out of the box. Both of these are more like plain notebooks, just with dotgrid pages, no numbers or contents etc.  Both on clearance from Cult Pens so it was rude not to try them really.

Only the top two are "active" at the moment.  The top one is my daily journal/thought/brain emptying notebook.  The second one is my work notebook/DIY planner.  The others have been used a bit or a lot, depending on my whims.   

 

I've vowed to myself that I will only move to an unfinished book in my quest to fill them up completely and to use up some of my stockpile of 100+years worth of ink....

 

I'll let you know how it goes...

May you live long enough to use ALL of your ink.................

Discovered that I really like these Apica notebooks. Three arrived today. These are the CD11 (A5 size). The dark one in the background is a Clairefontaine Neo Deco, another of my favorite small/thin notebooks.

@Runnin_Ute What do you use them for?

The picture makes them look different than A5!  

[Runnin_Ute]

@Misfit The Apica's are a bit of everything. The current one has some notes from at least one work Staff Meeting.  Some doodle notes, some stuff about some pens I was looking at. Ink capacities of some Pelikan pens - a 400 NN from the 50's as small as it is has a capacity of a full 2 ml of ink. Did you know that? The much larger M800 and M1000? 1.35 ml. A TWSBI 580/Eco which is much larger pen physically? Both about 1.5 ml  or so.

 

Some notes about some movies I saw and a few of the concerts I have been to.

Some notes on the mileage a couple of pair of running shoes have on them since purchase, last spring.  A Martin Luther King quote, that I saw someplace and wanted to keep it. Another one, that I don't have an attribution for but is about Memorial Day, that I saw someplace.

 

The Neo Deco in the photo? Information about the movies I have watched. (I include name, year and primary cast members (4 or 5 lines))

I have been keeping track since about late July-early August 2020 - I am about 4 or so of these in right now. Since I started keeping track, I have watched over 1280 movies. Not sure what the number of uniques is, but I have seen one or more from every decade since the 1930's. And most years in most of those decades. The 1930's is fewer, as they are typically harder to find.  Most days, I watch at least one movie after work, weekends and holidays can be as many as three or four. Today has been three - Live and Let Die (1973), El Dorado (1966) and When Harry Met Sally... (1989).  The current one started December 1, 2022.

Thank you for explaining @Runnin_Ute It’s always good to learn what others write in notebooks for inspiration to try out. 

[Runnin_Ute]

glad to share.

So I discovered that Homegoods has a home office/stationery section while looking for a new tiny saucepan. I bought a Fringe Studio vegan leather spiral (India) notebook for $8, and a Gifted Stationery (China) notebook for $5. They’re both really pretty and blue.

[Misfit]

Good to know @Penguincollector  I might have to go there and look.

I'm a Clairefontaine devotee but Apica is my other fave. I love them. Nice paper and the style is great. They are generally excellent value too.

[GreenMountain]

Apica is nice, smooth paper,there are a wide variety of notebooks.  My favorites are tiny A7 notebooks for miscellaneous notes while out and about.   And no, I don't need any more (ha ha), much as the thrill of opening such packages is enticing.

Those were my first Apica's. Great shirt pocket size. I have one with me all the time.

I had to make a Target run for my husband, ended up with a turquoise Mead 5 Dtar hardcover notebook. We’ll see how it does.
