As in "someone with great verve and enthusiasm," or as is said, "they're all full of pif and vinegar."

Cross Solo, B nib, with diluted Monteverde Horizon Blue (for today's morning pages journal entry.

Noodler's Charlie eyedropper, flex nib, with Noodler's Kung Te Cheng (had to pay some bills, and then address the envelopes they were going in).

Waterman Exclusive, F nib, with Iroshizuku Tsuyu-kusa (for random writing). The ink doesn't get a lot of love around here for some reason -- it's not as glamorous as Kon-peki, but it's a pretty medium blue that is well behaved and is less drippy than Asa-gao.
