That’s because my brain keeps wanting to rename Wearingeul Wayfarer. It’s a really pretty, spakly sheeny teal. Sorry,  I just noticed that I seem to do that with inks.  
Wayfarer

 

I kinda thought that might be what you meant. 🙂

 

Today:

I was writing with most of my 'usual suspects' (Pilots and Sailors) but this one was hiding under my laptop cooler so it gets a photo...

Jinhao X-159 Blue, Yellow tape, EF, Robert Oster Blue Seas (very wet, creeps out on the nib - no shading, no sheening)  I keep forgetting how good these pens are.🙂

How are you liking the MD pen?  I’ve been curious about it.

I like mine. I do think they are overpriced, and only available in M nib (at least when I got mine) --- but I ground mine to something between an EF and F for writing, and the gentle down-curve of the nib makes for nice broad smeary strokes when working with the back of the nib in abstract stuff.

Today's journal pen was a Kaweco Lilliput with a fine nib and a black cartridge.

Just got this pen at a flea market last Sunday.

Yes it is a Waterman.  This is my 3rd Waterman Phileas.  Don't know why I wrote

Sheaffer.  I remember wrestling with what pen I would ink up for that journaling  

time.  It was between a Sheaffer and the Waterman.  Though I inked the Waterman,

I typed Sheaffer.  Should have gone to bed instead of preparing for journaling.

Could have been worse. Your last name might have been "Back"!

Today it's been three pens:

1. Lamy al-Star Gold & Black SE, F nib, with Robert Oster Astorquiza Rot.

2. Pelikan M205 Blue Marbled, F nib, with Pelikan 4001 Blue Black.

3. Esterbrook SJ White (not sure if it's a Nurse's pen or a Pastel), 1555 Gregg shorthand nib, with modern Parker Quink Permanent (?) Blue.

And even better, yours is a Danube blue.
