Worst Birthday Ever

[Arcadian]

I spent my 40th Birthday today stuck in the office until past midnight. When I could finally call it a day, I got up to pack by bag and go home. But I fumbled with my pen pouch, and accidentally sent it spinning down. It hit the floor. Hard. When I took the pens out to check them, my Solitaire Vermeil had made it through okay, but my 149 Silver Rings had broken in two from the force of the impact. 
 

Sometimes obscenities are just so woefully inadequate.

How unfortunate. Especially on this meaningful day to you...

 

Happy birthday! You'll repair your companion in no time, I'm sure.

 

Regards,

Oh... drats. That's inadequate too. Sorry.

 

Is there a bright side? Hmmm. Pen in for repair means there's space in the pen pouch for another. A new one. Happy Birthday to you?

 

Happy Birthday.

@Arcadian My heartfelt condolences on your beloved and rare “Silver Rings” 149.  This photograph leaves me absolutely gutted.   What a most terrible birthday gift.  I sincerely hope that some talented vintage pen repair specialist will be able to repair your lovely legendary 149.  Deepest sympathies.
