Seems like we have lots of "car" type bits & a couple of woodworking shows to visit & I'm way behind on blogging, sewing etc. Never mind, it keeps us out of trouble (giggle). I used a pen & ink at school too, but we had inkwells in the desk & if we were monitor for a week, one of our jobs was to fill them. That could be messy. Might have a quick look (when I have time) at that yarny blog. Have a good week, enjoy your evening walks & take care.Susan Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11945482062858126629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-19119866623127630832017-05-21T19:19:49.482+01:002017-05-21T19:19:49.482+01:00Fountain pens seem to have become very popular aga...Fountain pens seem to have become very popular again, I certainly enjoy using mine.
