There is always a start, a new start for everything. I've always been an eager writer and have been blogging here and there in Finnish and now some time has passed by without writing anything so I decided to start a new blog - this time in English.
I will try to provide new content every week at least once, sometime more often and sometimes less often, sometimes more pictures and sometimes more text. I hope I won't offend anyone with my writings but if I hurt someone's feelings, my condolences. The layout of this blog is for starters at the moment, I'll tune it little by little, try to bear...
Ok, the introduction done. For the last weeks I've been digging out information about the fountain pens and fountain pen friendly papers and notebooks. I bought my first fountain pen Lamy Safari some weeks ago and even though as nice a pen it is, the grip sucks - and badly. My hand is bigger than the average German hand so the natural grip for me is when I grip the pen in the part where grip turns into the body of the pen where the rubber ring is. You may well imagine that it's a grip that is not too ergonomical. To tell you the truth I bought the pen for drawing purposes but still the grip is a nuisance.
But the seed is in the ground. I have ordered my second pen and I just received information that the pen has dispatched the shop. Some day I'll publish the name of the shop, that time is not now, though. I have received excellent customer service from their part and they answered to my email in an hour and the tone of the content was friendly, not like many times when the tone reflects the utmost hurry when writing the answer to the customer. Furthermore, the answer really did contain more than two or three sentences.
There was something for the starters.
