When I choose to get back into journaling and writing down my thoughts and affirmations and all I used any old pen for the first month and I promised myself a nice fountain pen if I could maintain my journal for a calendar month. 

I was in Reading on the month anniversary and I popped into WHSmith and looked at the pens, they have a cabinet with premium pens in and I got this Cross Bailey I got the cross ink cartridges too and I was looking forward to getting home and using it. 

I was really disappointed so much so I gave up on it after a month. It feels nice and it’s comfortable in the hand but a very dry writer for me and would constantly run dry and need a shake, work for a line the need a shake. It never got better I tried cross ink and standard international ink cartridges but always running dry. I have lots of fountain pens and this is the only type that has ink starving. I would avoid and go for something else if I were you. 

✔️Good price for premium 

✔️Nice classic looks 

✔️Widely available 

✔️Fits International Ink Cartridge 


✖️Ink starving 

✖️Expensive own brand cartridges 

✖️Frustrating to write with

Sales, shopping and storms

Image
  Last night I listed some of the golf balls on eBay, the Titleist Pro V1’s and the TruFeel’s. Now it’s a crowded market on eBay so I placed them on promotion to be listed top. This morning I had sold both listings not for much but it’s a start.  After a quick visit to Tesco it was down to the local parcel shop to send them off.  It was an afternoon of preparing more golf balls to be listed and then a quick walk up Rowley lane and a big haul of 28 balls. When I inspected them at home three of the more valuable ones had small splits so we’re condemned to the bin.  I’ll keep you posted on more sales, have fun stay safe πŸ‘πŸΌ

Afternoon walk

Image
  It was an afternoon walk, I headed up to Rowley path as I feel there might have been a few Christmas golfers. I made it up to the top of the path and back. I found 11 balls today which was good going. The farmer had also been out with the chainsaw making the path safe by cutting some fallen trees. He’d left a can of two stroke petrol/oil mix near the tree so I grabbed it and left it on a fence post near to the farm for them to find in the daylight. It was a nice walk, I’ve finished Phoenix and I’m onto a new book so look out for a bad review.  Have fun stay safe πŸ‘πŸΌ
