Moleskine and Waterman pen
moleskine notebooks are my constant companion – my preference always being for the squared paper pocket sized ones. And my trusty Waterman fountain pen – the ink does not bleed into the moleskine paper. And here’s the proof:
Some people seem to have trouble with fountain pens on Moleskines – perhaps they use a really broad nib?
The other day I pulled out my pen as usual, and noticed to my horror that the pen is now looking a bit careworn. It’s only about two years old, but the enamel is starting to show signs of wear. The pen itself is still wonderful to write with – one of the few fountain pens I can trust on an aircraft not to leak – but I have to acknowledge that sometimes sharing a pocket with my keys is not a good idea!
Ah well, it is showing its history, having been carted around folk festivals, written in my journal on the Great Wall in China, and it carries many memories in its short existence. This is the pen that wrote the entry on the Wandering Moleskine Project (Moleskine number eight), as well as the one that sketched the outline of my shed refurbishment.
Cheers
