I always forget how bloody long #Hamlet is. Show #5 of #theatreseason2018to2019 is a trip to the beautiful #hackneyempire (which must cost a fortune to run) for the #RSC on tour.

Mary Stuart at Almeida Theatre | Friday, January 27, 2017

6:54 PM

Show #5 of #2017 is #MaryStuart, sounds like a humdinger, so lucky to get a ticket for the extended run. A long one, however, over three hours, so note: don’t drink anything beforehand. #Almeida run a great theatre. #theatre #london #londontheatre #friedrichschiller #roberticke

#5. One last pic. Not in my #pencilcase, but always nearby. My favourite pen, the one used everyday because I really love the act of writing. It’s bolted into my #hobonichi planner, and it’s a #Pilot #Capless or #VanishingPoint with an #EF nib. The nib retracts into the barrel with a click. No cap to lose, never dries out, always ready to write without a shake. Never leaks, and the clip acts like a grip for your fingers and stops the pen rolling off onto the floor. And the nib is as smooth as you like, if you’ve never used a #fountainpen, this is the one to get. Your hand and arm won’t hurt writing with this - ballpoints need so much pressure to make a mark, but this doesn’t. So much love for this pen. Filled with #Diamine #RedDragon ink. One of my friends took a very close interest in this pen a while back, which led to an anonymous tip to their other half and a particularly good Christmas present. Beg, borrow or buy one. An absolute must. #stationery

#4. From left-to-right: #Pilot #Penmanship, bargain, ultra-fine nib fountain pen. Finer than any other #EF nib around, bit scratchy but lovely; #Lamy #Safari with #EF nib. Another bargain fountain pen, used for signing cards. Both fountain pens filled with #Diamine #Ruby; #Apple #Ethernet #Thunderbolt adapter. #handy; #Pilot #C-2 #ink #rollerball pen, the pen that is handed out for other people to use if required, lest they destroy my other pens; #Sakura #Pigma #Micron #005 in black - permanent black ink for marking. #pencilcase #stationery #pens #pencilcase
