I did have a nice little surprise on my trip. Whilst acting in my usual capacity of shopping bag carrier, I glanced up and there before me was my kind of shop. Woo-hoo, a real live in the flesh specialist writing instruments retailer. Suddenly I was promoted to shopping expedition leader. The first “full-size” specialist writing instruments retailer I have visited in my life.
The shop-ladies were nice and I had a few trial runs with some fancy pens and pencils. I was quite taken with the Montblanc Meisterstuck Solitaire Platinum-Plated Facet pencil, but then reality set in as the price tag had 4 digits before the decimal point. Still, nice to dream.

Hi Dave
ReplyDeleteGood to see you back 'home'. Sounds like you had a good trip. You should know that you (and your postings) have been missed.
Welcome 'home'

Wow... 4 digits? That's one heck of a pencil! But it does look epic I'll have to admit. =)
ReplyDeleteAlso, welcome back.
Absolutely no pencil is worth 4 digits unless it is solid gold and set with flawless diamonds!
ReplyDelete4 digits? thats a bargain, sir!!! :)~ What else did ya get to check out? Anything more mundane like rare Pilot and Pentel?...
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!!
Didn't check out anything except the usual luxuries one would expect to find in a such a shop. Didn't do any other pencil activites on the holiday.
ReplyDeleteI must say, four digits for a pencil - WOW! But if you are seriously wealthy, why not? Unfortunately that counts me out.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog.
