Just occasionally, I find myself in the coolest room on the planet at the right time. #same.band

It was sunny in London on Sunday afternoon as we were wandering around looking for an open restaurant. Not enough sun, but it was definitely shining!
I recommend citrus chypres.

This person just followed me. I wondered why, so checked the profile and found that it only follows 22 older women from various countries. I wonder why? What next? A DM? 😁 Or am I too cynical.

HSBC worries me more every day.

The way that awful woman says she didn't have any time for J.K.Rowling (when she was known for her left leaning views and philanthropy) but changed her mind once she started campaigning against trans people. 🙄

I rarely see someone that makes me wish this hard that I'd thought of it first. I'm doing my best to be confelicitous about it.

I hope so.

Sarah McCartney @sarahmccartney.bsky.social · 6d

Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

If you fancy watching this film on YouTube that would be lovely. If you would consider pressing the button below it that asks to "give it some hype" that would be even better.
We're competing with AI nonsense and that's one way to let YouTube know that humans are watching.

Thanks. I found a Shaeffer Snorkel too. 😁

Just block the numpty. They love arguments but hate being ignored.

Sarah McCartney @sarahmccartney.bsky.social · 7d

I only go there, Waiting For A Train, London Transport and DIY perfumery. I have accidentally strayed into other departments 😬

Sarah McCartney @sarahmccartney.bsky.social · 7d

Following now.

Sarah McCartney @sarahmccartney.bsky.social · 7d

Not this time, but now I follow him on Instagram, I hope he brings her over to London next time as she looks equally cheerful.

Sarah McCartney @sarahmccartney.bsky.social · 7d

I understand. 😁 I told him about the fountain pen community on Reddit and he had never heard of it. He asked what it was and I merely pointed the way. 😂

The best reason!

Sarah McCartney @sarahmccartney.bsky.social · 8d

Thank you. I own nothing quite like it. It has a fine nib (both width and quality).

Sarah McCartney @sarahmccartney.bsky.social · 8d

I'd not met him before and what a great person he is to know. I introduced him to Reddit and fountain pen community. I hope this was a good thing 😁

Today I bought a yellow fountain pen from a gentleman named Adolphus Smith, who made it by hand and travelled from Ohio to the London Pen Show. I'd saved up for some special things and this one called to me.
Everything about this makes me happy.

A bright yellow pen with black markings.

A smiling black gentleman with a long white neatly trimmed beard, and black hat, holding my yellow fountain pen.
