Early morning rambling (weather, pens, etc.)
I got to bed around 8:30pm, then got up at 3:30am. I am keeping such weeeeird hours.
It's cold out. I know, because I had the bedroom window open briefly. We have hot-water heat here, and the pipes in the floors and walls sometimes make it almost too warm in here in our top-floor apartment. So I sometimes have to open a window or two, to cool things down.
I love when it's so quiet too. We live on a main drag. But sometimes in the middle of the night, there is NO traffic, anywhere. It's very peaceful.
I love that there are two houses across the way that still have their Christmas lights up. They are helping to keep the dark away and make things cheerier. And also helping me not feel guilty for keeping *our* decorations up. We *need* pretty lights in January!
It's going to get COLD by the end of the week, with highs in the teens (F.) and lows in the single digits. Better make sure I have all my warm sweaters and flannel shirts washed and ready to go.
Oooo oooo! My yellow Sailor 1911M Colors fountain pen should arrive next week! I plan on inking it with Pelikan Brilliant Brown ink. It's a cartridge/converter pen. But it's gonna be niiiice. :-) I got out the bottle of Diamine Sapphire Blue for Cat'r. I bought it especially for his beautiful blue Lamy Studio pen. The ink matches the colour of the pen perfectly. He uses Lamy Blue-Black in his Lamy 2000.
'Nuff for now.
