Sometimes I get the urge to write with a pen. I do my best to make sure that the lovely cartridge pen that Alex gave me at his and Sian’s wedding, I love using it. I had to cliean nib the other day. I was changing from blue to black cartridges. I was surprised how much ink was flushed out. Anyhow, I have box of black to work through, then I may go back to blue.
I have an A5 type journal, I try and write in it every day, even if it is only a sentence or two. I did about two thirds of a page earlier today. Not about anything particularly interesting, but there you go. I have also decided to have another go at learning to touch type. I’m reasonably proficient at about 15 words a minute (pathetic I know against a real touch typist), but I my worry is that I have such a bad habit in the way I type that it will be difficult to unlearn. The system I am using says in about two weeks I should be able to do it, but it will take me about six months to become anywhere near proficient. That’s a bit daunting, but I’ll give it a go.
