World Book Day…
World Book Day coincided with me reading the last page of the novel I've been reading for two months. To celebrate, I stencilled my company name onto my new diary that arrived today. Unfortunately the diary is smaller than the one I thought I ordered. It's twelve months long, but the dimensions are far too small. It's been a long day.

My beautiful nib shirt doesn't fit…
It was only a matter of time. My drip-dry polyester mapping pen nib shirt no longer fits. It does, but I've been advised not to wear it. The chances of finding something with nibs on it is a thousand – no: a million – to one. There's just no call for that type of thing these days.
