Minashi-by-the-Sea (Greetings)
#Wss366 #MastoPrompt #MicroPrompt 8/18
The caravan descended the hills of Neither Lang with hurried steps toward fabled Minashi-by-the-Sea, passing through plum and sakura trees in eternal bloom.
No guards greeted them, for none dared invade. The bones of three times three armies lay bleaching on Neither Lang’s slopes, and none knew what dread curse had felled them.
Instead, crickets in bamboo cages and bush warblers perched on open fretted enclosures serenaded them as they #filed through ivory gates. Then, the merchants lining the streets sang out their wares: salt-cured #limes, cocoa #nibs, flower petal silks, and food—sakura mochi, citrus tuna, roasted lime-slaked corn, and chiled sprats.
The travelers hurried to cedar-shaded inns, famous for eel stews redolent with rosemary and pickled limes. With their camels stabled and wares piled high for sale the next day, they sought beds with fine linen sheets sprinkled with lime blossoms.
Thus, Kurotsuki Kaibyō, the dream-stealing catkin, came to Minashi-by-the-Sea.

The world has now actually gone to hell in a handcart! I won’t talk about it here or I’ll fall out of my tree.
So, early this morning I successfully made some adjustments to a Kanwrite flex nib that was being a wee bit shit. It’s proper ticketyboo now. Yeah me 😉 The rest was spent gardening…
Contrary to popular belief, most of us Scots aren’t white, we’re blue. Like lobsters. And then when we’ve been in the sun too long, red. Like cooked lobsters. I was wearing Factor 50 FFS. And yes I reapplied 🙄
Great episode from the #YeahNahPasaran team, perhaps the hardest working hour that @sexenheimer and @slackbastard have ever had:

Don't know if this counts for #SwatchWednesday too, but one of my grail #nibs arrived this morning (thanks to my Auntie-in-law for agreeing to take delivery and carrying this back to me from the U.S.)
Mark Bacas "Architect Hybrid" on a JOWO # 6 medium nib. Dip-tested with Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-Peki.
Apart from Mr. Bacas, massive thanks to Lisa, who handled my order from the first enquiry email, right to the (ecstatic, enamoured) feedback sent I her this morning. 🥹
🤩 That nibs!

Angehängt: 1 Bild Die neuen Comptoir Federn (um 1900) warben damit für jede #Handschrift die passende Feder zu haben. So sei die Eisenbahn-Feder ausdauernd für #Buchschrift mit elastischer #Feder und die Weltposfeder hart und kräftig. Eine Normal-Feder diente eher der Schönschrift mit einer "ganz vorzüglichen, mittelharten, feinspitzigen Feder" (HHStAW Bestand 425 Nr. 3109)
