New pen day. Won this Parker 45 in the #FPUK Charity Auction in aid of #Mind #FountainPen

Currently wrapping presents for my red tier #fpsecretsanta it's surprising how much I can end up writing when I get into a flow explaining why I've chosen each #FountainPen to gift.

The absolute feeling of joy when you discover that the Christmas cards you took a gamble on, are in fact fountain pen friendly and the ink hasn't feathered at all in the slightest and instead shows off some wonderful shading. #FountainPens #Christmascards

Also wanted to highlight two of my favourite #FountainPens my Parker 51 that was gifted to me by my grandpa before he passed, and my Modern Fuel fountain pen I have attached to my work lanyard.

Figured it was worth doing a State of the Collection as the #FountainPen #SecretSanta has now matched.

Spent part of a lesson yesterday on #fountainpenday discussing with my students about my pen. Some were amazed that I hadn't thrown it away yet as its been on my lanyard since January. I explained that when it ran out, I just put more ink in it. #FountainPens

Had good fun at the pelikan Hub last week. It went well despite being very small with only 3 of us signed up. But we had several members of the public come up to us and talk about pens and look at what we had which was nice.

Did something I very rarely do and kept a pen and ink in rotation after I'd finished it.
The more I use this pen and ink the more I'm enjoying it. Which kinda feels mad as it's one of more affordable/obtainable pens in my collection. But the ink is so lovely for actually staying purple on yellow paper #JustDyslexicThings and the fude nib just so versatile with line width, particularly if you use reverse writing. ✒️

Not used mastodon before so I figured I'd try sharing my currently inked pens #FountainPens
