This is the other Jin Yong novel I read years ago: Fox Volant of the Snowy Mountain (but I like the name Flying Fox of the Snowy Mountain better). Unfortunately, it's a very revenge-based story. But I like the detailed descriptions of the kung fu fights & the names of the moves, plus the whole idea of the martial-arts clans & Taoist sects.
Walnuts. My snack around the apartment. This is 4斤 (2.4kg). I'll have to see how long this lasts.
I'm going to start playing around with paper suitable for a fountain pen. The catch is, it has to be cream-colored. The two that are most widely available here are Rhodia (France) and Life (L!FE; Japan). I have 3 fountain pens & 3 inks.
My wife's new water bottle: the memobottle A7 (180ml) . She was looking for something small & thin to put in her purse.

Sorry, I don't know who took the picture.
Excellent use of the word 'trice', considering the situation.

Oops, I did it again. 😳
This fountain pen is a TWSBI Diamond 580AL, with a fine nib. It mostly replaces my Platinum Preppy, which I thought was too scratchy.
Leftover perogies/pierogi from yesterday, fried up for breakfast this morning.
