![]() ![]() The sight of my writing emerging in glossy-wet Serenity Blue ink on my Leuchtturm journal paper, enlarged and under the three bright LEDs, always lifts my spirits. Being a plastic lens, it is not too heavy and unbalanced. The main lens is comfortable and enjoyable to use. There is even a x10 loupe inset in the handle which is useful occasionally, although it needs to be held very close to the eye. It is a x2 lens, with a small area of x4 inset at the 9 o’clock position. Recently, I bought myself a new jumbo-sized illuminated magnifier, with a huge main lens of more than 13cm diameter. Perhaps another sign of my advancing years, is that I do appreciate a good magnifying glass. I think about my old school often and being back in its familiar buildings brought back so many memories. ![]() It was quite extraordinary: it seemed like no time at all since we were all at school together and now suddenly the topic of conversation is retirement. I spent the day at a school reunion lunch in Reading, where I enjoyed catching up with several of my near contemporaries, some of whom I had not seen in 44 years. The 5th of November 2021 marked the fifth anniversary of this blog. So here are a few glimpses into what has been happening. It has been a quiet month for the blog, but leafing back through my current notebook reminds me that there has been no shortage of stationery-related activity.
