I had one from a cracker for a while but that disappeared somewhere. Anyway, it’s the OHTO Petit-B and it arrived today from Cult Pens. Here it is with an extra small Moleskine Volant for a complete tiny note taking solution! (Although the Moleskine is 1cm too long for my wallet)

It’s got a nice fine tip and writes pretty smoothly – not quite as nice to use as my favourite pens the Pilot G-Tec-C4 and the Pilot V5 Hi-Tecpoint (0.5mm) but I can’t get them in my wallet.

I think that’s a suitable inane post to restart up this blog!

This is the big pile of film I’ve accumulated from ebay to use with my new film cameras.

I don’t really do new year’s resolutions but this year I’ve decided I’d like to take more photos so I’ve bought a few film cameras (a polaroid and two 35mm) to mix things up a bit and I’ve set up a photoblog to encourage me to keep going with it. You can see the latest photo from the photoblog in the sidebar on the right and you can head over there to see how I’m getting on so far.

(Also using this to test blogging from my flickr account following the server move)

Polar bears in the Thames, that’s what.
