Thanks View.

She came back from theatres an hour ago and so far all is well.

Mother was admitted to hospital this morning with a broken hip.

Sorry to hear this, and hope that recovery is straightforward.

And a +1 from me.

Absolutely. As my father is on his third hip and counting, I have every sympathy. (No idea he had a third leg, but that's what comes of not hoovering under the bed often enough, I suppose...)

Sorry I'm afraid I'll have to miss again.

So sorry about that. I hope she'll recover soon.

That made me laugh on a very long day!

Thank you all.

Carl, hope your mother is recovering with no surprises.

Is the next meeting on the 6th May? Trying to make sure that nobody tries to book me for anything else.

[dapprman]

Hoping to make it for this Saturday (assuming it's on). What time do people generally gather and how long do people generally hang around ? Also where do you tend to gather ? Might try to travel in with CarlC if he can make it this time.

[View from the Loft]

We meet in the Bierschenke, 4 Blomfield St, EC2 at noon. We'll be downstairs, and you'll easily spot us. As for how long, that's up to you. People start drifting away from about 2.30.

Unfortunately Micky and I will not be along this Saturday as we are having a May Beer festival this Saturday.

Also, at the last meeting, someone asked me to keep an eye for a Kaweco Naranja in Barcelona. I have found one which I'll take with me to a future meeting. If she wants the pen earlier I can meet her as I work near Liverpool Street station.

[Cob]

Apology for absence. I cannot be there tomorrow.

I hope the meeting is a great success.

Best wishes

So, who is coming on Saturday? More to the point, who is bringing new pens and inks to play with?

[dapprman]

I'll be there for my second meet, bringing the Caran D'Ache Sunset for fills (as requested last time).

[carlc]

Sadly I'm doing Scout Leader training all weekend.

Maybe next time (fingers crossed)?

ETA: just checked the diary - my wife is working every Saturday after this one until she resigns (the date of which hasn't been decided yet).

Sorry missed this post originally. I'm not sure when I'll make it again. Glad to see you made it to a meet though.

Wow Marisa! I can see you went ink-crazy on your trip. Your Japanese ink stash is starting to get as bad as mine

I can see some of my favourites there - especially the P & M/Writing Lab Old Burgundy & Vintage Denim. Fabulous inks.
Which Kobe inks did you get? And only one solitary little Kingdom Note?

And is that the Narita TN?! I'm really really jealous. I'd love one of those. One day, maybe..........

I wish we could be there this Saturday to see all you lovely Geeks - and all your goodies of course lol. We miss you guys.

Unfortunately Micky is still recovering (she is doing very well btw) from the surgery and I am still attending the German classes so this month's meeting might probably be another one that we will miss.

[Melbourne12]

I'd quite like to come along on Saturday, if you'd excuse a complete newbie. I'm just rediscovering the joys of handwriting after many years of keyboards and ballpoints!
