Are painters ever artless individuals?

My half-day at work. I planned to write today's entry in my long, free afternoon, but here we are, nearly bed-time, and I'm only just doing it. Not that I was busy, mind. Just that I am a world-class waster of time. What I did this afternoon: went to Bunnings to buy some basil seedlings and a tomato cage; let a sparrow out of the cat enclosure; went to the Post Office to pick up a parcel.

According to an email I received from a stationery shop, today is World Fountain Pen today. I'm not sure how we're meant to commemorate this momentous day. Buy fountain pens, I suppose. I already have two, so I won't be doing that. One in my bag, one at work, but both currently on my desk at home. Both basic LAMY ones to use with bottled ink, but with beautiful extra-fine nibs. I do like a pointy nib.
