The image shows a Hobonichi Techo Planner 2026 still in its packaging.
My hobonichi Techo for 2026.
In fact this year I ordered two by mistake.
Luckily the extra planner found a good home with colleague, who also has something of a pen/stationery habit 😀

A swatch of pastel purple ink and the words Sailor Nekoyanagi
Was given this lovely pastel purple ink, just for driving a car 🙂

Hayao Miyazaki's Dreams by Mystery Ensemble on Friday in The Hague
I decided to give my Parker 51 (2021) another try.
(I didn't enjoy it very much the last time, but I like it a lot better now)
Turns out, I don't own or can't find a Parker converter.
So I used a red quink cartridge from the back of the drawer.
Hmmm.

Yes, plz.

For those with an understanding of Dutch and an NRC subscription -- although one probably implies the other -- an article on a goldsmith and nibmeister living and working in the Netherlands

Happy New Year! Is this the year to break free of algorithms?
A one-panel comic by Glauco Villas Boas. A group of people stand against the corner of a wall. One reaches around the corner and uses a long stick to push open a door labeled 2025.
This comic gets shared every year with the date changed. It is by Brazilian cartoonist Glauco Villas Boas (1957-2010).
I have around 50 pens ranging from a couple of Pilot Petits to a couple of Pelikan Souverän M80x. I have around 25 bottles of ink (not counting the Diamine inkvent ones 🙂)
A stack of hobonichi diaries from 2018 to 2025
A hobonichi diary open on Jan 2 with a single entry "Stand up"
Time to start planning for the new year

Sorry it didn't work right away, I'm sure you'll get it to work 🙂
Fountain pen and ink
#Inkvent Day 19 - Fruit Cocktail, scented ink #2, didn’t feather but is so wet that lines look wider than they should, less crisp and precise. The yucky “fruity” scent makes it dud #2 for me. But we made it all the way to Day 18 with only two total real duds. Pen: Walltown Catsburg in Labyrinth Koi
It feathers…wasn’t even worth picking a matching pen. I like the color, but don’t release the ink if you haven’t figured out the scented + feathering thing 🥲
Day: 19
Ink: Fruit Cocktail
Paper: Cosmo Air Light

And I remember them fitting the Pilot 823, but I'm unable to check.
I may have to qualify somewhat.
Theres is a little wrench and some silicone grease that comes with the 580 piston filler, 700 vac filler (metal plate wrench) and the eco (plastic wrench).
I _assume_ it is included with any other piston filler as well (not the Go)
Day 19: Fruit Cocktail
Scented ink, smelling sweet and not too artificial 🙂

But it will depend on how brave I feel 😇
I'm in the same situation and I may take the pen apart.
You can disassemble the Pilot 823, using the same sort of key you get with any TWSBI.
I'll probably git it another try, to see if I can get it to show more of the blue/teal that you can see in the middle.
