Not bushcraft but just pressed the button on two fountain pens to use with some leather covered notebooks I have. Fountain pens are a luxury but I think write nicer than many rollerballs I reckon. They often look nicer too.
What did you buy today?

Only if you use a fountain pen with a nib designed for an RH person.
Plenty of LH ink nibs out there for you if you ever fancy using one.
Get a left handed nib. There are pens with interchangeable nibs and you can get left handed nibs. Lamy is a decent German brand 27th interchangeable nibs and I think its available with left hand nibs.
You can get nibs for lefthanded people, but generally how well you get on with a fountain pen depends on if you’re an over-, under- or sidewriter. Lots of fountain pen enthusiasts learn to be an underwriter with their fountain pens, because then they can use almost any nib and don’t have an issue with smearing the ink. Also, using a fast drying ink helps with reduced smearing.
Google amazon erofa store. They're the company that sells a few Chinese brands, I think all the same company. Prices from below a tenner up to 60isg quid I think.
You can get a retractable nib fountain pen for 40 quid. That's a pen where the nib retracts into the body like a jotter type ballpen. Pilot at famous for these but will 9 iffy three digits costs.
Although what is a bent nib for? Seriously, what is the point of a damaged pen nib like that?
Do you mean a fude nib? They’re meant to imitate using a brush so that you can write Japanese characters ”properly”.
£180 worth of groceries.
But, It will suffice, (Bar fresh veg and meat) for at least 2 months I hope.
Have spent the last day squirreling it around my room here in the Tower house that guards the entrance to Glen Lyon.
(Trout beat, alleged early medieval font, access to complete `Buildings of Scotland` and Waverley model...)
Living my Best Life, guys.
Which no doubt will involve a lot of `hunt the provender` in the future...

New set of fittings for the garden hose. Spear and Jackson, £5.99 from Home Bargains 
The main 'gun' and the three fittings bits seem a lot more robust than the ones I had been using. Those don't even manage to last a year. Hopefully the S&J one will.
My brass nozzle doesn't do a range of watering patterns, so watering seeds isn't possible with it, nor can I get it to jet hard enough to wash the bird droppings off the slabs beneath the feeder, so a modern plastic gun type it is.
The same set is £13.79 on Amazon.

Ordered a large Onewind tarp/footprint . Seems to be low weight and compact packed down.
Maybe I should have gone to Lidl!
My poncho of several decades, despite patches and reproofing, just sieves out the bigger drops rather than stop them.
It’s been with me longer than the wife and offspring.
