I just wanted to get the pen moving again while I recover from a migraine. I'm not too keen on this Rohrer & Klingner Maroon ink, though. What do you think?

I’m also not sure about my upcoming slow reads, given that my wife is moving out this week to go and look after her mum, and I have a big meeting to rehearse for in mid-September. Could I fit in Yevgeny Onegin? I think so. I suppose migraine recovery day is not the ideal time to be planning anything. Plus, the emotional side of my wife’s moving out is bound to hit me in surprising ways.
