Almost November. Our Passion Flower is still passionate.

I take some days off. And have to force myself … (But watching commented chess tournaments online seems to be okay for me)

Two pages of the book The Facit Model; ©Spector Books

One of my favourite mechanical typewriters is the Facit TP 2 (PDF), built in the late 60’s. It has an extraordinary carriage design that moves in a tube. Its building quality is great, and typing with it is a pleasure.

This week a great book arrived at my book shop: The FACIT Model – Globalism, Localism, Identity. Next to many great illustrations it tells the story of a famous Swedish brand in the period between 1922 and 1998 and contains interesting interviews.

Next to Faber Castell Hazelnut ink I have Rohrer & Klingner’s Astoria I use with a glass nib or brushes. And Pelikan’s Brillant Brown that has a nice dark tone and some shading.

Welcoming Autumn with Faber Castell Hazelnut ink. Brown is not my favourite colour, but I like the shading of this. And it fits for the season.
