Morning Sheep Time

Drizzly start this morning, customary two into the boss followed by damp insertions into the rest, Panda and Brambles slightly off theirs due to inscrutable sheep logic. Damp fleeces pressed against my legs rendered my jeans damp and smelling of sheep.

I remember Parker pens were considered a bit posh back in the day. When I was at school I had a futuristic set of a fountain pen and biro in brushed metal that I was quite proud of.

do people still buy posh pens? (Apart from fountain pen nerds, I know they will spend thousands. I just mean people getting stuff for the office or school). Or do they just pick up a Bic and be done with it? Do many people even write by hand at all now?

Also here the monitors and objects nearby are plainly recognisable whereas in the other pic they aren't, they're all kinda vague.
