Happy new planning year! If you can’t find blotting paper - I live in Athens (Greece) and for some reason it’s in short supply right now - just tear out the flyleaf from last year’s Weeks. It works fine (and you get H O B O printed across one side, too)
I use 100 gsm pages from other notebooks that weren't fountain pen friendly or a thicker cardboard if I want something sturdier. I have grown a bit annoyed by a flimsy blotters 😄
I look forward to your videos every week. I was able to find loose leaf Tomoe River paper in 52 and 68 gsm at JetPens. Hopefully that helps. :) I like to keep my EDC clean as well. My Hobo Cousin has the stickers and deco and doodles. LOL
TFS. Always love seeing your updated pages on Hobo Weeks. I also use the Herbin (btw, pronounced "errh ban") blotting paper, and I find that it works really well with my fountain pens, especially for those notes I take on the fly.
I enjoyed this; so much info; I could do with a re-watch. Trying to decide how I want to use my 2 Weeks-and which two; I bought 6 to decide/for extra paper. (None of them seemed exactly “just right”.) Recently, we tried Legent bourbon. Have you guys yet? It’s good served oyuwari with a 2/3 bourbon to water ratio, for a nice winter toddy-type drink.
Just out of curiosity, how do you take notes for meetings, lessons or non-planning related activities? If you care to share? I've been carrying a fieldnotes separately to capture my work notes and I have an A6 cafe notebook in a chic sparrow cover for my technical/lessons (stuff I'm learning on the side). Wish I could combine into one...
