I love these Oxford Black n' Red note/account lined books - they have hard covers and are casebound like a book so last well and are very expensive if bought in a stationery shop.
I found this one for 50p...car boot sale of course. The person selling had lots of new stationery items but nothing else I needed or even wanted.
It's A5 and will be my new accounts book when I have filled up the one I'm using.
Stowed away I have one of their books with the A-Z pages and when I get around to it I shall copy all the 1,000s of books in my old and tatty Book-of-Books-Read into the new shiny one but as that will be a job taking weeks (months?) I've not started yet.

Yesterdays tennis saw Sinner win easily but Djocovic had to battle through 5 sets, including tie-breaks, and I thought he was going to start moaning again as he started to limp and had the trainer on.
Today it's Arthur Fery playing again - can he get through? We shall see. He is playing someone he has previously beaten so there is hope. I'd missed seeing Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool are into the quarter finals of the men's doubles, that's today too and Henry Pattern and his Finnish partner, who are ranked#1 are already through to the semis. I've been watching mostly on Red Button for choice of courts and that means I seem to have missed the newsy bits that are between matches on BBC1 and 2.
Very happy to have my day off coincide with Mr. Ferry’s’ match later today!
ReplyDeleteDjokovic vs Sinner should be an interesting match. I’m not a Djokovic fan, I found him over the years to be arrogant, but I quite like Sinner. His chat with Clare Balding yesterday was very pleasant, and he has a good sense of humour.
ReplyDeleteI hope Jasmine Paolini gets through, she is my favourite female. The red button channel is useful, but unfortunately doesn’t do subtitles, which I rely on for commentary. (Cochlear implant wearer) The housework and gardening is piling up. I shall be busy next Monday 🤣🤣🤣 Ann T
I have been watching tennis on the red button, less interruptions, I did wonder about Djokovic's injury, it did heal up suddenly, and he took a break at a crucial point for his opponents serve, it was anyone's match to the very end. Sinner lost to Djokovic in Australian open earlier this year, should be another interesting match, no surprise I will be shouting for Sinner. Some brilliant matches today.
ReplyDeleteThe Canadian certainly made Djokavic work. It was a quality match. I haven't followed Djokavic's career so don't have strong opinions, although maybe a preference for Sinner.
ReplyDeleteWe love the Oxford account books and are coming to the end of the current one. A new one will be hard to find now that W H Smith has closed down, I think.

That sounds like a task for cold, wet Winter afternoons.
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to have a nice new notebook, and to get one of the Black 'n Reds for just 50p is great. My handwriting goes to pot if I try and copy too much out in one go, it always has, so it's not just an age thing. 😄
ReplyDeleteI love stationary of any kind - I was in a Works the other day , first time in a year,
ReplyDeletelike a kiddie in a sweet shop 😂
