Hey Maillika

Sadly that GvC pernambuco rollerball pen won't take the Schneider Slider 755 XB refill because the refill is just over a centimeter short. The pen's own refill by Faber-Castell is otherwise lovely and lasts a very long time, similar to the Caran d'Ache Goliath Ballpoint Pen Refill that is reputed to write for an estimated 8,000 kilometers!

Before leaving for our vacation at sea, I found another pen online more suitable for Tommy: MecArmy TPX8 in either brass or titanium, both CNC machined and it's more expensive version, an astounding bronzed titanium MecArmy TPX10 with a fidget spinner on its end. Though a lot cheaper than that pernambuco beauty, I'll have to save up for that one! And I have higher priorities before even considering it!

While we are away, our villa is being rewired. It hasn't been done for at least two decades. Maman got a projects manager and an assistant in to oversee the work and keep an eye on potential theft.

I love porcelain, too. Just need to study more, but added to what I'm already busy with, that will be a lot of books. One area of antique porcelain that I do love is Italian Majolica which you'll likely see a lot of in Etsy, but beware of fakes. If you ever buy any antique porcelain, get professional advice because even fakes are very hard to spot unless to a practiced eye.

I'm being called so sadly have to go.

Take care, Mallika!
