Today I published a lens on Squidoo.  Squidoo is a website where users can publish articles that focus on a hobby or a passion.  Squidoo calls each article a lens - because it focuses on a topic.  I have already written one about my dog Harry among other things.  I though you might want to check out my latest effort, 'The World of Mechanical Pencils'.  It is still in draft stage but I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions you may have.  If you feel your blog should be listed on the lens just let me know and I will check it out.

June 2010 Parcel - Indonesia

OS Wayfarer went overseas recently and I asked him to snaffle me some gear while he was abroad.  I didn't ask for anything in particular.  I told him I would be happy with a pencil case or a mechanical pencil but it didn't really matter.  'Whatever', I thought, 'surprise me'.  Oswayfarer was actually going to Indonesia so I was hoping for something different to what I can find in my local stores here in Brisbane.

Today I arrived home and my beautiful wife handed me a parcel.  OS Wayfarer had been true to his word and posted some goodies to me.  Two pens and two pencil cases.  Great stuff.  The items I received were a Mitsubishi Clip-Turn Multi-pen, a Mitsubishi Uni 'Pure Malt' Multi-pen with dedicated case, and finally a Sdip pencil case.  All three items were purchased at the Gramedia Bookstore located in the Grand Indonesia Shopping Town, East Mall.

I will put some more pictures up soon.
