Pencils and . . .

I do like a good pencil for whatever I’m doing. I rarely use pens. I like my Lammy mechanical pencils with a fine lead, but mostly I use a good 2B pencil . . . and they need sharpening.

I spied a posh mechanical pencil sharpener and thought . . . I want one of those. So I ordered one and here it is - it’s purple and beautiful . . . and it makes a brilliant job of sharpening pencils. Why have I not thought of this before? Thanks E.
