Have you ever felt the arrow of irrational love? Expressed strongly, overwhelmingly, suddenly, frighteningly?
If so, you've got an inkling (literally) of what's happened to me recently.
I recently embarked on the use of a fine calligraphy pen. Oh, how I love pen and ink. While I'm sure the biro is a useful and convenient invention, it's really just not the same as inserting a cartridge into a pen and having lovely wet ink on a page. I wish I'd been born when everyone used feathers dipped in inkpots, though I know my blog would look a lot messier.
Not only do I adore jet black ink, but jet black ink adores me. It can't resist me. It bursts straight out of cartridge and covers me.
There's a downside to infatuation. Ink, you did not need show your affection so. A card and chocolates via express post would have been just fine.
But everyone has a different way of expressing love. I guess I just have to get over that.

Delighted as I am to read of your new lover, WHAT ABOUT YOUR SECRET SATURDAY NIGHT PLANS? Success, failure, somewhere in between - I'm sure you promised us you'd tell all after the event.
I just love the suspense.
And the teasing.
And the holding back.
Oh God.
I think this is a metaphor for a new lover.
Maria, in 2007, in ink circles, hasn't green become the new black?
Green, apache?
You're just jealous.
