I'm happy to see your making progress. It's small consolation, but I've found it's a little better to be laid up in the winter when I don't go out as much, anyway. By warm weather, I have no doubt you'll be able to go and come as you please, and will certainly be ready for it mentally. I do have one thing to chastise yo0u over. Incompetent world leaders? Surely you jest! How anyone could possibly believe that is. . .oh, wait, I haven't taken my meds this morning. Let me do that and get back to you on this subject.
I love Dominant Industry & Colorverse bottles! They're so cute and easy to handle! And I agree with you, shading inks are so much better. It makes the text nicer and helps me to read it afterwards (I need glasses).
Thanks for that, Silvia. I much prefer shading inks. It makes the writing look more natural, especially now with computers imitating human writing so well.
Very nice to see you once more, Michael, and most important, moving your fingers quite normally, tough you'll still have to wait for some weeks to have them in full working order again. Regards.
Can't wait! It's been odd how, when my hands are cold, the little finger gets quite reluctant to obey my brain! Just hope it gets back to normal before too long.
Thank you for another informative, entertaining, and wonderful video. Mike, Recovery certainly never goes as fast as we like, but slow progress is still good progress 😊 Sending healing vibes your way. 🙏Best wishes.
That ink just went onto my 'gotta-get' list. I like browns/sepias but I'm a bit particular in my choices. Thanks for the review Michael. Good to see you are having progress on your nerve correction and hoping you have a speedy recovery.
A very intriguing colour. I'm not fond of brown, really (I was a child in the 70s), but that's rather attractive. Hope your hand/arm heals well and swiftly.
Good video as usual Mike, glad to see you are slowly on the mend, just take your time, my arm was, in plaster for 10 weeks followed by 9 months of physio and I still only have 5 degrees of proximal rotation in the left shoulder cuff, a permanant disability for the last 11 years, but I’m used to the problems by now, unable to raise my arm higher than my nose, not able to move my arm out more than a foot from the side of my body and cannot reach around my side to my back, luckily it was not my dominant hand, same as you the surgeons had to cut through nerve and muscle tissue to remove all the bone fragments from my shattered humerus and shoulder, a 9 hr op, but they managed to save my arm so I was very grateful, like I say don’t worry about deadlines, take your time and get better and before long you’ll be churning out another worthy tome, best of luck with using dictation, I never found it very intuitive on my Mac, take care, Mike
Always happy to see the Drake! The coolness of the brown was very apt for Winter Wood. Love anything made of leather, a lovely case. Wishing you a continued recovery. Thank you as always!
I have their Apple Blossom but haven't tried it yet. The bottles are cute! Is there a way you can zoom in more on the writing samples so we can see? It's hard to get a sense of the color from so far away. Is the ink waterproof or water resistant? I'm glad to hear it is a shading ink! Can you do a video of your favorite shading inks? that would be a great vid if you haven't done one already. I hope you are feeling better soon. I had two surgeries last year to release compressed nerves in my right wrist and left elbow...not a pleasant healing experience and I still can't open a jar of strawberry jam!
Hi, Tracie - Apple Blossom, eh? I do like their bottles and packaging. I think it's really impressive. The ink definitely is not waterproof or resistant. A wetted finger over the writing smears it immediately, I'm afraid. Sorry to hear about your nerve releases - hope your strength comes back soon too!
I am sadly packing up my Dominant Industry Downpour, because when opened it revealed contamination! So sad. But I’m going to give them another chance soon..

Thanks for my first chuckle of the day!
A good visit as always. Best wishes for continued improvement!

Love Dominant Industry Ink! Thx for the review!! Hope you are doing well.
Many thanks, Elaine - so glad you like them too! Lovely inks, and very nice people to deal with!

You are so welcome! - and many thanks!

Many thanks (youngster!) - I know what you mean, but this is a really good colour for me.

Cheers, Mike. Don't you worry, I'm not taking any risks with this arm, other than mild physio as instructed!
To me, looks to be a "truffle" (as in fungi) brown ... nice! That Drake is absolutely stunning! Wishing you a full and speedy recovery ... cheers!
Truffle brown sounds awesome! Although I think more of chocolate than mushrooms...
I think that says something about your tastes!
Good name - I rather like that!
Always happy to see the Drake! The coolness of the brown was very apt for Winter Wood. Love anything made of leather, a lovely case. Wishing you a continued recovery. Thank you as always!
Thanks so much, Paul. Really appreciate it!
Really like this one!
I'm still using it now. Lovely colour!
"Winter Wood"
Why September is the most common birth month in the UK.
Ahem. Well, neither of my kids were born in September!
Dominant is my favorite ink. Thanks for the helpful review. Get well soon!!!
Many thanks, Carey. Typing up comments today - and the hand's working pretty well!

@@writerlywitterings thank you! Thanks to your review I’ve ordered my own bottle of the winter wood from Vanness! It should arrive today!
I am sadly packing up my Dominant Industry Downpour, because when opened it revealed contamination! So sad. But I’m going to give them another chance soon..
That's sad - what sort of contamination?
can that pen case hold a Churchill cigar sized pen?
Hmm. It will take a set of three smaller pens - I'll give it a go and let you know. I suspect the Churchill would be a bit too fat for it.
