Just received my before and after photos from a 7 week challenge I was involved in that ended yesterday. 4 weeks 16:8, 3 weeks OMAD. Start Weight: 120.5kg (265lbs). Current Weight: 113.4kg (250lbs). Goal Weight: 99kg (218lbs). Not a huge difference in weight, but an abvious difference in the body.

The Grand Lodge of New Zealand has our triennial Grand Installation tomorrow and I am to be invested as Grand Chaplain. I don’t how on earth that happened, but I hope to do the brethren proud!

Tonight I concluded my term in the Chair of King Solomon and was presented with my Past Master’s Certificate and Jewel. I was surprised at just how emotional the evening was. It has been an extreme privilege to serve as the Worshipful Master of my lodge for the last 12 months.

NPD: It’s Christmas Day here in New Zealand and my sister really came through for me! Parker Sonnet with 18k nib in Medium. Also gave me a Leuchtturm1917 Bullet Journal for good measure. Thanks sis!

It’s my birthday next week and I just came back to the game after a couple years away so I celebrated with a new set of clubs. A huge upgrade for me, and a sizeable investment so looking forward to getting back into it! Here’s hoping the reviews were on the money!

So I went out for another 9 today and I cannot believe it, but I made par on a hole! Not only that though, I did so much better all round! I put this down to better club selection this time around. Sorry for spamming (and the excitement over a pretty bad score) but I’m just so happy!

Thanks everyone for your encouragement during my transition from the driving range to the golf course. I just got back from my first ever time out on a golf course. I only played 9 holes and completely butchered every hole but boy was it fun! I don’t have a handicap yet, but imagine I’ll be high 20s

This Saturday I will be installed as master of my lodge, which means it’s new apron time! On the left is my MM apron which is coming up 10 years old, on the right my new Worshipful Mater/Past Master apron which arrived in the post today! Excited and nervous!

Just picked up my copy of RDR2 from the midnight launch here in NZ, and any hopes I had of playing it went out the window. There's no way I will be awake in 3 hours to play...happens everytime!

Info appreciated on this pen. It's a Summit and all the nib says is Summit 14K Gold I don't know if it's functional, but I just love these old pens whether they work or not. Plus, I picked this one up for cool $1 at a local Goodwill. Thanks in advance.

Not just NPD! I noticed a lot of people had the odd Jinhao or 2 in their collections so thought I'd give one a go too. Ordered the X750 in Medium and what do you know? It turned up the same day as my Spencerian Theory Book and 5 Copy Books! Also received my first round of ink samples from Goulet!!!
