| Midori Traveler’s Notebook – Full Size |
I’ve been all about my Midori Travelers Notebook (MTN) this week. I finally finally went to Michael’s (the craft store) and found some hardware for it. You can find the bits and bobs in the jewelry making department.
And see the elastic? I removed the boring brown one that came with the MTN and replaced it with a one that has some variation to the colors. You might have to look closely, but this one transitions from purple (on the left side) to blue. I’m thinking this elastic won’t hold up quite as well as the Midori, but I don’t mind changing colors so this won’t be a big deal for me.
I’m not thrilled with the pen loop – it’s too small for any fountain pen of size – maybe I need to stretch it a bit? Right now, I have a Stylist in there. You may wonder why I’d clip the loop to the front of the book instead of the back? I don’t want the clip to scratch any surfaces I may set the Notebook upon.
Here’s a look at what others have been up to this week . . .
FP Quest reviewed an ink I’ve not tried.
Informal Scribble made a beautiful mess.
Pen Paper Pencil reviewed an ink that I didn’t love, but can appreciate.
The Pen Addict reviewed a pen that is going to find it’s way to my wish list!
The Unroyal Warrant talked about Scout Books – did you know about this brand? Not me.
Hot Topics I’ve been following over on Fountain Pen Network . . .
This person was looking for pen suggestions. Not an uncommon theme on FPN, but so many responses came in – probably because the writer was detailed with his questions?
Scented inks – love or hate? Discuss here.
That’s it from me! What about you? What do you have your eye on?
Have a great weekend! xoxox

Gioco su queste piattaforme da qualche mese e va detto quella benedetta ruota mi ha dato piu momenti buoni di quanto immaginassi. Non sono uno che sbrocca con le puntate, in genere butto due o tre euro a spin e amen. Il lobby di Crazy Time e parecchio ricco: fra le 2000 e rotti slot varie contando NetEnt, Play’n GO e Pragmatic, per cui i classiconi del calibro di Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza e Book of Dead ci sono tutti.
La sezione con i croupier e gestita da Evolution e la qualita si nota. Dealer in carne e ossa, con qualche tavolo italiano in certe fasce orarie, e i game show sono proprio quelli in cui perdo quasi tutte le serate. Di tanto in tanto mi guardo le stats dei bonus prima di sedermi, piu che altro per scaramanzia.
Il bonus di benvenuto che ti da Crazy Time in questo periodo e del 100% fino a 300€ piu 200 giri gratis, spalmati su qualche giorno. Ti danno anche un piccolo no deposit dopo la verifica dei documenti. Il wagering e 35x, che non e proprio una passeggiata, per cui occhio ai termini: si trovano le condizioni complete su Crazy Time Italian – Giochi da casinò live nel 2026: guida pratica prima di registrarti.
Sul fronte pagamenti ho poco da dire. Ho usato Neteller e i soldi arrivano entro le 24 ore, con la carta serve 3 giorni buoni. Accettano anche crypto, anche se io resto sui bonifici classici. Deposito minimo 10€, l’iscrizione in tre minuti. L’unica cosa che mi ha rotto e stata la fase documenti: mi hanno rifiutato la bolletta due volte per una sciocchezza.
La chat di assistenza di Crazy Time parla italiano e questo aiuta, pero dopo mezzanotte i tempi si allungano. Su mobile funziona senza problemi via browser, un’applicazione dedicata su Android esiste ma e ancora acerba. Sulla licenza MGA di Malta, quindi non e concessione italiana, cosa che a qualcuno non va giu. Per ora resto, senza aspettarmi miracoli.
Zbieram sie z opinia od mniej wiecej kwartalu, wiec troche materialu do oceny sie uzbieralo. Wpadlem na to przez znajomego, bo chcialem znalezc cos, gdzie kasa schodzi normalnie. Biblioteka gier w Fiery Play liczy sobie kawal roboty — kolo 3000 pozycji, co prawda w praktyce wracam do kilkunastu.
Dostawcy to te znane nazwiska: Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, NetEnt, kilka rzeczy od Yggdrasil. Book of Dead i Gates of Olympus nie moglo zabraknac, choc osobiscie wole te ciezsze automaty od Big Time Gaming. Na zywo dziala Evolution, z Crazy Time i Lightning Roulette na czele. Polskie stoly tez sie trafiaja, choc wieczorami potrafi byc ciasno.
Bonus na start prezentuje sie niezle: 100% do 2000 zl plus 200 free spinow, spiny kapia porcjami przez tydzien. Wager wynosi x40, czyli nic strasznego, ale i nie prezent. Aktualne kody i to co akurat leci znajdziesz na FieryPlay zanim wplacisz pierwsza stowke. Cos na wzor bonusu bez depozytu widzialem ze dwa razy, choc kwoty sa symboliczne.
Konto zalozylem w dwie-trzy minuty, prog wplaty zaczyna sie od 40 zl. Uzywam karty i Neteller, Visa i Mastercard smigaja, obsluguja tez Bitcoina. Kasa z Fiery Play trwalo do doby przy e-walletach, przelewem bankowym juz 2-3 dni. Na KYC sie troche zacialem — musialem wysylac dowod dwa razy, potem juz z gorki.
Na telefonie dziala przez przegladarke bez instalowania czegokolwiek. Wczytuje sie szybko, z tym ze stoly na zywo wymagaja dobrego zasiegu. Support Fiery Play gada po polsku i to nie translatorem, czekalem srednio 3-5 minut. Dzialaja na licencji Curacao — standard dla stron dostepnych z Polski. Wazne, ze pieniadze wracaja i nie ma cyrku z odmowami.
Been using Single Bet Calculator for about four months now, mostly on my phone during the commute, so take this for what it’s worth. The lobby is bigger than I expected — somewhere around 2,000 slots by my count, with the usual suspects in there: NetEnt, Play’n GO, Microgaming. Gates of Olympus and Sweet Bonanza get most of my spins, though the older NetEnt slots feel less brutal.
The welcome offer is 100% up to ?500 plus 75 spins, and you’re looking at wagering of 30x which is fair enough for the UK market. To be fair, it took me longer than I’d have liked — you’ve got 72 hours to use them, and that caught me out. They do a little no deposit bit as well — around 20 spins if you verify early, hardly a fortune though.
I’d say the live side is the stronger half. It’s Evolution running it, meaning you’ve got real croupiers, about 40-odd tables, plus stuff like — Crazy Time being the obvious one. Quality’s been steady even on mobile data, which some sites still can’t manage. You can see what’s running right now at Double Bet Calculator app before you deposit.
Getting money out of Single Bet Calculator have been quick enough — e-wallet took about a day for me, debit card ran the usual couple of days. You’ve got Visa, Mastercard, e-wallets and Bitcoin, minimum’s ?10. My first withdrawal got stuck in checks — they wanted a utility bill which took 48 hours.
Registration’s quick, no messing, they hold a UK licence with all the safer gambling tools baked in. There’s no dedicated app, it’s a browser thing and I’ve had no issues. The live chat at Single Bet Calculator answers within a few minutes usually, but you’ll wrestle with an automated agent before a human shows up. The actual agents knew what they were doing.
