One of the things I'm sad about having dropped in 2025 is my vomitbook habit. This is largely due to the complete unavailability in Cairo of the slim pocket-sketchbooks I'd grown accustomed to using.
I picked up a small leatherbound sketchbook from Venice some time ago though and I was waiting for the right thing to utilize it towards. It's around the same dimensions as the pocketbooks I'm used to, but much thicker in terms of page-count. Figured I might as well utilize it as my regular carry throughout 2026 (or however long it'll last). The thickness means I can't carry it around casually in my back-pocket, and need to have some form of bag if I want it on my person at all times, which is something of an inconvenience, but I suppose we can make it work.
