I was that same way regarding typing. I rarely wrote and I wrote horrible, but about 4 years ago I set out to learn proper cursive. I now journal and write quite a bit. I've noticed my spelling is better since I have no spell checker. Most of all I like the reflective peaceful process of writing by hand. I also can remember things much better by writing by hand. Seems to stick in your head better.

Excellent! Glad you got the letter and hope you enjoyed it. I had fun writing it and as you say...it's a nice process to do something that's so common (writing) but to do it with a bit of flair and style (cursive).
No problem, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I got the idea when you said you mainly wrote in black, I was the same way, only black, then the different shades of blue came in, now it's mostly those shimmering inks I used in the letter, as long as it is on quality paper the shimmer really comes out.

Dallah fiddy five for us Yanks to send them anywhere in the world. This last letter to Don took a while. I sent it shortly after the first one was sent out.

Your's can't be worse than mine, I read doctors' handwriting daily. I think the first letters had some markouts, it's part of the process of writing by hand. I apologized to Don in the last one as I was tired and my handwriting was particularly off that day.
Yep $1.55 it is. I need some international forever stamps. I only have domestic forever stamps.

It was still legible John. With great practise comes greater ability, precision and clarity...wait, what? Hmm, kinda Spiderman...ish.
Kudos to you for reading doctor's handwriting. That stuff is challenging.
It is mostly codes and abbreviations. I was better when I worked part-time for the hospital in addition to my day job at Walgreens. I read so many orders at the hospital I could nail the Doctor from just the handwriting style. My first job was at K-Mart, the managers brought the District Manager's meeting notes to me because they couldn't read them. Haha. I was thinking, I read Dr handwriting, but I gave it a whirl. I told them it said to, give the pharmacist a $20/hr raise. They never asked me to read the notes again. Haha.

Pure Pens and Cult Pens are very dangerous websites for me to visit too much.
Safe travels, Don!
Safe travels and good luck with the medical test. Enjoy spending time with the family as well. I found that Pure Pens ships very quickly, I'd imagine Canadian shipping would go smoothly, more so than US shipping as Canada has closer ties to England. With those shimmering inks, you'll need some good paper, like Rhodia or the like, on normal notebook paper the shimmering doesn't come through as much.
@huck1680 just mailed your letter.
