This year I planned to clear away all stuff after use immediately. But... look at the shoes on the left page. (I cleared them away after drawing, really. ;-)
Those cloudy creatures arised on my tissue where I wipe of my brushes and it would had been a pity to throw them away.
I received two stamp albums from a nice colleague. They smelled very strong like cellar, so I removed all stamps from the album, put them in water with vinegar essence, let them dry and began to assort them. Felt like a nerd, because it took such a long time to find a useful system and bring together all my stamps in this system... now I understand why most stamp collectors are retirees. ;-)
Could not resist. The exact article I required. :-)
The wolfsburg stamp has been on a letter from the registration office in Wolfsburg where I ordered a birth certificate. I needed this for my new ID card and passport. (Never needed it before, because it has been quite enough to own a valid identity card... )
Looks like assembly-line work? Yes, it is. I'm planning to check out the quality of several notebooks and calendars. I sent into the race: Moleskine Pocket Diary, Sigel Conceptum Notebook, Hoboniche Techo planner, Semikolon Petit Voyage, Nuuna Notebook Skin S, TeNeues Cool Diary and a Notebook from the Tiger store.
So I tried to find a theme which is easy to draw and which is good for using watercolors, fineliners, Copic markers. So I drew this Koi. Again and again and again. Does anybody need a Koi drawer? ;-)
In the next step I will summarize the results and reinforce those results with scans from each picture.
Here it comes:

We've been out for a meal. While eating we talked about this and that; immediately Robert asked me, if he would be allowed to ask a personal question. I wondered what would happen now... we know each other for approx. 10 years, and I didn't know if I should laugh loud or if I expected a horror question. I said "Yes, of course", and he asked: "Do you think that I trimmed my beard too short?" After that question I decided to laugh. Very loud.
Guest appearance in my diary from my beloved colleague Annika. Love this!
Gastauftritt in meinem illustrierten Tagebuch von meiner lieben Kollegin Annika. So schön!
Activity ist immer wieder genial. Jemand muss den Begriff "Kotflügel" zeichnen und macht das sehr gut. Eigentlich. Wir sind zu blöd und raten "Kackflügel" und "Scheißeengel". ;-)
We had a board game party and played "activity". Somebody had to draw the term "fender". Literally translated into german it means "fecal wing". So he drew a wing and a poop. We have been to uncreative and didn't have any idea, so we guessed "shit angel" and "poop wing". Very funny. ;-)
I got access to the old archive of the company where I work. I found tons of wonderful old pictures. But I’ve been very delighted when I discovered the old company stamps where you can see the development of the Logo over the years (from 1945 on). And I laughed when I saw the stamp „Bitte nochmal“, what means: „Again, please“. I think it is from the time when the secretary had to write letters with the typewriter and she made too many typing errors. What a destructive stamp! My colleague and I had so much fun with the imagination, that she got out a contra stamp „Machs selbst“ (=> Do it yourself!“) which I found fittingly in my stamps collection. ;-)
I have to admit: Sometimes it's no fun to run. One day it has been cold, windy and it rained cats and dogs. Our shoes has been soaked after 1 minute and I was annoyed because I couldn't see anything but bokehs through my glasses. But we awarded each other a bravery medal ;-)
Can't tell you how annoyed I'm about all the dog's poop on side strips, footpaths and green areas. Don't understand me wrong. I like dogs very much. But everyday I can observe dog owners who are unaware that they have to accept responsibility for their dogs. That means: They have to educate their dogs and clean away the dog shit. I guess approx. 15% of the dog owners are able to control their dogs. ;-(
At the #dentist. Don't like. And my #colleague which is always #hungry. (She's #pregnant) 😀 #illustratedjournal #illustrated #illustrateddiary #illustriertestagebuch #watercolor #teneuescooldiary #teneues #diary #kjm_kiel

Like someone of you know I'm rather unhappy with the Moleskine's paper reduction in quality in the last years. I'm using the Pocket diary since 2001, but this year I decided to change. The paper has become a too poor quality now.
I made some tests with other notebooks and calendar books, but it was hard for me to decide where I should lay my focus on for my basis of decisionmaking.

At least I decided which criterias are important for me: I want a calendar, one page for each day, black cover, A6. The calendar print shouldn't be too obstrusive and the paper's quality should be better than the actual moleskine's paper quality.
Now I decided to use a teNeues Cool Diary from the next year on. I've had some good years with my Moleskines, but now it's time to separate. We'll see if the Cool Diary and I will make a good match.
I also flirted with the Letts Lecassa, but the lines in the calendar are too black.
