Who uses a notebook, Really?

I have started to note down everything in my life... This new hobby (I like to call it) started from my crazy obsession of creating lists... (For everything)...Go to shop, get bread, get milk, run bath... (Weird...I no...)

So now my life is like a diary.. but a structured diary, so I plan what I write... then I write it later in the diary... (Crazy confusing organised stuff)...

So the reason for this page...Well I love notebooks... I bet you do too.. that's why your reading this...(Caught you!)

Right, So I have started to put together a list of the prettiest notebooks for you all to gaze over, because everyone needs to write down their thoughts don't they? But then I got distracted, got deep and carried on writing the below... I no in today's world everything is noted by the use of a computer/blog/social networking sites, but actual written documentation is something that we take for granted, who knows in 60 years if the machines we use today will still work?....Oooooh... (Deep stuff) its true though... Nothing beats paper... well only scissors... Then rock beats that... ;)

If we don't write we only forget, we lose the fun times in our life we had, the quotes, the jokes, the questions we ask, the silly arguments we have, and the little bubble writing of our name on the side of the page...

One day, when we are old and wise, and we dig out our pretty note book from our heavy wooden treasure chests to show our grandchildren, we share happy memorable experiences and silly stories of our youth .... and that's surely what sharing memories is about, however some may argue the case and prefer to give their grandchildren a USB Stick, so they can browse their self's... I is not one of those people...

Nothing in life is consistent, everything changes, and the evolving types of communication and how we socialise over the past 50 years has changed significantly... If a notebook brings personal handwritten detail for our future children, then its all worth jotting down 'that I missed my bus' (We could have invented human flying machines by 2070) though I hope not I quite enjoy the bus....

My favourite note book I have come across is this Union Jack fabric one from Emma Bridgewater @ £12, A Stunning little bundle of lined pages if I must say so myself...

So if you do anything this weekend, buy a note book, you will be thankful one day.
