Free For All Friday - No. 925 by Steve

That is another month coming to a close!! July has been another hot rain free month here in France (with the exception of a brief thunderstorm early yesterday morning!). 

No doubt you will have seen the news about the wild forest fires here in France. Thank you to everyone that has asked if we are ok. We have had a few small local fires, but we are about 280 km (175 miles) north of the main affected area near Bordeaux. 

I've made a start this month preparing the Word file for my 2027 diary inserts. 

I'm sticking with Personal Size. It has been working very well so far this year, I had some reservations at the beginning of the year, but no regrets. 

I have made a couple of minor tweaks to how my fixed tasks are shown each week, but no other changes. I'm just populating the file with UK and French public holidays as well as key birthdays. 

Have you started thinking about next year for your inserts yet? As always it is Friday so please feel free to discuss anything Filofax related. 

Guest Post - Planner Gadgets - Hans

Thank you Hans for another Guest Post this time about accessories or gadgets to use with your organiser. 

Some time ago I discovered a new gadget, and I finally ordered it along with my last order.

Below is an image of the gadget in closed state. Can you guess what that could be?

This is a Raymay Pencut, a pair of Scissors in Pen shape and size.

The thickness in the middle is about 14mm, so it won't fit smaller fixed size pen loops, and there is no clip to attach it somewhere. But even if you have to drop it inside your pen case, it won't be in the way all the time, like regular Scissors would be.

Below is the Pencut in transformed state.

You simply remove the protective cap and pull the two sliders to the opposite position to pop out the finger loops.

The finger loops are similar to cable straps, but they are not scratchy at all. For me it works best when I use thumb and middle finger.

If you take a closer look, you can see that the steel blades extend to full length, this is definitely an excellent quality product.

Specifications:

• Full length: 145mm
• Diameter at cap end: 14mm
• Diameter at grip end: 15mm
• Widest point: 16.5mm (sliders)
• Weight: 36.5g

There's another gadget that I've been using for about 20 years now: A Swiss Card.

Some time ago I noticed that there are different versions available in the meantime.

Below is the Swiss Card Nailcare in assembled state.

The size is about the size of a regular bank card (ID-1), but the short edge is a bit wider, and it is a lot thicker than a card. This means that the card might not fit "alongside" card slots.

The long edge is a little less than the standard size, so it should fit "across" card slots, except for tight ones.

Dimensions: 82.3 x 54.5 x 4.6mm³, weight: 26.6g

Below is the Swiss Card Nailcare with the removable tools spread out.

There are three fixed and seven removable tools:

• Magnifying glass (simple single lens)
• Centimetre ruler with Millimetre marks, 7.7cm length
• Inch ruler of 3 inch length and 1/16th marks (at the opposite side)
• Ball point pen of 69mm length, a bit hard to use, but it works fine
• Glass nail file, 78 x 9.8 x 2.1mm³
• Scissors of 78mm length, max. 17mm cut length
• Pin
• Tweezers of 35mm length (less than that of a Swiss Knife)
• Four-in-one screwdriver
• Plastic toothpick

Do you know of other Planner related gadgets - except for calculators? Drop a note in the comments. If it is worth showing in detail, simply prepare a Guest Post and submit it to Steve.

And as usual: If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
