Free For All Friday No 571 by Laurie

Is it too early to start talking about holiday preparations??

November and December are always so busy for me, I'm already thinking about ways to try to make it easier on myself this year.

One way I do this is to streamline my holiday preparations. I keep holiday-related pages in my Filofax with lists of people to send cards to, a 5 week countdown with reminders of what needs done each week in the lead-up to Christmas (including deadlines on mailing cards and packages to my overseas friends and family so they will arrive on time), gift ideas, etc. I keep these pages with my December weekly pages. Then when the holidays are over, I just move those pages to next December so they are there when I need them. This keeps me from having to reinvent the wheel every year.

Do you have a holidays section in your Filofax?

Or is it too early to talk about the holidays yet??

Philofaxy Meet Up - London October 2019 by Anita and Steve

Recently Anita and Steve both attended the inaugural William Hannah meet up in London.

Steve had helped David Round of William Hannah organise the event. You might remember the event was also advertised here on Philofaxy. It was no surprise that the venue chosen was Vapianos in Great Portland Street, the same location as all the usual Philofaxy Meet Ups!

David had brought along some of his early prototypes and others had of course brought along their own William Hannah leather notebooks too.

This is an early carbon fibre covered notebook, the material just didn't handle like leather does, although it does look quite stylish and modern.

There were also quite a selection of ring bound organisers at the event including this limited edition Gillio Compagna.

Steve was also pleased to see that Anita had brought along her new Van der Spek custom standard organiser.

After the main event a few of us made our way to Covent Garden for dinner and then we all headed home.

Thank you to everyone that came along and to Jené and Anita for the photos of the event.

There will be future William Hannah meet ups and of course Philofaxy organised ones as well.
