'And still Mrs Miniver had not bought herself a new engagement book, but was scribbling untidy notes on the fly-leaf of the old one.'
My Persephone Diary is beautiful but it's designed for Mrs Minivers whose only commitments are Tennis Parties and Afternoon Tea.
I can see that I'll have to buy another diary to cope with Ordinary Life 2011.
Before I get into a dove-grey muddle.

    May I recommend the large Moleskin diary? Still attractive but great one week to view and then a whole page for lists for that week and the fly pocket at the back.
    ps We're looking forward to going to the RA sculpture exhibition and so your post has really prompted me to get out my diary...

    Yes, that would have been more use, Joan. I was seduced by nice Persephone pictures but it's a silly thing, there's no room to write anything.
    Really enjoyed the sculpture - apart from that last bit. They didn't go overboard with labels, which was good - because it does get distracting, especially if you're like me and can't ignore words! But did find that the audio guide was helpful.

    I bought myself a soft leather diary in turquoise blue because of Mrs M. It is still empty because my life runs on tablet diary week-to-a-view lines. I regret this but there you are. I found last year's untouched as well.

    Turquoise blue sounds lovely, Lucille ... too nice for me, too! I'd love a more glamorous life but I get on better with the week to view kind from the pound shop.

    It is useless to fight the seduction of stationery. There are a few day books lying around here pure as the driven snow...I just liked the way they looked and felt.

    I went and bought two Persephone diaries, because I couldn't cope with spoiling one and not having a pristine one on the shelf...
