Pro tip: Goat skin from my Istanbul market find beats expensive leather

I got some local goat skin at a bazaar there last year. Lots of folks say you need costly imported leather for good books. But this skin was simpler to fold and gets a nice look over time. Now I hunt for local materials on every trip. It makes each bind special and saves money too.

Back when I kept a cloud diary, it was just scribbles and guesses, not like the clear pics I get now.

People are really overthinking cloud diaries. Samf95's example shows it's mostly just messy notes about the sky, not some deep record. It's clouds, not a science project. Hard to see why anyone would get worked up about it.
