Midori Pocket Diary Dog 2027 (B6)
The Midori Pocket Diary Dog 2027 in B6 format is a monthly and weekly planner on Midori MD Paper – featuring playful dog illustrations that run throughout every page of the year. The PVC cover protects the contents on the move, whilst the thread-sewn binding ensures the planner lies completely flat when writing. Perfect for anyone who wants to organise their day-to-day life in a structured way with a smile.
Features
- Midori MD Paper: The cream-coloured, slightly textured paper is bleed-proof, low-fibre and fountain-pen friendly – inks dry cleanly without smudging or feathering. Particularly well-suited for fineliner pens, ballpoints and fountain pens with medium nibs.
- Thread-sewn binding: The planner opens completely flat – there are no fold edges on either side to get in the way of writing. This also makes it easier to write across the double-page spread.
- Monthly block + weekly plan on double-page spread: Month views January 2027 to March 2028 (15 months) as an overview grid; the weekly planner January to December 2027 is divided into a left-hand page with daily entries and a right-hand notes page – structured yet with plenty of room for creativity.
- Index tabs per month: Labelled tabs (1–12) allow you to jump straight to each month's page without flipping through.
- Ribbon bookmark: A slim silk ribbon marks the current week or frequently used page permanently.
- PVC protective cover with pen loop: The transparent outer cover keeps the planner clean, and the side pen loop holds a slim pen or fineliner.
- Extra pages at the back: Grid pages for free notes, a "My Memories" page and a personal information page complement the planner section.
- Dog illustrations: Each month page features its own design – lively, colourfully outlined dogs that capture the mood of each season.
Use & Tips
- Fountain pens and ink: MD Paper handles wet inks well, but needs a moment to dry – with very moist fountain pen inks, wait briefly before closing the opposite page. Fineliner pens and gel rollers work smoothly and instantly.
- Make use of left/right weekly planning: The left-hand weekly page works well for appointments and to-dos, whilst the right-hand notes page is ideal for meeting notes, shopping lists or short diary entries – keeping both visually separated yet together.
- Use the PVC cover as a holder: A slim B6 notebook can be slipped into the transparent outer cover – practical as a combined everyday set to take with you.
- Fill the pen loop: Slim pens with a maximum diameter of around 10 mm fit in the loop – a 0.3 mm fineliner or a compact ballpoint sits securely there without straining the cover.
- Grid pages at the back: The squared extra pages work well for habit tracking, small sketches, budget notes or spontaneous lists – without needing to carry a second notebook.
For Planner Enthusiasts
The MD Paper in this diary is the same paper Midori uses in its MD Notebooks: a slightly cream-white, calendered paper with a smooth yet non-slip surface. It is neither acid-free in the archival sense nor document-permanent in the classical sense – pigment inks from fountain pens sit well on the surface, whilst water-soluble inks may run in high humidity. The thread-sewn binding (machine-stitched) is robust enough for daily use over a full year; the paper waves slightly with heavy ink application but remains dimensionally stable. If you understand the planner as a creative object – with stamps, washi tape or watercolour markers – you should use water-based materials sparingly.
