Almost the wrong cap

[vivdunstan]

Just refilled my main bedroom fountain pen(*) with ink, and in my confusion tried to cap the pen after with the ink bottle lid. Oops. Luckily no mess! As someone with weak neurological hand control I find fountain pens much easier to write with, and smoother than especially ballpoints. But I need to use piston filler or similar to refill, to manage with my hands. But that works. And yes I probably need a fountain pen icon for here ... (**)

* Lamy 2000, medium nib, refilled with Diamine Chocolate Brown ink. My Lamy 2000 fine nib in the sitting room is one of my top 3 favourite fountain pens. But I have a medium nib one for bedroom scribbles.

** P.S. And now added an icon. Of my favourite pen, in use. With a glass of wine beside it.

After reading this post last night I finally decided to pull the trigger and just order the 2000 that’s been on my wishlist forever. What am I waiting for?

I hope you love it! I put off getting mine for ages, deterred by the design. But I took a leap of faith, and I absolutely adore it. The pen vanishes into my hand as I write - in a good way - and it is a rock solid reliable pen with a great filling mechanism.
