Starting to draw up for a blog post my own personal list of favourite ABBA songs. If I can get this down to Top 10 (not ranked, apart from maybe top 3) that will be quite something. I've started sifting through the big hitters, but I like many lesser known ones too, so there's much recapping to do.

And yes I probably need an ABBA Dreamwidth icon too.

EDIT: And here is the first draft version of my top 10 list. Listed in chronological order of release. Need to mull a bit more though, and figure out a top 3. I clearly have a serious preference for late era ABBA!

• Thank You For The Music
• Knowing Me, Knowing You
• Angeleyes
• Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)
• The Winner Takes It All
• Andante, Andante
• The Way Old Friends Do
• Head Over Heels
• I Let the Music Speak
• One Of Us

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.

Picked one, though I initially considered all of an Apple II (first computer I ever used), Commodore 64 (my favourite childhood computer), Apple Mac and a Sun workstation. Went off piste in the end, with a still from a 1967 muppets TV skit.
