So much packaging. Big box with 4 boxes inside. Each box has another box inside. That box has polystyrene inserts holding the toner, which is wrapped in plastic, with a plastic cover clipped over the drum and a pull off strip inside. |

And I associate them with old peoples houses from when I was a yoof and being dragged around relatives house who all had them. Fabric sofas for the win. Weird cause after typing that I’ve discovered I’ve got some negative psychological association with leather sofas; old people and old people smells. Still, fabric all day. These are the first leather ones I've bought. I didn't plan to buy leather, but we had very specific size limits to get them up a flight of stairs and these the were the biggest it was possible to buy. |

One of two rolls of diarrhoea coloured anti-gravity parcel tape that I bought from Disley post office. Interesting fact: Disley Co Op is on the corner of Cooperative Street, but they don't sell parcel tape. Attachment: 20201017_122846.jpg

That Oliver Twins compilation looks tempting, but I've barely touched my Evercade since buying it, although mainly due to a lack of time. |

But they're only £14.99.... That's the beauty of them! Seriously though, I've been waiting for Xeno Crisis for ages so I'm pleased with that. I've got to buy all of the cartridges now though because of those little numbers on the spines. |

Some slightly unconventional cleaning products. Attachment: IMG_20201020_142900.jpg Although I've got some permanent ink remover, it doesn't seem to shift everything, so I've gone for the dry wipe marker approach. The cocktail sticks will be handy for getting into cartridge/console grooves. |

Quickest and easiest way would be buying preconfigured memory card on ebay. Literally just plug it in and you're away. The faff came with getting the games with the right filenames in the right location on the USB drive. |

Been getting some shoulder pain while working from home and went down an input device wormhole. Ended up wanting a big graphics tablet in the end and almost spent £100 on a new XP-Pen Deco 3 before seeing one come up on eBay for £40 (supposed to be opened but unused but it’s been used - see what seller says back). Arrived this morning and after a bit of faff with settings and retraining my brain a bit I must say I’m very impressed! I had a cheap Wacom tablet yeeeeears ago but this thing is something else. Very pleased. |

Bought these the other day. Bass gets a bit muddy but they work very well at blocking out my wife's work meetings and there was an extra £10 off voucher too so only £20! 60hrs battery life allegedly too. |

Two and half grands worth of windows (including the bedroom one which isn't pictured). Not a very exciting purchase but, given how utterly fucked the previous old-school single glazed sash windows were, a very neccesary one. The flat's already noticeably quieter, which is a factor I hadn't bargained for. |

Also: my living room and the windows aren't actually a horrendous creamy white colour; the phone-cam just apparently really did not enjoy dealing with the light levels. |

The new iPad Air 4. There’s a £100 jump in price from the 3, but removing the home button makes it feel much more modern and it’s super fast. |
