needlecord jeans, kicking myself for not going for some stuff i hadn't seen before on ebay a couple of weeks back. Would have been great.
Large amounts of Grateful Dead early years stuff. I'm mainly into pre-'74 stuff though I did listen to In The dark a couple of nights back and it was pretty great.
Dory Previn, probably need to get the 70s catalogue. Really enjoying the compilation i have even if it does mix up chronology including the late 50s lp.
TAmam Shud great Australian psychedelic concept stuff plus the later singles.
Downliner Sect the rock Sect's In just picked up the repertoire version after having picked up a vinyl copy for 60p when i was like 14 and having loved it since. looking forward to getting the guitarist's recent book when my new edition of Ugly Things arrives.

Finally getting to put out some new seeds into plant containers on my balcony and getting to water them regularly. Should have learnt from last year that the large amounts of rain isn't enough to keep things going. I think all the trees I had grown from seeds planted have died. Though i do still have a lemon thing on my bedroom windowsill.

Reading HUnger by Knut Hamson, only taken me siomething like 30 years to get to do so
also Deal by Bill Kreutzman the Grateful Dead drummer. NIce read, not sure how much of it is ghost written. It's got a nice conversational style to it anyway.
& Peter Ackroyd's london The Biography which I've wanted to read since reading the Observer or Guardian review of it when it came out.

Was getting into Line of Duty but now got absolutely up to date with it and found some major flaws in the last episode that were almost join the dots bad. Shame I had enjoyed that mainly.
