anything else?

There are a few other things that don't really fit in with the other categories that might be interesting, and they will be shown below.

KBDFans KBD67 Lite with Gateron Yellow switches and a Bridge75.
Numerous pens, including a LAMY Al Star, LAMY Vista and Waterman Expert (sadly no converters for the fountain pens yet).
Apple Watch Series 6.
Sennheiser HD 600, Bose QC35ii, FiiO FH3 and a FiiO BTR5 as a source. Also nothing ear (a) for wireless earbuds.
Q Acoustics 2020i (got for £50 at a local charity shop!) and a Marantz receiver to power them.
Canon EOS 550d with lenses from Canon and Tamron.
