Happy new year all. So glad to see the arse end of 2021, the year that just kept on giving right up to the end. Our old fella pussy cat passed away on Dec 31st. For the first time in nearly 30 years we don't have a moggy in the house. It's a weird feeling :( Anyways, not done this for a while, so probably won't totally recall the weeks of noise, but here goes...

That's about it. Got the family to club together to purchase probably the most expensive book I've ever had at £60, Coil - The Universe is a Haunted House.
Arrived with bashed in corners (careless fuckin' couriers/bad Packing? who knows?) so not totally happy, and tbh, I'm not sure the contents warrant the price, so ho hum, as a Coil nut you never live and learn.
Also was given the Will Sargeant Bunnymen Memoir. Which is written in a nicely readable anecdotal style, though I've just past 200 odd pages and he's only just got together with 'Macul', so be forewarned if you're thinking of getting it. Old Will had a tough time as a kid, amazing he turned into the lovely fella he is. Also picked up the Nik Turner 'Hawkwind biog' on ebook, which I have to say, so far isn't all I would have wished for. Certainly not a patch on Joe Banks wonderful and exhaustive Hawkwind tome. Also gifted a 2000AD subscription for their 45th year in print, which I must admit I'm looking forward too massively.
Well, onwards and upwards. Keep safe y'all, and let's hope 2022 is a better feckin' year (please)!!!!.
