Quality over quantity
There are various USB-C 4k panels you could look into, unless you're sitting about 2 inches away from it you'd struggle to noice. The Dell U2720Q offers the same USB-C connectivity and is vastly cheaper. There's of course more expensive panels to choose.

New desk mat, mouse and keyboard to go with the M1 MBA.
No idea how you can stand the UK layout of Apple keyboards tbh. That enter key is insultingly small and so I always opt for the ANSI versions.

I've had a used various 4K 27" panels (including the Dell U2720Q) and I'm just not a fan of 150% scaling. 200% is where I'm at.

Yeah thats the one I've been looking at but bigger. How do you find it? I've got a cheaper one now and it's a bit bobbly.

It's fine for me, if I'm hitting enter I'm using my hand from the mouse and hitting it on the long edge, or if I'm typing then it's a easy reach for the right pinky.
Like with most keyboards after a while you just adapt and muscle muscle takes over.
It feels nice, the mouse tracks and glides well. Being felt it may wear over time but I'll keep an eye on it. If it gets bobbly I can just run the bobble shaver over it.

Lockdown after Xmas isn't going to bother you one bit is it
Haha nope. Had a bit of spare money left after my recent house purchase so decided to treat myself. I haven't got to use it as much with life/work being really busy at the moment.
Big screen, the only way to make a PS5 look reasonable in size.

I picked up a new soldering iron to supplement my antique 45W weller magnestat iron. (a really old TCP-1) I also picked up a load of banana plugs, bnc adapters and some speakon plugs & sockets. The iron was somewhat determined by me accidentally buying the wrong tip. Bizarre pricing meant the "educational kit" which came with a roll of solder, an extra tip and a pair of xcelite cutters was about 30p more expensive than the basic iron only kit.

Picked up a P40 Pro+ and a Huawei sound x from fleabay. £703 for the openbox Pro+ from Germany and £140 for a new Sound X. Good prices all round

Thanks
we have a bureau which usually lives there but I fancy some kind of built in seat / book shelves - will see what the boss thinks Funny that. I remember seeing people's PS3s and PS4s over the years how they looked so tiny against 40 - 60 inch TVs. Now the PS5 looks big against those sizes. Then the PS5 looks tiny against 75" and bigger.
