Daredevil: Born Again… is OK

Daredevil: Born Again Promo

I mean, it’s not up to the standard of the three series of Daredevil that were on Netflix, c. 2015-18.

Strictly Window Shopping

Shopping Day today. Choice of venue: Birmingham. I rather like doing this on a Thursday, and thankfully, my sexy government fandango being on temporary hiatus meant nothing cramped my style. 😉

I mean, it’s just too good! But the price tag prevented me (£16.50). Anyone feeling generous? 🙂 I should compile an Amazon Wish List.
