Finally watched the first 2 eps of #DaredevilBornAgain  A little rough and slow but there is promise of growth and development as we continue. Carrying the same energy of the last seasons that hopefully this re-quel will reveal as we go further. DD is born again.

Rest in peace David Lynch. The Elephant Man & Blue Velvet were my favourite but this scene from Lost Highway always got me.

Beautiful afternoon in Nottingham with the couple I’m staying with for the first leg of the show. A magnificent city full of rich history, pulping art and style as well as the legend that was Brian Clough.

Grabbed myself a copy of the book for both research and good omen 🐁
