  • 1p roadkill today

    got another 3 DVDs from work today. Someone is definitely having a clear out. I might follow suit eventually as we stream most things now but there is something I love about putting on a DVD and settling down to watch it. Even if I've seen it before.

    Have a great night everyone xxx
