Another Liverpool Santa Dash dashed with my son. The best way to kick off December running with 8498 other Santa's. And if you wondering what on earth I'm talking about, this from last year may help explain: alastairjohnston.com/santarun/

When I recently joined Bluesky, under interests I ticked books & writers. I think now it only fair that I pay back to other bibliophiles by sharing my Bookstack. It's a list of the paper books in my virtual pile that I'm about to read or reading. I hope you enjoy.

I can't quite believe that it's taken me this long to watch Powell and Pressburger's "The Red Shoes".

Stumbled on it on BBC 2 today and went from "meh", to "where is this going?" to smiling, delight, gripped and then almost tearing up. UK peeps, it's on iPlayer: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Drama about a young ballerina torn between two creative but possessive men - one a struggling composer, the other an autocratic impresario.
