@sarahasmith.bsky.social: a trip to Morecambe must include a stroll along the prom (pier review) and a visit to The Old Pier Bookshop. More previously loved tomes than the library at Alexandria. I survived L-Space but your wrath when I start my haul before completing 'Mindset'...? 🥶🙈 #booksky

The Haunting (1963) is on BBC2 at 23.00 tonight. I think it's one of the most genuinely creepy films of all time. It’s basically a masterclass in psychological torment, where the scariest special effect is your own brain filling in the gaps.

Sorry @sarahasmith.bsky.social. not this week...but @j4vv4d.com snuck in at number 10... 😳😉 ...so not all bad in cyberland... 🤷‍♂️
