#writers First up is László Krasznahorkai inspired by his recent Nobel Prize for Literature award. I’ve not read any of his books and knew nothing about his work but having watched this video I’m going to have to add some to my TBR pile. #booksky

Back to @rtwparkrun.bsky.social after a double tourism weekend in Germany last week. I will be pacing 28 minutes today. A pacer day in October is a rare treat! #parkrun #loveparkrun

Tomorrow we have our final pacer day of the year, so if you’re chasing a personal best, tomorrow could be a good opportunity before winter begins. We have volunteer pacers aiming to finish at most times from 20-41, plus 45 minutes, for you to chase.

A graphic containing the words: Chase the pacer. There is also a photograph of a row of people with their backs to us, they are wearing pale blue parkrun pacer tops with numbers 40-20 individually on each back.

Morning walk Merlin recording included a Wood Lark, possible as apparently a TW resident (Broadwater Warren), but I suspect one of the robins was having a Rory Bremner moment.
