Mr Fell

The bookshop always looks strange with no lights on.

3 days before my birthday, and to be honest, I'm at my lowest.
We just got quite a disappointing update on our immigration case.
It's not a rejection yet, but the chances don't look good.
My savings are running out, and we can't work in France.
So I'm going to run a big originals sale on my b-day ❤️‍🩹

By all means!

My financial undertakings are beyond suspicion, thank you very much.

If only we knew someone who could find the empty spaces between moments in order to carry out benevolent or nefarious activities.

The very best of luck to you all!

The innovative @quietpond.bsky.social has very kindly agreed to supply some of their nifty little stickers, as seen here https://bsky.app/profile/quietpond.bsky.social/post/3mcnfwx4kh22x I’ll include one with each book, along with one of my bookplates.

Winners can send me their contact information by electronic post, here:

To enter:

1. Reply to my tweetle (possibly skeetle?) mentioning where in the world you are.

2. Share the tweetle.

At eight o’clock on February the 14th, I will draw fifteen names from a hat to determine the winners.

3. Ensure that you’re ‘following’ me, so that you don’t miss the announcement.

Having reviewed my stocks, I’ve determined that I have fifteen copies of the Good Omens graphical novel, wonderfully illustrated by @colleendoran.bsky.social, to spare.

In the interests of trying to be as fair as possible, if you would like to enter the ‘I-gave-it-away’ please read on…

It’s nice when something happens to lift everyone’s spirits.

I shall announce details of the book gave-it-away later this evening. For some reason I feel you might all be a little too distracted at present…

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Please let us know if there’s any way to support you beyond offering a listening ear.

The difficulty lies with keeping the top layer of bread aligned with the lower.

Not knowingly, no.

They were perfectly good stamps. I wasn’t expecting them to honour the penny post, but that man looked at me as though I’d tried to pay with an owl sandwich.

They seem to have a new monarch every five minutes. You can hardly expect me to keep track of everything.

My dear, I am capable of handling Mister Vestibule at the Post Office all by myself.

A stack of books, still in their cellophane wrappings, stacked in a cardboard box. The title, ‘Good Omens’, is visible on a cover of one book and on the spine of another, and the page edges are coloured a deep and vibrant red.

I think I may have over-ordered for the bookshop. Is anyone in need of a copy of the graphical novel? Perhaps it’s time for an ‘I-gave-it-away’.

An encounter with a piñata! Crowley, Muriel, Gabriel and Beelzebub look on while I (Aziraphale) make an enthusiastic attempt to smite a hanging paper star, symbolising the deadly sins (or so I believe).

I was delighted to be sent this beautiful piece of art, created by @lonicera-c.bsky.social — what a wonderful reminder of my recent happy experience and a very unexpected gift. Merry Christmas to you all!

Hard as it is for me to admit, not everything requires garnishing with a cherry on a stick. And there are limits to what one can demand from crème de menthe. It certainly doesn’t need to be on fire.

Since the… ‘Reconciliation’, shall we say? Crowley has been experimenting with sweet flavours. Thus far, we have discovered that he enjoys very dark chocolate with chili, despises marzipan, and cannot be trusted with the contents of a cocktail cabinet.

You really can’t be left to your own devices for five minutes, can you?

It is, indeed! At a lovely little village called — well, I shouldn’t say, but it begins with Tad…

The happy couple having just been pronounced a ‘group of the two of you’.

It’s all going terribly well!

Were she here today? The Locksport Almanac by Schuyler Towne. I may be wrong, but I believe the pin locking mechanism was after her time.

I was thinking brafternoon tea, if we’re considering portmanteau meals.

A platter, laden with fruit and vegetables and glasses of champagne of far better quality than the suppliers intended.

Eastgate-by-Amberley’s W.I. are having a ‘bottomless brunch’ for charity. Crowley says that it’s a challenge.

Well, anything for a good cause…

I’m sure something could be arranged 💛

It is rather splendid, isn’t it? I’m so pleased you had the chance to meet in person! I may pop in to see all the shenanigans this afternoon when I come to collect it.
