Big Green Books

Yes!! It's lush!

BTW, your book swap book was returned to my PO Box (finally). It looks like it's had quite a journey!

Did you get the replacement?

Ha! Yeah, you need to eat the Maroilles quickly (which isn't a big problem!).

I got it in M&S, but I think Waitrose do one pretty much exactly the same.

It tastes good too!

I did the Lotto on Saturday. I probs do it once or twice a year.

Anyway, I won £30 for getting 3 correct numbers.

It wasn't enough to buy a horse, but I was able to treat myself to some of this.

It could be you!

So I read in your newsletter.

Nice view!

I've set up a Patreon where you can subscribe to get all sorts of extras around my books, podcast, live shows. I was squeamish about doing this but, well, *I* support various artists this way, and I've been taken advantage of a lot in life, and I'm nice, so why not?

Ha! I did wonder.

I think it looks nicer like that, don't you?

Do you like what I've done to the staff room?

Hello Bluepals, we are open

Hey Issy, so sorry for not replying yesterday. Took a day of the socials!

Thanks so much.

I'll send over a few suggestions a bit later.

You did!!!

Thanks so much. I'll email you tomorrow with all the questionnaire stuff.

It really made my day when I saw it this morning.

You did!

this is the seventeenth greatest thing that's ever existed.

I'm surprised nobody's bought one today.

Today i've sold 17 books.

I've sold absolutely no bombs.

I think this is conclusive proof that bombs are rubbish and books are ace.

We did when we got home.

How did you know this?!!!

Thanks so much.

I really hope it goes OK.

Yeah, getting older is a tricky business. Mum's 90 and ridiculously independent, but also getting a bit forgetful etc.

Hope you're doing OK too. Caring for stuff like this can be hard.

Thanks Julia

It's fantastic (and a bit scary).

She's got a few plans this week.

Her cleaner is coming tomorrow.

Tuesday is coffee morning at church.

Wednesday she's got an eye appointment. This one is big cos she's got to catch a bus into town by herself. But again she told me to chill out.

Anyway, she sounds on top form.

She say bye!

Mum sent Ollie a card with a bit of cash in on Friday (it's his birthday tomorrow),

Obvs it's not arrived yet. I told her not to worry, it would arrive tomorrow when Ollie was at school & that he'd open it when he got home.

I'll text her when it turns up, cos she'll only worry otherwise.

Thanks Lee.
