Forgot to share this earlier. Went for a lovely morning walk. It's pretty cool living by the sea. I try and get down to the seafront most days. It's fabulous for my mental health. I'm so pleased we moved to Hastings.

All the cool people are buying book advent calendars 😉

The Big Green Books Advent Calendars are a hit! I've now sold eleven of them! I'll send you 4, 6 or 12 surprise books, personally chosen just for you, to unwrap on the run up to Christmas Available for ALL ages. INFO HERE. www.biggreenbookshop.com/simon-likes-... Sharing is caring (thanks).

Hello Bluepals. I can't remember if I've told you we're open. We are. If I haven't told you, this is magical new information for you. If I have told you, it's a reminder of the magical information I told you earlier.

Hey. I got in touch with another school yesterday to offer them £500 worth of books, courtesy of The Big Green Books 500 Club. They are VERY happy! This is the second school I've been able to do this for, thanks to you. Join Here, if you can. www.biggreenbookshop.com/big-green-bo...

If you've not bought a book from me today, don't worry. You can do it tomorrow. I've sold 7 books today, so seven of you are now relieved of your duties. The rest of you, I'm ready for a torrent of book requests. I am a single human person, but I reckon I can cope with 12,500 orders. Ta.

I met up with my pal Luke, from Bloomsbury Publishing this morning. I'm being presumptuous saying he's my pal. But I hope he is. Anyway, over coffee we discussed the book world and moaned about stuff. It was great. He also gave me this BEAUTY! NEW GEORGE SAUNDERS! Out in Jan.

Hello Bluepals, we are open.

Man with stubble, "Small boats arrivals are 37,000. There are over 4 million kids in child poverty. And 4.5 million who can't get a dentist appointment" #BBCQT "We spend 90% of the media discourse on the 37,000. How much more could we achieve if we put that effort into the 4.5 million?"

What a fucking travesty.
