Day Five - An extra stamp...

[byslantedlight]

...on my Waterstones card, because I was fumbling with my new wallet - they take ages to get used to, don't they? - and happened to ramblingly and randomly mumble oh no, it's in the book section, isn't it.... Chappie who served me looked delighted with this - "You have a book section in your wallet?" - and gave me an extra stamp entirely on the strength of it! Yeay for lovely personal service in shops - it's what makes us smile and keeps us going back, right? *g*

Plus, books, obviously... (one was practically for work, actually... and the other could certainly be described as research... honest. *g*)

Oh, and scudding-stormy looking clouds outside make me happy too - perhaps especially this time because they didn't actually drop rain and greyness over us, they just passed majestically by in a dramatic sort of way. In the wind, which also makes me happy. I like wind, it's the world being alive!

You get £10 off books! Whoo-hooo! Which means you get £1 off for every £10 you spend, basically, because you earn a stamp for every £10 you spend. Which means you don't usually get a stamp for just buying a book, because most novels are just under £10... but I got to cash one in a few weeks ago, and that was fun. You also get a rewards card like at a supermarket, where you accumulate points towards books. I've got about £3 on there, too... *g* Waterstones is good like that - it is a good thing to offer, isn't it - long live real paper bookshops!

The weather has been nice - and then today it rained pretty much end-to-end... well, it's not raining now actually, so perhaps not quite to this end!
