Links.

I had a look at wordnik, which I like. It suggested that I could expect to see "fun" a few times a month. HOW I WISH THAT WERE TRUE. (Bugger has a not unexpected concentration between 1920 and 1950.)

Also, [livejournal.com profile] antisoppist linked to Greyladies, and I want LOTS. I have actually got one of the Susan Scarlett (Noel Streatfeild) books, and the Josephine Elder, but at the time that I bought them I couldn't find a website, and now I am pleased. I should probably wait until my Persephone order comes through. But I don't want to.

That is a good plan. I sort of wish I hadn't seen the link myself.

All my fault! I wonder if they'd give me commission. It would make up for Persephone telling me politely that their "all week" only covers Monday to Friday so I don't get my free book because I ordered on Saturday night.

Oh, how mean of them! Did they say before? Hmph.

The e-mail was dated Monday and it said "all week on the website" and "this week only".

I forgot until Saturday and I did think it was a bit of a grey area because with the "can I have my extra book" comment I did write "if this is still valid". They said their week is the week when the shop is open so they didn't get my order until this morning and that's too late. The problem is that they think they are a physical shop with proper doors and opening hours and I think of them as a 24 hours a day website.
