Celebration of my good grade was had in very wicked (but fun) spending of money in Borders. Picked up several CDs and an armload of books, including some more for my growing shelf of books on Pakistan, some good hiking books on Scotland, and a few fiction treats. CDs included some favourite artists and some new experiments. Since I waited patiently while the understaffed desk help got things sorted out (unlike the guy next to me, who was incredibly rude and unpleasant to the clerk and then, rather astonishingly, apologised), they gave me three of my CDs for free, instead of two, which was the current sale term.

Plus a package from a Brit Shop arrived for me with a box of PG Tips, lemon/lime marmalade, and gooseberry jam! Yum!

That was an experiment, but I find I quite like it! I had several oatcakes (Walker's rather than my preferred Nairn's, but it's what was on sale at World Market) with the gooseberry jam, and a couple with the marmalade, for afters last night, and they were delicious.
