Been doing a lotta that.
After the eventual issue of the interview shot by the Homes Victoria cameraman – https://www.instagram.com/p/C8Wfa_8BSlD/ – you’d think the world had seen and heard enough of me to last a bloody lifetime ! But no: today I went into the offices of my beloved Care Services Provider, Aunty Grace, to do another.
Anyone who’s known me for any length of time – and by ‘known’ I mean via blog as well as corporeally (is that a word ?) – is already clear on the fact that I can not only talk the hind leg off a donkey, but both hind legs and the tail too. Probably the entire second half, from behind its front legs backwards.
But my Aunty Grace friends gave me flowers, the dear hearts;
and not only flowers, but an EFTPOS Aunty Grace card to spend. You can readily understand why I’m so stuck on them. 🙂
Wondering if I should let Homes Victoria know, in a subtle-hint kind of way. [grin]
What should I buy myself ? I’m thinking some more Audible items – around eight more books ! But in truth I’d like something that related better back to my Aunty … can’t think of what.
In truth, I’m just commenting on the fact that grumpy old women can have pretty good lives, all told. Only the one complaint: how to eat a protein-packed but v. low-cal lunch every day … Oh, two (I lied): where to find a doctor who shares my thinking on cholesterol ?!
DOWNUNDER WITH BOODZ 
It is so lovely hearing you so happy MR. The Aunty Grace people sound wonderful. I understand your wanting to spend the gift card on something relevant, but on theother hand, I know from experience that we can over think this.

Wot, ME ? – overthink ??
Sighhh … The one upon whom I truly dote is frequently telling me that, Sue.
Btw, I wanted to include you on the Bcc distribution list yesterday for that video; but I have lost your email address. I can recall only that it’s part of The Giant’s Reach. You might send ME an email containing it, again ?

That video is gorgeous. I can see why they wanted to share you and your words, too … you are so positive and articulate (not that I’m surprised.) I love hearing about good initiatives like this.

I’m sure they made one at each of the three new developments, Sue; so there must be two other show-off ancients as well ! [grin]
I entirely agree about the good initiatives: I’m praying that Homes Victoria keep up with this. I believe they will, because there are so many large corporations involved, and they would’ve come on-board on the understanding of long-term activity.
It was a huge morning, the official ‘opening’, and I even ended up speaking at the press conference. Briefly, happily. 🙂

It’s a coincidence that both Homes Victoria and my wonderful Care Services Provider, Aunty Grace, needed someone to front for them within a fairly short time, Michele. And then there’s that half-a-donkey aspect. [grin]

I think you can safely say you’re enjoying a little taste of celebrity, M-R! I love it. And that it comes with reward, even better. I’d go for the Audible books. And if you do, I’d like to know which ones. After all, brand yourself as an influencer! 😉

What to buy? Boodz needs some kitty treats and a couple new toys. That could be a start. 😉
High protein, low carb? How about a salad with chickpeas or edamame or other protein of your choice? Just don’t drown it in a high cal dressing. 🙂

I know, I know, she groaned: it makes total sense. Once I’m living in the city I shall need to start visiting the QVMarket to buy edamame …

I know I read this post a while back and must assume I was interrupted before commenting. Mea culpa. I was not trying to ghost you.
Who doesn’t love unexpected gifts/flowers! As for the diet requests/requirements, I’m afraid I’ve nothing to suggest. I try to eat packaged salads several lunches a week. They have little cubes of chicken in them for protein. But then comes dinner and all my good intentions are forgotten.

No, Colorado, I wasn’t offended. What I was doing was shutting my trap entirely so as to stop making comments about things US that clearly upset. My problem is that I’m unable to be balanced when it comes to one of the contenders, and I let my impassioned rage take over. 😦
