Long day today. Up very early, but in bed at days end, as-I-type.

Today was known for its sleeting rain, howling winds, flaming bar-b-ques and street-side auctions. I still have to tell you about my new job - part of that new job today meant helping people understand the support that is out there if they have financial hardship. It's Anti-Poverty Week in Victoria, and today we shared a lot of information.

I also bought a painting at aforementioned auction (I want to say "link in the dooblie-doo" but, I'm not a You Tube channel) and will show it to you when I tell you about the job - which will happen sooner rather than later (probably later - I still have to finish that last post!).

OH! while at the Anti-Poverty thing (I don't know what to call it - gathering?) I took a look in an Op Shop and found three copies of Trixie Beldon books - I came *this* close to buying them but they were in such poor condition I opted for looking for better copies in other second hand book shops. I am, however, suffering severe remorse for NOT buying this amazing $10 centre-piece.
