Finishing the Work Year

There has been so much happening at work to finish off the year. We had Beth Jennings in again to take photos of staff. I was happy with the result

. 

In Singapore they celebrated United Nations Day at school with a big concert. Isabelle was very excited about it. Sarah played an Indonesian instrument (sorry Sarah I forgot what it is called.)

Peter and Rebecca hosted her family for a pre-Christmas get together.

At Isabelle’s class they had a secret reader – she hid under a blanket but Isabelle wasn’t fooled as she saw her mum’s handbag. How good does Kate look. Isabelle helped make the cupcakes for her classmates. Early birthday celebration.

This week Kate had been visiting Majella in Dubai. Things appear to be going well with Majella’s treatment.

I am feeling a lot better this week.

I am really working on my ‘brain training’ about the pain and it is working. Thank you to Gowdeys for my lovely orchid. It looks great on our dining table (picture is when it arrived in my office). Liz gave me a white one when I came out of hospital and it lasted for about 3+months so I am hoping this one does the same.

Erich fell backwards onto his tailbone about a week ago and he is still suffering. The bruise covers his whole bottom so he doesn’t like sitting much.

On 14 December we celebrate 20 years of marriage. I am not sure where the 20 years have gone but I am very grateful to have such a devoted husband. We are going to dinner on our anniversary eve as we couldn’t get a booking on 14th.

We are taking the staff to a long Christmas lunch on Friday afternoon at Maha Restaurant. We aren’t starting to late as O have a treatment at Cabrini late morning. Then on Saturday, Sarah’s birthday, we head off to Singapore for Christmas.
