I don’t know why but as soon as it gets close to the time of leaving the office for holidays lots of little emergencies pop up. Yesterday was my last day in the office for the year and I had two “fires” to put out. I just hope they are the last ones for the year as I hate getting panic emails from staff when I am away. Having Peter in the office helps. He isn’t taking any time off over Christmas which means I have some peace of mind when I am away.
We took the staff to a Christmas Lunch at Maha – best Middle Eastern in Melbourne. Unfortunately Jayden had to attend a family funeral so couldn’t join us.
I was pleased to hear from Maddie:
“I finished to first half (makeup) diploma but i chose to not continue on with the second component (special effects) and start a new course which i started last month. I now study Counselling Psychology and moved back home with my mum.”
Isabelle and Sarah seem to have birthday celebrations spread over a month.
Erich and I will miss Sarah’s actual day but arrive in time for Isabelle’s on Monday. Both girls helped make their cupcakes for classmates. I am surprised they are allowed to do that as I think the nut allergy thing has stopped a lot of that in Australia.
Erich and I had another wonderful dinner at Ezard’s for our anniversary. That is becoming our go to place for special occasions. It is degustation, expensive but great food and service. I can’t believe that we have been together twenty years. Erich probably deserves a medal.
Little bits of teasing news from Liz about whether she may be going back to work. Looking forward to hearing the outcome. All sorts of things happening in Brooklyn. They will be all heading in different directions over the holidays. Erich and I are looking forward to having a quick catch up with Charlotte and Sophie in January.
