Christmas preparations
It has been hard preparing for Christmas this year – just Bruce & me. This is the first Christmas we have truely been on our own. But Dotty has gone, Matt is in the Middle East, Phil has Krysti & Kate will spend Christmas with Mark’s family. Our boys are adventuring… Hayden living in Barcelona and Evan holidaying with Steph in Central America.
So it has been hard getting our heads around Christmas, particularly now that Bruce is ‘retired’.
Today we wrote Christmas cards and sent the Christmas email to most of our friends. I quite like the idea of saving paper and energy to deliver our Christmas wishes, and writing an email. What we save in cards and postage will go towards a dunny or two for Oxfam. Bruce wrote the Christmas letter this year, I hope it has a different mood.
Also today, we made pudding. Well, Bruce made pudding, which we will share with the family on 23rd December and with friends during the Christmas week. I also made Minced Tarts for our Kris Kringle party at work tomorrow and to share with friends.
So today did start Christmas for us.
Bruce is 62

Bruce finally got to celebrate his birthday with Kate, Mark, Alex & Phil at the new Sandy Yacht Club. Food was good, but not the service – pity, ‘cos it is a great location.
Here is Bruce, with his strawberry birthday ‘cake’. The strawberries were delicious, and not over cooked.

A new chapter
Today starts the rest of our life. On Friday Bruce was ‘retired’ from SapientNitro (previously known as CumminsNitro and Cummins & Partners), the company he joined nearly 3½ years ago as the ‘old fart’.
Ironically, he had worked a solid month, with only one weekend off and finished his last day at 2am, a mere 11 hours before he was ‘put off’.
So I am off to work and Bruce will spend the day on R&R.
What next?
Hayden’s birthday present to Bruce was administration rights to his website moustache.com.au, giving him the ability to change and rearrange content. This is Bruce’s showcase of his work over the last 40 years in advertising and in need of updating. Next is a redesign of the site.
We also quickly managed to set up a personal email address bruce@moustache.com.au.
There will be a little freelance work and a lot of time to walk, read, take photos, see art exhibitions and reflect on a long and interesting career. Of course planning future excusions to those parts of the world we haven’t yet seen will be a very high priority.
So today starts a new chapter…
