The end of the week

Hi, Baukjen here. It's the end of the week and it has been a good one. Today, one of our team members left to fly back to his home country to get married next week. We celebrated yesterday with cakes his team members had made. Everyday at Isabella Oliver is different. However there is one thing that has become a tradition. Every Friday, a whole bunch of the team order pasta for lunch. All week they eat healthy salads (I dont think we ate as healthy as they do when we were younger), but on Fridays they order in and eat pasta together. The smell is so delicious and it's great because they sit down together and you hear their laughter through the offices. A really nice tradition that has developed.

Tonight we gave my daughter (aged 3) her first bicycle. It is bright pink. She loves everything pink. The delight in her face made my week. After her excitement, she turned to me with a serious look and asked me to to confirm that it only belonged to her and not her brothers. As the youngest of three, she was delighted it was just for her, not her brothers. Of course we confirmed. You could not have seen a bigger smile. Have a lovely weekend!
