Tanti auguri, DR TOOT !

Well, another birthday is coming to DR TOOT.  Daddy will be one year older tomorrow.  He thinks he is getting younger and younger…beh, he is a happy man J  Anyway, “Happy Birthday to you, tanti tanti auguri a te, daddy !!!” from me, big sis Zara and mummy.  We send you big hugs and lots of kisses, meow meow moew J

Yesterday, I heard mummy and daddy were talking about me.  Mummy said, “Rico really loves a dark and wet place.”  Then daddy said, “Yep, he is just like a mushroom.  We should call him “mushroom” !”.  Whatttaaaaa !????  I’m not a mushroom.  My name is RICO !

This week, a few instruments have found new homes.  A flute has gone to Tokoroa, a saxophone has gone to Christchurch, a clarinet has gone to North Shore and a trumpet has found a new home in Wattle Downs.  Mummy and daddy are happy to see their instruments find new owners and been played.  I am happy to see more biscuits comes to my dish, hehehehehe J

More instruments from Japan are arriving very soon.  Yanagisawa soprano sax 902, Yanagisawa tenor sax (silver colour) and Yamaha tenor sax YTS24.  And some more saxophone mutes too.  At DR TOOT, we have now lots of saxophones….taking my space !  I hope that they will find new homes soooooooooon J

On Thursday, daddy played a tuba in a Manukau Concert Band at All Saint Church in Howick.  Sorry, daddy….we had to stay at home, but there were lots of people turned up and I’ve heard that it was a really good concert.  Daddy did enjoy playing a tuba the front of lots of audiences - his students were there, his customers were there, his friends were there.  Daddy appreciate your support !

I think the days are getting longer in Auckland.  It is still cold though…it’s good to have the fire on.  Zara and I love fire…but maybe I luuuuvvv water more…beh, I am RICO ;-)
