Last week of school holidays….

Yes it’s the last week of school, but it has been anything but a holiday here. Repairs, sales, sales, repairs, all coming and going.  Everyday it seemed that daddy was doing 2 flutes and 1 saxophone a day as well and doing some minor servicing on instruments. Mummy has been lost and sometimes found in her office. You see, as we mentioned before, DR TOOT, is now an official distributor and agent for Henri Selmer Paris Instruments and accessories. This is a huge honor. Selmer Paris is many, many, years older than daddy…..very old, and has been making quality clarinets and saxophones for years. Mummy has been working on prices and we will soon list on our website a range of instruments, mouthpieces and accessories made by Selmer Paris -  Alfa and I can hardly keep our fur on. Just too exciting here!!!!

Three flutes have found new homes as well as a couple of saxophones this week. At first I thought people were coming to see me, but, no, they were coming to buy these beautiful instruments from DR TOOT. As well as instruments, many reeds and accessories went out, but too many to count.

Now, about my health….. I know that many of you are concerned about what happened to me. Just to put the record straight……it was Alfa that caused the infection that made me go and see the vet. Yes Alfa. She scratched me on my #@*&# and it was really sore. I am better, but will be more careful in future when Alfa starts, well you know….that again. The pills have stopped as well as the cream on my……you know :-)

Big storms in Auckland this week and as usual, Alfa was a bit scared. Don’t tell Alfa, but I too was a bit scared. Strong winds and heavy rain. We heard that many people on the North Shore had tree break down and power turn off. Alfa and my hearts go out to all the cats and we say….be patient and give the humans time to fix things up.

Daddy is cooking a roast tonight and all smells great. Time to purr off and wish you a happy night and good luck with the beginning of the last term of the year!
