Birthday Girls…and Rico !

November has just started…already.  It’s a busy month for our daddy because all girls (including mummy J) at DR TOOT will have own birthday ! The first one will be mummy’s birthday on the 9th. Then, my birthday on the 11th – Remember, everyone, I was born on 11/11/11 - Soooooooo special J Then, my big sis Zara’s on the 16th….also, we don’t forget Rico’s ! His birthday was on the 21st.  Zara and I are talking about how we celebrate our birthdays  together !

This week, one of our pre-loved Yamaha Xeno cornet has found a new home in Christchurch through TradeMe and left DR TOOT on Tuesday. The new owner has posted his feedback on TradeMe. He is very happy with the cornet. So, mummy and daddy are so glad to know.

On Friday, mummy and daddy received brand new mouthpieces from Henri Selmer Paris in France. There are mouthpieces for Bb/A clarinet, soprano sax, alto sax and tenor sax, including the latest alto sax mouthpiece named Concept. Each mouthpiece comes with the latest packaging which has very nice design and a mouthpiece pouch. All mouthpieces are so beautifully created. Mummy took some photos of them and they have been listed on our website.  I, Alfa, thinks, that it will be a very good Christmas present for someone who plays clarinet or saxophone J

On Thursday, daddy received many parts for his repair shop. These included corks, springs, felts and many things that are needed to be replace on worn out instruments. You see, many many instruments will be arriving here in the next 6 weeks, so we have to get ready so that every instrument has the right part for repairing. I am so proud of mummy and daddy.

On a personal note…I have been allowed outside more on my own. Yes I am getting bigger. Zara watches over me and mummy makes sure that I don’t hop on the fence. Summer is around the corner and good weather is coming….Looking forward to it J
