I speak to you all from the comfort of mummy’s office. Mummy
has a very comfortable chair in her office that Alfa is often seen sleeping on.
Alfa has recently been seen sleeping on my blanket in the living room. Who does
she think she is??? I for now will use her chair to deliver my thoughts and
comments to the wide world.
Speaking of the wide world…..Daddy has been seen, twice this
week at Auckland International Airport. On Monday morning at about 9.15am,
Daddy was there, picking up Shoko. Shoko is from Japan and is the newest team
member of DR TOOT. She trained under a very famous Musical Instrument Repairer
in Japan and she is here to work with us. Her specialty is clarinets and
saxophones, although she can do everything. She is a very welcome member to our
repair team and is already working very hard. Daddy’s next trip to the airport
was to see the arrival of his daughter, Kathryn from a 7 month trip around
Europe. Her flight arrived in at 11.15pm on Tuesday night, but she didn’t get
through Custom until an hour later. Daddy was very happy to see her, but he
made a little bit of noise when he came back at about 2am. Alfa and I were not happy as we were
sound asleep…..
It has been another exciting week at DR TOOT. Many repairs
keep coming in and Daddy and Shoko are busy getting things done. Now mummy has
to worry about 2 people in the workshop and make sure they are ok and on track
for the repairs. As some of you know, on Thursday, 13th November, we
are having a Selmer Night with special guest artists. Because of this, we are
getting in more instruments, accessories and mouthpieces. Two saxophones with
mouthpieces, arrived the other day. They were a Selmer Paris alto sax Jubilee
Series II and a Selmer Paris tenor sax Jubilee Series II. Both came in beautiful cases complete with
accessories. We have goose necks arriving next week, and I am sure Alfa will
talk about that. It’s all happening here at DR TOOT.
I think it’s time to sign off. I hear sounds in the kitchen
as Daddy and Shoko are cooking dinner tonight. This is daddy’s way of saying
thank you to mummy for all her support and extra work. I think he should do
more than just one meal!!!! It is a
roast and anybody can do a roast. Oh well…..Please be good and kind to others.
I am trying hard to be kind to Alfa. Really hard J
I ask all of you to be thoughtful to others less fortunate than yourself….like
Alfa !
