Lets smell the Roses

It’s been another busy week at the house of TOOT.  Daddy and Shoko have been very bust with customer repairs and mummy has been very busy with sales orders, invoicing, packing goods and all the other things that keep DR TOOT moving along. For Alfa and I, it’s life as usual. As long as there is food in our dishes and blankets or pillows to rest on, then life is good J Humans are so needy. Simple is best for Alfa and I.

On Tuesday we received another alto saxophone from Selmer. It was a Selmer Jubilee Series II Alto Saxophone with beautiful engraving on the bell and body. These instruments almost seem too beautiful to play. I wonder how long we will hold onto this one. Everybody wants the best and Selmer’s are the best!!! The saxophone came in a beautiful case which was in a very sturdy box. The box was great to hide from Alfa. I just hop inside and wait to hear her. When she is near, I jump out and give her a scare. It works every time. I love playing these games with Alfa. On Saturday we also received a pre-loved Jupiter trumpet. This will be an ideal instrument for someone starting off or someone who is looking for a great buy.

Do you like roses? I love roses and they always look so pretty next to me. Mummy and daddy have been busy a few weeks ago planting roses and they are now looking so beautiful. Pink, red and cream colored roses and wow they smell so lovely. Today, mummy was up early weeding the garden and making everything look good. Alfa and I had time outside making sure mummy was ok….and then it happened! Alfa went missing. We called and called for her, but no answer. I noticed that she was on the top of the fence and someone next door told us that she was on the fence behind our tress. Mummy and daddy looked very worried. I told Alfa that enough was enough and to get down. She did of course and went straight inside. Naughty Alfa, but at least she had the good sense to listen to me and come down.


I am watching mummy watering the flowers. I will keep my distance as I don’t want to get wet. Daddy was watering the roses the other day and sprayed the water on me. He said sorry, but I don’t think it was an accident….We haven’t seen much of daddy this weekend because he is in rehearsal with the Manukau Symphony Orchestra. They will be performing The Planets, which daddy says has a huge tuba part. Again…this is another concert I won’t be going to. 

I best go and help out in the kitchen. Mummy is busy there and she needs my help. There is only so much Alfa can do and it usually isn’t much!!! Be Happy J J J
