I am not happy! This diet is killing me. I get the hunger
pains at 10….11….2…4, then finally at 5, we both get fed. I am not sure about
Alfa, but I know that I have lost weight. We start the day with a fishy dish
and at night we have rabbit, or turkey or beef. In between we use to have yummy
biscuits, but nowadays, we see very little of this. I am sorry to go on about
this, but I am in the public eye a lot and my subjects are saying that I don’t look
well. This is very hard for me as I am Zara. I go out. Alfa stays indoors, so
who cares…..enough said.
Back to business… As
usual, when it’s my turn to speak, there are many interesting things to share.
On Thursday, our first Bass Trombone for sale has found a home here in
Auckland. Last weekend under Alfa’s watch, a nice boy came over with his father
and sister and he tested and played the trombone. It sounded so rich and
smooth, that I thought it was daddy playing the tuba. Well he loved it so much
that his parents got it for him and he looked really happy.
On Thursday, we received from Japan, our first tuba for sale.
It is a 4 rotary valved, piggy, (Alfa), BBb Tuba. It was made in Germany by B&S
for Kawai. Daddy had a play on it and wow, it sounded amazing. With any luck,
this might be on Alfa’s news next week. The usual sales of reeds and
accessories went out during the week.
Yesterday a family came in and their daughter tried out a
Yamaha professional trumpet we had in stock. She will be doing Grade 7 soon and
needed something pretty special. She liked it and they bought it. Another happy
DR TOOT customer.
Daddy has been busy again with his playing…the tuba of
course!! Rehearsals with Howick Brass Band on Wednesday..MSO rehearsals this
afternoon and Howick Brass Band tonight. I do my best to comfort him and show
how much I love him. I do this not because I want biscuits…no no no. It’s because I care. I love my daddy. I love
my biscuits too.
Time to go. It is a lovely clear cool winters day here and I
am out to strut my stuff. What little I have. At least my fur looks amazing and
I am in great health. Be Good Everybody…eat well..
