It’s already August and I cannot believe a few months to
Christmas…where has this year gone ? Well, yesterday (Saturday) was daddy’s 59th
birthday…mummy, Zara and I cerebrated his birthday together, and gave him a
birthday card J
We said in the card that 59 is just number….yes, it’s just number and a big one
is coming up next year, daddy !!! My big sis, Zara will be catching up his age
soon too…hehehehe.
Monday, another busy week started at DR TOOT – some
accessories sales (most of them were from Christchurch this time !) and a few
instruments arrived for repairs/services. Then, next day, we had a couple from
Oamaru ! They were visiting Auckland and came to see us J She is a teacher (clarinets
and saxophones) and has purchased lots of accessories from us in the past and
one of our pre-loved Yamaha alto sax recently. She has two cats too….and she
said to me “the most beautiful cat I’ve ever seen !” ummmm, very good
customer….I was flattered J
ummmmm, Zara was jealous J
Anyway, the customer has left two clarinets for us do
services, and Shoko has done excellent work on them – one for Gold Service and
another for Platinum Service (complete overhaul). They are ready and going back
to Oamaru on Monday !
Friday, lots of customers turned up. One of them was our old
customer (uh, he is not old like daddy ;-) from Cambridge. He has brought a
baritone sax for us to do service. It will be on Shoko’s bench ! Then, mummy
and daddy received an email from overseas…sorry, but I cannot say from which
country…but it will be another big news for DR TOOT soon !??????????? oh, oh,
oh, I am Alfa, Princess Alfa J
must keep quiet !!!
Daddy had rehearsals yesterday and today with Manukau
Symphony Orchestra. He is a bit nervous because he has huge tuba solos for this
concert! Yesterday, players at the orchestra played “Happy Birthday” to daddy
and he was so happy …thanks, everyone from mummy, Zara and Alfa J
It’s been mild weather here in Auckland, and I feel that
spring is just around corner !? I look at the trees, flowers….and birds…. J The days seem a little
longer and better weather which means I can stay outside longer. It is still a
little chilly, but not too bad. Thank you for reading my blog ! Have a great
week to come and please remember, Happy Tooting !!!
