As Alfa shared with you last week, we had another weekend
at the Cat Hotel, The Loft in Howick. We both enjoyed our stay and I believe
they will publish our “news” as it happens. I think they will publish my news
as it is always interesting. This week ended with the start of the school
holidays. During the week, many, many repairs came in, including many flutes
and saxophones which will keep Shoko very busy. Shoko as you remember has been
gone now for over 2 weeks and will start work again on Tuesday this week. Daddy
has been busy with all woodwind and brass repairs and teaching. Mummy too has
been busy with all the sorting out of stock that they took down to Rotorua and
filling out many back orders. Never a dull moment here at DR TOOT.
This week the temperature is getting warmer and it is
starting to feel like summer is not far away. Alfa still wants to cuddle up to
me, but it is far too warm and unnecessary that she needs to be so close to me.
I need my space. For this reason, I have been spending more time outside. The
rose plants now all have leaves and the trees all have lovely leaves on and
flowers are all looking as beautiful as me. My estate is truly looking amazing.
A few uninvited cats have entered my estate and I have shown to them that they
are very unwelcome. I think Alfa invites them over. She has no friends so she
invites them over. I am all she needs. I have everything including charm and
style. She can learn a lot from me.
This week a customer and friend from a long time ago,
came here and bought a Yamaha 450 wooden clarinet. He was here before and
bought a Yamaha Bass Clarinet. Both of these clarinets are going to be presents
and both will be given out next month to his wife and daughter. They must be
very special to receive such beautiful gifts. We have also sold many accessories
including a vintage saxophone mouthpiece that went overseas. At DR TOOT, our
customers come from near and far and they are all special to us.
Today has been a bit different. For starters, daddy got
up very early and went to the local pub!!!! This not the standard we are used
to. According to my cat time it was about 5.30am., but the clock on the human’s
wall said 6.30am. What’s going on??? When daddy got home he had a lot of
explaining to do to me. It looks like daddy went to the pub to watch the England
Rugby team play against the Welsh Rugby team. Daddy met up with some friends
and had breakfast there. The friends were English and cheering for the English
team. Daddy was quietly cheering for the Welsh team. At the end of half time, England
was well ahead, but by the end of the game, the Welsh worked hard and WON!!!!! Regarding the time issue…..It seems
that the humans here, moved the time one hour ahead. It seems that they want
the day to finish earlier. Silly humans….smart cats….meow !!!
