T’was the night before my birthday. It has been a real
week of birthdays, but as always….we leave the best for last. It was mummy’s
birthday last Monday. Mummy got had a lovely dinner and a beautiful cake with
no candles on it, (we don’t talk about that ), and a glass of nice bubbles. We
all sang happy birthday and mummy seemed happy. Then it was Alfa’s birthday on
Wednesday. We had a special whitebait and salmon dish for breakfast and sheared
chicken with snapper for dinner. I love
cat dinners. Even if it was Alfa’s. I
wonder what will happen for me tomorrow…. J
You can always tell when it’s my week. Sales happen. This
week a Conn professional trombone has found a home in Nelson and a Yamaha
trombone has found a new home at the local High School. It’s all happening on
my watch. The usual accessories too have gone and have new homes to go to. In
the repair shop, Daddy and Shoko have been very busy working on instruments for
a school in Tauranga while Mari has been busy cleaning the instruments for
daddy and Shoko prior to them being worked on. This is a great help and very
much appreciated!!
Friday evening, daddy dressed up in his Howick Band uniform
and went to play with them for the annual “Midnight Madness” held in the Howick
shopping area. The bans played well I am told and daddy didn’t get back till
after midnight. He woke Alfa and I and I was not too happy!!! I love my daddy,
but a Queen must have her beauty sleep!
Sad news on Saturday. As you know, DR TOOT are the agents
for the famous brand Henri Selmer Paris which and makers of the world’s best
clarinets and saxophones. In the evening
some naughty and bad terrorist killed
many people. This was a horrible thing to happen and we all wish the people of
France our prayers and thoughts. We are thinking of them and the people who
work for Henri Selmer Paris.
