It’s been a fantastic week and maybe it is because of me. No
Maybe’s It is because of me. I have the touch. I am Zaraπ. The week as sales
goes started a little slow, but I am a patient girl.
Thursday was a special day
in New Zealand’s calendar. It was my
birthday π. Blackie from next door and a larger version of me from the front
house came over and paid their respects. Some say that it was a bit like the
God Father π. I couldn’t possibly comment on that. Word got out in Howick that I
turned 10 years old and the cat crowd went crazy. We started the day with Tuna
and sardines for breakfast. A lovely start and one I shared with Alfa. She
showed her appreciation and stepped back while I ate my breakfast. It’s called
respect. Something the younger generation of cats know little of. The kittens
think that it’s all about them.
Thursday wasn’t just my birthday but a day the sales started
coming in. The day started with a sale to a school in Hamilton of a Yamaha
YAS280 Alto Sax. We did a platinum service for them of a Yamaha alto sax so
they now have 2 lovely saxophones for their students to enjoy. Later that
morning a lady and her two lovely daughters came and tried out a Yamaha Custom
Clarinet and Briccialdi flute. The girl who got the clarinet has never played
before and has started her clarinet playing with an amazing Yamaha Custom wooden
clarinet. She was so happy. Her sister was there and to her surprise, she got an
Intermediate Briccialdi flute with all the bells and whistles. Both are very
lucky girls and are very lucky to have parents that are very supportive for
their music performance. I personally met them and let them stroke me on my
birthday. They were so lucky!
On Friday a gentleman came in and bought a Yamaha trumpet.
He loved it so much and said that it was better than the one he was playing in
London. Of course, it was.
On Saturday morning a family in Christchurch bought
a Briccialdi intermediate flute and a preloved wooden Noblet clarinet. Another South
Island happy customer π. Then on Sunday, a
student of daddy’s came to our home and bought a brand new Selmer Paris Series
II Alto sax. He was very very happy…..and so was mummy and daddy. The Zara good
luck charm worked again!
The boys with daddy have been very busy in the workshop with
a few major jobs and mummy keeping up with all the invoices for all the sales
and repairs. Imagine this all under my watchful eyes. Alfa had a great sleep
this week. So tired watching me being so busy, the challenge is out the for you
Alfa. Can you handle it??
I best go and relax. Daddy has been out a lot with rehearsals for Manukau Concert Band, Howick Brass Band and Manukau Symphony Orchestra, so I better make him relax and sleep on his lap. Lucky daddy……lucky me πΌπΈπΌ
