Yes, today is Canada Day. On the first of July 1st, around
the world, Canadians celebrate Canada Day. It’s a day to enjoy everything
Canadian. This includes having Maple syrup, which mummy had with her French toast
this morning, saying “eh” after every sentence and many other things Canadian.
It’s been many many years since daddy was in Canada. Daddy left Canada in 1974 and went back for a year in 1980. He thinks many things have changed since then and is hoping to go again next year. If there are any of daddy’s friends that are reading this,…..please say hi to him as he really gets other home sick sometimes. I caught him once googling his old home address in Port Coquitlam on Google Maps and checking on his old High School Poco High School. Hello Douglas Planidin, Denise O’Brian, Terry Gregson, Mike McFarlane, Craig Breckenridge, Glenn Saunders and others. You know who you are….π

Anyways….Back to the now world….It’s been a pretty busy week
this week at DR TOOT. The week started off with a Kanstul Trumpet sale for one
of Howick Brass Band members. It was his 16th birthday and his
father bought him a beautiful Kanstul 700 series trumpet. Very lucky boy!!!!
That was the only major sale this week, but many other sales happened in
accessories.
The workshop was pretty busy with saxophone and flute
repairs. Daddy has been very busy on brass repairs. The National Brass Band Contest
is coming up in just over a weekend many instruments are coming in for last
minute servicing. Because of the Bras Band, daddy has been away ALL DAY!!! He has
been rehearsing form 10am till 4.30pm. Mummy and us kitty cats are not
happy!!!! This happens every year at this time of year.
Our second Kanstul order from the States has left and should
arrive here in NZ at the end of this week. So exciting again. School holidays
too will start at the end of this week so please remember to get your
instruments in for a bit of DR TOOT’S TLCπ
Well my fine loyal and loving friends….Have a great week to
come and know that I am always here for you…always.πΈπΊπΌ
