This year started with a BANG!!!

BANG BANG BANG!!! I hate New Years Eve. Why do you humans have to make so much noise to bring in the new year? I had Alfa snuggle up to me all night. She was too hot and too much, but she is my baby sister. I must say thank you Alfa for sharing the blog last week with me. We got our points across and 2014 will be an exciting year for all of us. The first day of the new year started with a sale of a Besson Tenor Horn. Yes that is right. A gentleman that we deal with often came by our home and bought the tenor horn we had for sale. Mummy and Daddy thought it was a great start for the new year.

On New Years Eve, Daddy’s brother Kerry arrived from Canada to start a new life here in New Zealand. He is staying at daddy’s other brothers house, until he get himself sorted. Kerry arrived here last year at about this time and stayed in NZ for just over 3 weeks. He must of loved it here, because, he is now a NZ citizen.  I will talk about Kerry later……

On Thursday January 2nd, it was Rico’s second anniversary since he died. Alfa and I spent some time over Rico’s spot. Alfa never met Rico. Alfa joined us a few weeks after Rico was killed. It’s because of Rico that Alfa is with us now…..GEEE….Thanks  Rico…

In the next few weeks, many instruments will be arriving from Japan looking for new homes in New Zealand. Vintage tenor sax, saxophones, some clarinets and trombones, just to mention a few. Please check out our website for more information. Daddy’s workshop is a no go zone for me. Fumi and daddy are working so hard. Everyday I see nothing else but saxophones all over the place. Even though it’s holiday time, daddy just keeps working on. Because daddy keeps working, that means mummy too has to keep working to keep the invoices going. The pile is getting lower. Keep it up!!!

Back to Kerry….Last night Mummy and Daddy had a BBQ on and had invited some guests, including Kerry who arrived late in the afternoon by ferry. He is taller than daddy and has quite a presence. He stayed the night in mummy’s office, which is next to the bathroom which is Alfa’s and my bedroom. In the early hours of the morning, he needed to use the human dirt box and accidently stepped on my tail. I yelled out loud. I am Queen Zara, and nobody steps on MY tail. For the rest of the morning I avoided him. He has now gone back to his other brother’s house and I can relax again……for now.
