Shorter, but very happy days to come

I must say that my big sis Zara is getting older. (period J) Her blog is getting short and she is getting crazy ! Nowadays, she goes outside and shows me how she plays with tree – goes around a tree and jumps on it. I watch her from inside through the windows and she really looks funny !

Daddy showed me and Zara his rebuilt work studio. It looks very professional and daddy seems to be so happy J This week, lots of customers visited us and saw the new shop, and give us very positive feedback. So, daddy was wrapped and he is now receiving more instruments for repairs and services. A clarinet from Tauranga, two instruments from Duniden, a few instruments from a school in Auckland, a Selmer Paris soprano sax is under surgery now and another Selmer Paris tenor sax is waiting for the turn.

A familiar face came to see us and dropped off his tenor sax from Matamata yesterday. Also, Uncle Bruce came by and looked at the shop. He was very happy to see such a beautiful shop. Zara told me that Uncle Bruce will be babysitting us soon. I think that that is ok. This afternoon, another familiar face visited us and dropped off his alto sax…ahhhhh, daddy is very busy…ummmm, mummy is happy J

Daddy is not only busy with repairs but also he has been having rehearsals with Manukau Symphony Orchestra (MSO). They will have a concert this Saturday at Vondafone  Event Centre. All tickets are sold out…..very popular !

Mummy had a phone call from a young boy a couple weeks ago. He wanted to buy one of our pre-loved saxophones but it was already sold when he phoned. So, we ordered one specially for him, and the Yamaha alto sax YAS62 arrived the other day. Daddy serviced it and it was ready for the young boy. He and his parents came to see us today, and he tried it and loved it J His mom was glad to see me and Zara and petted us…good customer JJJ

Well, it is officially autumn here in New Zealand. It is still warm in Auckland and I enjoy the end of summer outside with Zara. Mummy planted some new plants and they look lovely. Because I can’t go out as often as Zara, I really love the new flowers outside. They make me feel calm and relaxed. I saw the other day that Zara is using one of the plants as her personal toilet……not good, Zara.

Well I am about to join Zara upstairs on mummy and daddy’s bed. Today, daddy chatted to his friend Douglas in Canada. He was a friend that he knew when he was young at school. He has two cats and they are very famous World famous like Zara and I J. One of his cats has issues like Zara and gets very jealous. I am strong and know that I am loved so very much, so no issue here. Days are getting shorter. Must go. Purr purr everyone…. J
