Good afternoon all you lovely
people. It’s a warm Sunday afternoon here in the house of TOOT 😺 The
temperature is nice, the sweet breeze is comforting and I am feeling much better
thank you all for you kind and meaningful messages. As many of you out there in
kitty-land know that I haven’t been myself for a while. Not eating and sleeping
all the time was how I was. Well, with the finest of food and Alfa staying away
from my food dish, has helped me get better. Like a very brave cat, I have been
taking my medicine drops in my mouth and have complained little. I must keep a
brave face as Alfa watches my every move. I set the tone and the standards. I
am Queen Zara! 😻
This week has been a very busy
one indeed. Of course, because it is my watch and control. We started the week
off with an American King Cornet sale. This handsome cornet came complete with
accessories and the famous DR TOOT One
Year Free Maintenance Warranty Service. On Tuesday a shipment arrived from
Japan carrying many accessories and a Professional Yamaha French horn and a
Yamaha YCL650 Wooden Clarinet. Our Repair Team of 3 got stuck in and serviced
these instruments faster then an Alfa eating a fishy meal. On Thursday in a
wink of an eye, the French Horn was sold to a young budding musician here in
Auckland. On Friday the large white snail, (Sousaphone) was sold to a gentleman
in Wellington. This instrument comes complete with mouthpiece and accessories
including a gig bag case…..more on this later….On Saturday a young man with his
mother came in to try and buy a Yamaha YTS61 Vintage Tenor Sax. Man could that
boy play!!!! After they bought it and left, we received an email from another
customer in Wellington wanting to buy the Yamaha YCL650 Clarinet that arrived
here with the French Horn. Wow!!! Things move very fast on my watch 😸
Now about the Sousaphone…. As I
mentioned, it comes with a gig bag case. This is a soft case and not great for
couriering around the country. So, Daddy in his craziness and pride in service,
was going to leave at midnight on Sunday night and personally drive down to
Wellington and deliver it to him personally. But last night the Prime Minister
announced that Auckland again was going to Level 3 which means Auckland is in
lockdown and travelling outside of Auckland was not permitted. Mummy, Alfa and
I think he was crazy to even think of this....
Time to sleep now and rest. Daddy had to play in a concert in Takapuna this afternoon but like many things….it has been cancelled. Let's hope that we will go back to Level 1 again soon !!!
