End of Year and AirZooka

To make sure I enter the New Year happily, I’ve been busy tidying my office today, catching up with paperwork and emails. It's a bit like doing course work or homework really. I even managed a bit of flute practice. Have you?

I forgot to tell you about one of my most amazing Christmas presents - I plan to have fun with it on our Flutewise residential courses. It's an AirZooka. You can send a blast of air from quite a distance away and surprise the recipient. My wonderful friend, Erich Tucker, sent it to me. Erich lives in Dallas and he is great fun. He invited me out to take part in the Denton Flute Festival in Dallas during May 2006 and I had a great time.

I’m hoping Erich can come over to the UK in 2007 to take part in one of our courses. I know everyone will adore working with him. He reminds me of Sean the barman on Coronation Street, except even a little more hyperactive – in the nicest possible way.

So watch out on the next course, if you don’t go to bed when I tell you, you might get hit by my AirZooka plus a bit of lavender oil!
