Barcelona was nice, but I'm glad to be back in Japan. Though, I would really like it if all this damn snow went away. I would like to play tennis and practice kendo outdoors.

Speaking of which, are Thursday afternoons at 4:30pm still good for lessons?

Yukimura-sama found a drama called Otomen and it has kendo in it. I admit to glancing at the kendo scenes to see if their form is right. I'm impressed that it is. I want to try making those cakes. I made paella last night. It was good, but I think I need to add another spice to bring out the flavor more.

Picked up a few plants for Yukimura-sama when I had enough time to do so. A hibiscus and a tulip. They are barely peeking through the dirt right now, but with the extra lights we have, they should be blossoming in no time.

The play is a week away. I've succeeded in memorizing my lines and moves. I hope we all do a good job with it.

Kendo lessons have been going well. I'm rather surprised by the interest and enthusiasm from the masters and other butlers. If anyone else wants to participate, Yukimura-sama has given me Thursday afternoons for the lessons. Everyone is doing well. I have just a few notes though.

Since the weather is turning colder, I thought I would bring out my Greek cookbook. I've succeeded in making a batch of baked stuffed apples for Yukimura-sama. I have another dozen. If anyone would like one, please let me know and I'll properly wrap them and bring them by. They are best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, but to each their own.

I've brought all the plants away from the windows and set them on various shelves and tables. Thankfully I was able to procure some low intensity lights to mimic sunlight so that the flowers can keep blooming. I've already repotted the violet twice. It's doing quite wonderful.
