Happy birthday Seiichi.

(ooc: Sanada took one of the spare rooms and transformed it -- imagine there aren't any seams on the walls. :| )

The holidays abroad were quite relaxing. We spent around a week in Paris checking on the galleries, catching up with our friends, and taking the dogs on walks around the city. The weather stayed nice -- only a couple days of rain -- and it was wonderful to play a game of pickup as well as take a few early morning runs on the Champs-Élysées.

Barcelona was fantastic. The beach house we rented was on a private beach on the south side of the city. Renge was particularly fond of rolling in the sand. The water was a bit too cold to swim in, but that was fine.

I start teaching at the academy my brother and I went to next Monday. The board has decided to try and modernize things a little so that the entire thing isn't so archaic. Plus, it allows me to maintain S-rank without having to test every so often. It will definitely be much better, in my opinion.

After returning from Narita, I took Saito on a long run. I think we ran around 3km before heading back home. Admittedly, it's a bit more quiet, but with all the construction going on that won't be bothersome. We've dug up most of the backyard in order to put up some walls for landscaping. Those go up tomorrow followed by the stonework, concrete, and the irrigation. There is more than enough room for everything I have planned, which is nice.

Seiichi, your plants are safe. I know you were about to call in a panic after reading about the backyard being upended. I've arranged them accordingly and they will be replanted when everything is cleared.

Our families are okay. I couldn't be more relieved.
