A long time with no news to post.

There's really been nothing much of happening (not that there ever is) the last few weeks other than that we are all doing whatever it is we do every day. Both kana and keita have had exams - kana is still in the middle of hers - and keita re-joined the school baseball club so setsuo is getting a rest since he was riding his bike with Keita when he was running at night and now no longer needs to do that. Because the school club uses a different ball, he isn't allowed to do any ball throwing (catching is okay though) so the coach said if he brings his own ball and glove, he'll catch for him while the other kids are using the lighter one. He also gets to do all the training exercises on the days when he doesn't have his own club practice.

Keita is also on a work experience thing from the school. They go to shops, restaurants, kindergartens etc and Keita ended up at one of the local kindergartens! They are there from 9 - 4.30 so I bet they'll be glad when the 3 days are over and they are back to school.

Setsuo has just finished the 3rd of the houses he built this year and they have started on the 4th one. All are just around the corner from us so the carpenters don't have far to go. Until now nobody could see into our house but the 3rd one is positioned in such a way that if they looked out of some of their windows, they have a birds eye view into the kitchen area, toilet and bathroom (although are about 6 houses space away) so we have finally got around to putting blinds on those three windows. We are also thinking about putting them on the living room ones, Kana and Keita's rooms and one of the windows in our room. We don't really need them for privacy but it will cut down the amount of sunlight that comes in during the summer.
