I haven't posted in a while. Life continues, I suppose. And I guess it's easier to comment about other people's lives than talk about my own, especially when it's been so busy.

The Fudomine boys team lost at Nationals quarterfinals to Hyotei. I suppose that was payback, but they played extraordinarily well, all the way up to reserves thanks to the forfeited Singles 2. I'm very impressed and while three of the members will be graduating next year, I think the club will have a fighting chance next year as well, if their tenacity continues.

The deli's doing well. More customers by the day, and I'm now seriously considering hiring someone to help me out. I can't cook and be in the deli to help out customers at the same time. But the trouble is finding someone to work the long busy hours (2:00pm to 9:30pm) and who's very personable. I can pay well...but people dislike working for a long time on end.

...I confess, I find myself with a lot of spare time nowadays too. It's weird. I didn't use to have this much.

A lot of people nowadays seem to like the pearl tea stuff, so I've added that to my deli's list, though I have to say, I tried it and I can't taste what it is that's made it so popular, Also, I added macaroons and madelines to the store's menu. I feel like I'm turning more into a cafe than a deli. I should find some new savoury recipes too.

Since a lot of people have interest in our budding middle school tennis teams and the Fudomine team seem to be using my store as a meeting place, I thought I'd talk more about them. For one, I believe they should change their name to Foodomine with the amount of dishes they seem to consume when they come here -_-

Still, they played a practise match yesterday and won against Midoriyama, 5-0. The mandatory 'five-matches-played' rule is still around at Nationals, it seems, so they stuck to that. But they apparently had the drawings and it seems they're up against Hyotei in the first round of Kanto. I might go see that one to lend them support, Hyotei's cheering squad is apparently still as large as it was in our time ^^;

And for those playing in Wimbledon tomorrow )

Ahh, it is odd. I've been rather busy for the past few days, because there's been a huge increase in customers! I admit, it's quite a surprise, but I'm very glad. If I could just figure out why....

Oh, and in interesting news today, it seems that Fudoumine middle school tennis team are in the Kanto again, for the first time since our time. The whole team had a celebratory dinner at my place yesterday, seeing as they won Prefecturals. It was nice chatting with all of them and they all seemed interested in learning more about how to improve their tennis.

Akira, Shinji, if you're free sometime, maybe we could drop by during their practise and help them figure out what they need to improve? Seems that they only have a teacher patron and not an actual coach. They're better off than we were, but they'll need something if they're to get very far in Kanto.

An's been pestering me for ages to get one of these accounts, and every time she does, Gokutor gives me this look:

So I finally gave in. I'll be checking in on this when the shop is having a slow day, but I'm not sure how faithful I'll be to this whole thing.

On another note, is anyone missing a Wilson racket? There was one left at the corner of the deli the other day along with some tennis balls and wrist-weights.
