It rained so hard last night, that mom could not sleep well. Her “Clair de Lune” practice might not serve to call that celestial beauty these days. On the other paw of mine, she recently renewed membership in a sumo stable fan club. You can change 推し=favorite rikishi, yet her 名取 heart is always with him whose 四股名=土俵 ring name is seen above. Purr … purrr …

Lunar July starts from today, with obon holidays on solar calendar. It would be full of typhoon effects, followed by approaching Nangka. Sky changes color one after another; blue, white, light/dark gray. That is why Shin imposed a “curfew” for Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun. Thanks a million, Yuko-san, who kindly sent them closed at home a box of 残暑見舞い=late summer gift.
Mei-Shun’s PC has been overheated – it never responds to her press on power key. Its hot bottom warmed note/textbooks piled below all night perhaps, made her spread them beside cool morning windows. She opened above quiet body, put it in front of an electric fan. Nothing worked until the battery lamp turned off. “You’ve done well, yet remove it first next time”, Shin advised her later.
… schoolchildren on summer holiday seem like to visit: we have the former day last month, while the latter today. However, Typhoon 15th or Chan-hom over Pacific Ocean heads west, might make the first landfall in Ibaraki Prefecture at night. Shin and Mei-Shun therefore took early care of garden plants; the husband used a lawn mower, the wife fixed Momo-chan babies’ poles.
Mei-Shun tends to choose light meals here, preparing for big dessert plates. Poke, quite like our sushi bowl, is among the best 3 on her list; with guava juice, a nice match. M-chan seemed pretty starved, finished faster the same dish. They soon moved toward sweets, enjoyed chocolate/fruits pancakes respectively. Oops, what is that black interloper on your peaches?
It means a restaurant mom and M-chan dined at tonight. The former aunty has not felt very well for a week, might have a slight cold. However, such blue condition was all forgotten when she picked up her only niece, purr. Medication, good sleep and meals are obviously important to cure our disease. Communication also works, as they say 病は気から=your mind controls your body.

We expect a 下弦 half moon tonight, while a slight rainfall in the morning led a lot of clouds. Once bright sunshine came onto Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun, then gray sky shed foggy tears. Which scores would the latter choose in such a dizzying change, Ms. Piano? Her normal practice starts from “Clair de Lune” – might always call for that celestial beauty in wet weather.
Mei-Shun got on Ms. Scarlet at noon, headed Tsuchiura municipal office to apply for a passport. It expired on March 31st, birthday of Professor M. Since they significantly lowered commission from recent July, she waited a kind of thrilling 3 months. Now business abroad fits Shin, the wife could use her photo in our traditional costume taken just half a year before.
Mei-Shun visited a 祇園さん or 八坂神社 shrine branch in Tsuchiura the other day: she purchased a 粽 of 大船鉾 online this year as well, brought back 2025’s one. A sourcebook regarding that artistic float was published; let her learn its history, enjoy manifold photos. For example, ancient 四条町 was divided into 南北 to put 大金幣 and 龍頭 dragon head on the bow.
Mei-Shun got a phone call from a flower shop, on the last day of solar July. It seems the biggest, only in charge of arrangement/bouquet delivery in Tsuchiura City. “We cannot contact Mr. O”, a driver said. She thought something happened to that octogenarian; therefore picked above up, served it for beloved dad-in-law. Her mobile rung in the evening, lively husband of Master Mei-Shu started chatting.
