So this year ends today. Thank you so much for your kind visiting Mei-Shun. She and Mikan-chan would like to share a time with you here next year as well.
Month: December 2014
Let’s Be Happy
StandardShin came down with a nasty cold this weekend. Since he is working for a food company, year-end is the busiest time; he has to work 7 days a week. Mei-Shun therefore felt happy to see him stay at home, yet unhappy for his condition. So did Mikan-chan.
Stray Sheep?
Standard2015 would be symbolized by sheep, which Mei-Shun has not yet prepared. Actually forgot to – she used to visit a stationery shop to order nengajo (=new-year greeting card) while choosing annual ornament. However, she found nicely designed nengajo at a post office this year. Well, where does our symbol walk around right now?
Cleaning Season
StandardNew Year is coming soon. Let’s clean up your room to let your mind feel refreshed. Mei-Shun put her kimonos into winter order; yukatas must take upper position. Hello again, Ms. Biscuit. You would be put on for her first lesson.
Arigato
StandardSo this is Christmas. And this is the 21st wedding anniversary for Shin and Mei-Shun. Look at his real gift. Just beautiful, isn’t it?
Shiny Loaf
StandardA cat loaf is now served for you. In sunny mornings, Mikan-chan is very good at finding the best place to warm herself up. After 5 minutes, she makes a turn into … this position.
Tree on the Wall
StandardA hotel in Shinawaga makes a Christmas Tree by green, red and gold lights of windows. Shaky hands created a flame-like image, while a normal shot looks smaller than the real one.
Very Merry
StandardA little earlier Christmas gift has come to Mei-Shun. 2 weeks before, Shin’s doctor found his blood in terrible conditions. It might be caused by a cancer, he said. Today’s second, closer examination has resulted in “the reason is not clear, yet no cancer”. So, anyway, we’ve got rid of the worst.
Last Lesson
StandardMaster Mei-Shu gave Mei-Shun the last lesson of this year today. We talked about the next-year performance, laughed by an ogre*. Mei-Shun would like to play “Shio-Kumi” – a kind of challenge, claiming her best effort.
*“When we talk about next year, ogres would laugh at it” is a saying to tease unexpected, out-of-reach dreams.
Warm Menu
StandardMei-Shun read that dried mushrooms taste good. Stored for longer, they make nice combination with miso soup, nabe, flavoured rice, etc. It is fine today, sunny enough in our living room. Would you like music too, Mesdemoiselles?
