Ume Blossom

Standard

春一番, the first spring storm blew in Kanto area on Sunday. A plum tree in the “backyard” began to bloom little by little. You cannot see it from anywhere but our balcony. What a nice privilege we have!

Oh, Marilyn

Standard

Not that famous actress, a lovely horse girl. She is honest in lessons, patient enough to carry such an unskillful rider as Mei-Shun. On the other hand, she is so charming and friendly, a little bit mischievous once leaving the ground. Yes, we know you do not like to be squeezed by a saddle belt. Please stop yawning 8 times after that.

Shio-Kumi:1

Standard

Here is a handmade pair of pails for Shio-Kumi practice. Thank you so much, Master Mei-Shu. That story features pretty sisters named 松風 and 村雨, who were involved in sea salt making at a small, remote village. One day, they saw a noble guy in a banishment penalty and fell in love with him.

We Feel Itchy

Standard

Mikan-chan has black dirt on her inner corner of both eyes while her mom is a bit troubled on inner side of eyelids these days.

New Moon

Standard

Today is the first day of the year on lunar calendar. It is said in our country that new moon days are the best for you to make a wish to a god. That is why Mei-Shun postponed the procedure to renew her driver’s license to date.

After 44 Wks

Standard

No problem as usual, thank you so much. Dr. A offered Mei-Shun to see her every other month if today’s sample gives a good result. That sounds great — now she expects the next reservation to be fixed on April 8th, Birthday of the Buddha. Yes, or No? The answer would be brought by a phone call after 2 weeks.

A Big Tyre

Standard

… Mei-Shun has grown around her waist. It occurs every year actually, since she has too much sweets, feasts and alcohol of great taste from the end of December to the middle of January. Now she started to reduce carbo, her favorite, in diet. It is the most feared to get weight back immediately, so good cooking to enjoy every necessary nutrient is the key.
