Cool Change

Standard

So we reached the last day of the most torrid month in our country. Mei-Shun visited Master Bando, put on upper 半襦袢=han-juban, kimono underwear in half and a pair of pants. Such a weird combination is only available here, within today. Now she drops in a post office to purchase stamps to send 残暑見舞, greeting card at the end of summer. Oh, a heavy rainfall seems to have come for tomorrow.

Double Dolce

Standard

Oh, how delightful it is! Or they are Mei-Shun means. Shin ordered a rolled cake on business, yet received two at home by his wife on weekend. It is a kind of dream for her to eat this nostalgic sweets until feeling full up. Hmm, one is coated by sliced fruits under jelly while the other whipped cream. They gave almost no effect on the scale she got on tonight after dancing with Princess Maria and Ms. Bunny Girl.

Green Growing

Standard

They were just lately recognized by Mei-Shun. Our backyard ginkgo, cut upper half last year has already reached eastern verandah. A little more length of your leaves on the top branch please, to kindly serve as a curtain to shut eyes of car-shop workers. They would also feel relieved never seeing her hang laundry there including yukata. Let’s expect together fireworks to bloom in the sky soon.

Children’s Corner

Standard

Ms. Piano, thank you so much for always soothing Mei-Shun’s mind. You really are one of precious three featured herein. Mikan-chan, kabuki dance and you are her family of course, stay beside her even if she is closed indoors by recent thunderstorm, heat wave and evil disease. She resumed practice of “Golliwog’s Cake Walk” composed by Master Debussy for Shin who loves this score.

Snail Nail

Standard

Mom, you are allowed to cut tips of my rear paws. On the other hand, front ones should be kept as they like: never try or hear my hiss. I can help them to peel if necessary, so please stop worrying: they hardly hurt my pads to bleed but grow getting rid of them. Oh, you find a shell on the sofa which I often relax on. It reminds you of a flower stem recently finished blooming, doesn’t it?

Shrimp Shock

Standard

Oh-oh, thanks and sorry, Shin. He went on a business trip to Nagoya, brought home a can of … cracker. Called ゆかり=yukari, made Mei-Shun take it as a famous topping on a bowl of rice. However, she merrily removed above golden lid to find poor, beaten water creatures. Such density of a food-ingredient animal is too high for her. May she close it and run away?

Murky Moon

Standard

Recent wet and cool Obon season taught Mei-Shun that summer is going, autumn is coming. For example, she was really happy to hang futon mats outdoors after waiting as long as 10 days. However, no warmth was left when she brings them in around 17 : 00 — they kept heat within even at dusk a month before. Sunset is getting sooner, sunrise later. More and more sunlight is creeping into rooms.

Merciful Moon

Standard

Thank you so much, Professor M. He is one of the best photographers Mei-Shun knows, especially good at that beauty in the sky. We are expecting her in full on Sunday, 22nd when Mikan-chan meows twice. And the same to you, Ms. Last One and Princess Maria. Southern wind blows calmer, let us feel cooler after 16 : 00 outdoors. Oh, look up at another there just started to shine.

Shot Shared

Standard

Here Mei-Shun relaxes at a nearby hair salon. Both she and the owner successfully reserved vaccine inoculations against the novel coronavirus yesterday. The former took 30 minutes while the latter a whole hour, saying “it was already full on the 1st Monday, so I chose the 2nd”. Well, just half an hour gives such a difference. MS saw all dates available except for one Saturday.

Shampoo Purr

Standard

Meow, it is really kind of you to wash my coat, mom. And to give my favorite treat between crispy meals as well. Oh, would you already take the next for me? I’m so happy to help you. “Honey, it’s my restroom”, what do you mean? Ah-ha, a corner where you store their boxes has no door. All right, please go ahead. I’ll keep a good girl who never makes a bath mat mine like yesterday.
