Mei-Shun visited Master Bando, saw Ms. S as usual. Yes, such a day seems the best — she recognized it when lost what or who was important. Even a slight fever could remove her fingers from Ms. Piano, 舞扇=dance fan and a bag filled with horsey-riding tools. Now おてもやん=Otemo-yan, funny red-cheek lady from Kumamoto started to join their repertoire.
Month: August 2021
Baseball Boys
StandardO-bon period of this year was a bit atypical. Heavy rainfall prevented Shin, mom-in-law and Mei-Shun from burning 麻幹=ogara as 迎え火=mukae-bi in 13th evening to welcome beloved dad-in-law. 送り火=okuri-bi, to say good-bye might be feasible tonight, yet it seems weird to do for them who did not say hello. On the other hand, cooler weather might be kind to those gather at 甲子園.
Symbolic Silver
StandardMei-Shun visited Master Bando today instead of Tuesday, when was too torrid and windy to go outdoors after atypical Typhoon Lupit run through Japanese archipelago. It is 入り, the beginning of O-bon period, makes her feel a bit sorry to appear in person at home of anyone except for family. She therefore wrapped up small sweets while a 舞扇 given by Master Sensha years before.
Easy & Tasty
StandardHave some of you 422 kind followers heard of 冴緑=sae-midori, clear-green tea? Mei-Shun has never, yet younger sister-in-law gave her samples including this breed introduced as long as 30 years before. She first took them as small-packed leaves, prepared a warmed pot to find tea bags. By the way, she decided to move above green in a vase toward air-conditioned room.
Dish Depends
StandardMom has recently added one more jelly stick on my menu, purr. A bit soon, yet is it a birthday gift to me? I’m Virgo, you are Capricorn. We fit well in mind, species does not matter. By the way, it is really hot and dry today. Above delicacy is therefore the best in daytime, while crisps are in cooler early morning or after dark. Meat stew is for breakfast and nightcap. Please keep their good balance.

Crescent Claw?
StandardMei-Shun found several bow-shaped scars on her lower abdomen, when warming in a bathtub. Some already recovered, others still flushed. Did Mikan-chan … no, she cannot scratch her mom on such a place. Or underwear for horsey riding? Hmm, it might cause, yet once or twice a week … ah, massage with her own palms. Short nails seem to be preferred not only by Ms. Piano.
Japanese Culture@holiday
StandardYes, it is today. Or precisely was yesterday which became Mountain Day to close the big sports event held in Tokyo. This national holiday is normally fixed on August 11th, moved toward above date to give us a little summer vacation. However, Typhoon Mirinae hit Kanto Area while Lupit made a landfall on Kyushu. The latter still roars giving us the second reason to stay home.
Friend Found
StandardMom, who is this one? One of my species living around the nearest station, I see. Dad sometimes catches their nice shots like above, while she takes my photos almost every day. You received an “Yes” phone call from Dr. A, look delighted. So if the next appointment with her next January could see you inoculated, everyone of our family except for ME would be a bit safer.

Sweet Souvenir
StandardShin went on a business trip to Hokkaido yesterday. Mei-Shun worried about him who had the second shot against the novel coronavirus on July 19th: he had high fever, then felt ever tired and sore in back for 2 weeks. A few recent days saw him better, yet whose attention easily wondered. It was after he arrived in Sapporo when she knew his destination to ask for her favorite.
Happy Horsey
StandardSince summer heat and humidity of our country is too tough for that lovely tall animal, they take longer lunch time toward 15 : 00. And Mei-Shun, who resumed her club visit at the very end of last month, chooses evening lesson. Oh, Mr. Tea Time is still to let, impossible to designate as her partner until next year. The scale she got on after dancing with Mr. Puma-Tech informed her so-so weight control.
