Tokyo to Kyoto

Standard

Shin and Mei-Shun are really happy to make one-night trip together, for the first time in these two years hit by that novel coronavirus. First, the wife visited a salon nearby our capital station at 14 : 00, got her hair curled after 10 months. Then the husband gave her a message as for a Shinkansen. Now the couple have got on a Nozomi bullet train to start at 16 : 30.

Meow, this is another day of my breed comes once a month. It is actually a rule mom enacted recently as my voice sounds like “ny-ya”, 2 and 8 read in her language. Vivid sunlight, almost no wind, much more comfortable compared to yesterday. She worked at home all day long, that also makes me satisfied, purr. By the way, one more added to you kind followers here would mean my hiss, 4-4-4.

Hi again, Princess Maria. Listen, Ms. Piano at Mei-Shun’s home would be cared soon. Rain prevented her from dancing with you today, while that novel coronavirus did Mr. O from contacting some of his clients. Oh, it seems to stop, yet club field is full of little puddles in horseshoes size. Now Ms. Last One, shall we go there? Please do not throw this mom onto the ground, since she is made of sugar.

Cube Castella

Standard

Here are gifts from Nagasaki, where Shin visited on business the other day. Since Mei-Shun’s cupboard is full of tasty sweets right now, he did not mean to get such a big box. “However, they pressed it into my taxi, no chance to say no.” Oh, they not only look cute but also give nice serving size. It is your wife who says thanks, while bringing some to Master Bando today.

Mt. 鳴春?

Standard

Yes, nice numbers on a scale let Mei-Shun treat herself to 瓦せんべい=well-baked cookie by くつわ堂 on weekend. It is big enough to cover Shin’s face completely, gave the wife one direct bite dreamed of for as long as 2 weeks. However, there seems to be bigger one available via internet. All right, when she reach the ultimate goal where 1.5 less sugar bag has gone.

Friendly Furs

Standard

Meow, my day a month is here. It was amazingly cold from morning till night below 15 degrees Celsius. Mom kept an air conditioner above my bed whirring all day long to warm me, purr. By the way, why do you continue to look pleased after coming home yesterday? Danced well with horsey, good numbers on a scale. Hmm, that’s why you enjoyed rice balls and sweet dumplings beyond 8 hours.

Happy Halloween?

Standard

Ms. Piano, do you miss Mr. O who used to contact Mei-Shun regarding your tuning? No message from him has been received so far this year, yet that is not so much a problem: it is your health which she cares most in this matter. She would give a phone call to a company he works/ed for next week. May her fingers therefore be off tonight? They are too tired after dancing with Princess Maria and Mr. Magical Thunder.

Buzz & Beep

Standard

We have a full moon tonight. 大安=tai-an, the best day among 六曜. And power outage before noon that Mei-Shun has already been informed on. Construction cars arrived around 10 : 30 in warm sunlight, started to replace electrical wire. A fixed telephone stopped soon, 20-min. blackout. However, nothing woke up after 30 minutes passed. She went down to see mom-in-law who asked “what is a breaker”?

十三夜

Standard

Thank you so much, Professor M. He reminded Mei-Shun of the thirteenth moon or 栗名月 seen last night. It abruptly turned to the end of autumn from Sunday with a cold, too cold rainfall. Putting on 袷=awase or a double kimono, Mei-Shun visited Master Bando’s place today to start lesson of 松の寿, 長唄. On the other hand, Ms. S would dance 寿, 大和楽 on a stage anticipated next year.

Big Bin

Standard

Yes, Mei-Shun washed it up. Plum liquor was stored within for 8 years, always made her feel relaxed. It was Shin who picked fruits of a rare, wild plum called 皆平早生=kaidare-wase grown in a mountainous forest in Wakayama Prefecture. Quite small in size compared to normal ones, yet thinner peel gives soft texture. She moved left delicacy into 2 smaller bottles, toward a refrigerator.
