Mei-Shun went to a hair salon nearby Tokyo Station today. Rainfall from midnight stopped when she got on Ms. Scarlet. 牛久 Pond, Cup-noodle chimney and Skytree looked all fine. Her favorite beautician gave nice technique as usual, kindly guided her to purchase a bottle of Moroccan oil treatment. And oh, this building accommodating his shop displays a brilliant tree every year.
Meow, mom has long been looking for a nice soy sauce cruet to replace one of my friends shown above. It worked well smiling, yet began to drip lately caused by a tiny crack just under the lid. She found left one at いそべ陶苑 in 笠間, joking at me not to catch it. Well, does it look like a sparrow in size and shape? I’m not so much interested in birds, while Tora-chan sometimes makes them a wild meal.

Shin and Mei-Shun dropped in famous 笠間稲荷神社 before visiting a pottery shop serving soba noodle as well, yet opens at 11 : 00. They wake up early in the morning even on weekends, got on Ms. Scarlet around 8 : 00. The husband always has a clear schedule; visit 三昧塚古墳 first, then turn to 友部, one of rest areas on 常磐 Motorway to satisfy the wife who craved for a soft serve.
Here they are on the floor of eastern verandah. Yes, green might represent 2021 for Mei-Shun; Kaori-san chose green-haired pendant, kabuki dance lessons featured both 松の緑 and 松の寿, etc. On the other hand, green light is not yet on for her Spanish learning. She forgot to apply for a test twice, has failed to spend enough power to open the textbooks every day, making that novel coronavirus a reason.
Shin and Mei-Shun visited 三昧塚古墳 by car on weekend. Oh, green grass covering the tumulus turned reddish brown, shining like copper in morning sunlight. “It is a kind of mystery that nobody knows the name of an ancient king reigned such a rich area,” the husband always says. “That is why he gave me sleep paralysis after we met him for the first time,” the wife replies respectfully.
Mei-Shun was so happy seeing above title on a scale last night, that treated herself to 瓦せんべい from Tokushima Prefecture again. Six weeks have actually passed since she enjoyed this delicacy before, left just in one piece shaped like Mt. Fuji. Prepared a cup of coffee, she looked cookie package on the back by chance. What, below a postcard, its flavor and crispness is due by Nov. 18th?
Ms. Piano takes a rest on Master Mendelssohn’s “Floating Cloud” from “Songs without Words” while on “A Maiden’s Prayer” by Ms. Badarzewska. On the other hand, she sings “Golliwog’s Cakewalk” composed by Master Debussy again. It must be a lively score, yet this puppet manipulated by Mei-Shun stumbles too often to make clear steps. Or he/she might win a prize cake by his/her weird walking.
Here is Mademoiselle Vert, growing a stalk day by day. Mei-Shun also found 蝋梅 in our garden hides some buds opening a little among still green leaves. She would like to display an image of the latter soon, while could not take any photo today — closed at home by stormy weather. Although we had 大雪=tai-setsu, the 3rd of winter 二十四節気 yesterday, it seems to be warmer than such snowing.
The 1st Tuesday of a month like today would be titled for Mei-Shun. She visits Master Bando in the morning, takes her lesson in 羽織, kimono jacket on normal pants style. Then she has to head toward Dr. M for teeth check. A molar on her upper right jaw is already cracked within, needs regular care and cleaning. It is 13 : 30, she drops in a bakery on the way home.
Mom, I did not mean to trouble you, yet could not help showing my anxiety. A big cushion full of paw stamps, your futon blanket, washroom mats, etc. just sympathetically served as marking spots to soothe myself. When you leave me physically/mentally alone, they say “do not worry, we are all yours. Why don’t you use us to catch her attention?”
