Yawn, this is the last day of dad’s birthday month on solar calendar. Also at the end of weekdays meaning Friday, it lets mom feel the former half of 2023 finished quite well. She already ordered 水無月=minazuki, an important sweets to celebrate today with him. Still in lunar May, our outer wall was repainted into shining white called by a pretty name shown above.

番付表 for the next basho of sumo wrestling arrived at Mei-Shun’s hands, sent from 二所ノ関部屋. Oh, 3 ex-大関 including her favorite are all single-digit 前頭 ranks. Although with no plan of visiting torrid Nagoya City, she would be happy to put on yukata, summer kimono as rikishi do. At least 3 days on 初日 July 9th, 中日 16th and 千秋楽 23rd. 千”穐”楽 is always employed by above stable.
Mei-Shun walked to a hair salon, carrying a parasol works also as an umbrella under a gray sky. It took nearly 2 hours today, a bit longer than usual. Now she has to rush toward home, French radio lesson starts. However, current program is — oh, she has an excellent substitute. A combination of books and a CD starring a cute girl and a cat boy, a Christmas gift from Shin many moons ago.
Mei-Shun found outer wall of home changed color: from biscuit to meringue when she came back from her horsey riding club last evening. They explained that it is the 1st stage followed by the 2nd today. She and Shin hope the 3rd, final would safely be shown soon. By the way, nice numbers on a scale let her enjoy 細巻き, thin rice sticks rolled with 海苔=nori sea vegetable for supper.
Mei-Shun visited the nearest shrine after several months on weekend. Oh, twin 狛犬 A- and N-chans, great to see you two again. She had missed you so much, yet could not keep enough power to walk toward here. Now everything is fine, as her dance with Ms. Carino Piccola today. This horsey lady seems to prefer clockwise to our regular lessons going counter.
Thanks a million, sister Y. She sent Mei-Shun above this year as well: the former knows the latter loves it. Shin prefers darker American breed, while peach is also on the top of her favorite fruit list. Green melon follows them in summer for the wife, red and water one for the husband. He likes bananas with many sugar spots, called rotten by her. She is fond of crispy apples, waited by him until softened.
Meow, we have 夏至=geshi, the 4th of summer 二十四節気 today. Mom and I visited her horsey riding club with a rare chance of 梅雨の晴れ間, sunny days during an opposite season. The longest daytime of the year also served her well for dancing with Ms. Carino Piccola. She really means her name in Italian, yet less than I do of course. Here I’m in your previous towel blanket … purr … purrr …

Mei-Shun saw Dr. M, her home dentist this morning. Artificial Ame-chan would finally be attached toward her right upper jaw. They first cleaned teeth up, then put paste like gum into her mouth to take impressions — oh, a big baby who ate pink cakes is in a mirror. Yes, she saw nice numbers on a scale last night, after just one lesson with Ms. Last One.
Mei-Shun practices “Clair de Lune” composed by Master Debussy, her favorite almost every day. It is because even a day off seems to deprive her of its tune, flow and notes. Although the same occur in others, her attention is on that simple and beautiful score right now. Lunar May started from yesterday, let her sing with Ms. Piano both above and another by Master Beethoven.
Sphygmomanometer? What a difficult name to call a medical apparatus! Mei-Shun uses it these days in early mornings. According to her mother, it is better to measure twice: when we are tense, shocking numbers often appear on the display. All the same at a hospital for checkup. She totally understands and follows above advice. If necessary, a photo of good results at home would be taken.
