Windy Weekday

Standard

Our fiscal 2023 is heading toward the end. Dad stays in Okinawa from yesterday, I and mom at home today. Momo-chan, our garden princess of bright pink is in 50% blossom. She is stormy outdoors, I am safe indoors, purr. On the other paw, rainfalls prevent us from dancing with horseies. Kimono would come to you instead, won’t it? Floor vacuuming is the first, I see.

Oops, Ouch

Standard

Mei-Shun’s left little finger is 1.5 times in size from last night. It was her awful mistake to put it on open boot of Ms. Scarlet while taking off horsey riding boots. Its basculle door silently came down, pressed such a tiny part that felt like a thunderbolt. Shin kindly ordered her favorite food delivery. Ms. Piano, you would sing with her right hand only for a time.

Sweet Spring

Standard

So it might be just once for us to see bright sun during current weekdays. Mei-Shun reserved 2 lessons at her horsey riding club in Tsukuba, followed by a 30-minute private lesson. Hello Mr. Golden Helmet, great to dance with you for the first time. Since you are so tall, she felt quite safer on short Mr. Crunchy who made the best so far. And Mr.  翼 or Wings, nice to see you again.

Double Dance

Standard

千穐楽, the last and 15th day of sumo bouts was held on Sunday. Mei-Shun put on kimono, found herself in difficulty a bit. That may mean weight control goes well, yet also she has kept a kind of distance from this charming costume. All right, she would set a new 晴耕雨読 rule; to wrap it around waist indoors, instead of dancing with horseies outdoors in sunny days.

Fair Fragrance

Standard

Shin came back to Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun yesterday morning, with souvenirs including a durian pie. His hotel in Ho Chi Minh City asked guests not to bring that king of fruits into rooms saying “no smoking, no durian”. The wife has agreed with them so far, while feels it acceptable this time. It might help her condition to improve through 三寒四温, from cold winter to warm spring.

After 8Ys + 51Wks

Standard

Dr. A kindly gave Mei-Shun “Yes” phone call this morning. It would be informed only to Shin who stays in Vietnam from last night. It seemed warm there when he left home, 20 degrees Celsius shown on his PC. However, a digital signage at Narita Airport said 13 was added: summer covers spring. On the other hand, winter came back here to overcome the latter comfortable season.

Vernal equinox lets Mei-Shun know day time has become longer, yet 2024 sees it too dark. Clear in the morning, allowed her to hang futon mats outdoors. More and more clouds covered blue sky, with a slight rainfall in the afternoon. Momo-chan, our garden princess gave 1st flower in 2. Sunset had 7 : 3 gray and orange, the former might bring a short storm.

Only Once

Standard

Last week when Mei-Shun saw Dr. A, a good bakery this ex-inpatient makes it a rule to drop in was closed. She therefore replaced it by one nearby, whose branch in Tsukuba has been visited before — a decade might have passed since then. Well actually, sweet “melon-pain” is her criterion to judge if loyalty would be born to a shop. Oh, how cute they are here, in tennis ball shapes!

Purr, it was the best for me, dad and mom to return together from sumo watching. His hay disease got better taking naps on a souvenir 座布団 cushion layered on another, while her style in 羽織 kimono coat became established. She also enjoyed shopping, eating all day long and waving towels on which names of her favorite rikishi printed. They are doing well in a stormy spring.

Joy of Osaka: 2

Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun got up around 7 : 00 to be in time for 一番太鼓, drum beating to let audience know sumo site opens. Oh, many wrestlers in kimono are seen walking with them by the same route toward the place. Nice scent of 鬢付け油, hair oil to make 髷 style, comes when they follow those big guys. It is interesting to find 土俵 ring still empty and dry.
