Mei-Shun is a green tea lover: she enjoys it almost every day, all through the year. Now are cans of her favorite leaves going empty while tablets, balls and bags of Chinese tea arrived. Here are excellent breeds to replenish a couple of pottery from Hong Kong stored in a cupboard for decades. Hello, great to see you two again. Shall we enjoy a full moon tonight together?
Meow, it has become chilly from a few days before — mom brought me to Tokyo on Wednesday when rain started to fall. I had to control it not to get her wet, got myself exhausted. “Shall we go into futon blanket?” she said around teatime yesterday, pulling a 半纏 kimono coat out of a drawer, purr. After a nice nap, we found sunset to serve as a cool artist.

Here are a can and a bag of above souvenir Shin kindly brought home. Mei-Shun is so happy to receive them that never stops opening them after every meal from Saturday dinner. The former is soft in flavor of sweetened red-bean paste, while the latter hard in 梅=ume plum and butter. Combination of a sour fruit and milk fat is a bit amazing to her: dried and salted 梅 means a great friend of rice.
Mei-Shun went to a hair salon nearby Tokyo Station after a few days more than 2 whole months. With a slight rain, it was not the best for treatment yet cool enough to set bangs again. 牛久 Pond was halcyon as usual, a chimney of a famous noodle maker was working well. However, it was not easy to catch that 634-meter high broadcast tower whose top fully covered by grey clouds.
Thanks a lot, Master 二所ノ関=nisho-no-seki. He sent Shin and Mei-Shun a face towel his current and previous names printed on. It serves as a small gift for above couple to join the support group. However, why did 番付表=sumo wrestler ranking list of 九月場所=September or autumnal tournament arrive first? It seems better to convey gratitude before a 15-day match starts.
Have you kind 482 followers seen Jupiter shining in dark sky? Mei-Shun enjoys it tonight as well, when a half moon growing day by day from the west toward south. She would soon be followed by her eldest brother among planets of the sun including our mother earth. There, he always hides behind tree tops in the east, suddenly jumps up onto a bluish black carpet over our heads.
Mei-Shun made a new rule: walking on days when she does not go for horsey riding. During recent severe summer, she perspires with no exercise. Or such activity is advised to refrain from, never serves for muscle building. Thanks to cool evening, she enjoyed looking around 乙戸沼 Pond on foot today after 4 months. Oh, beautiful 5th crescent welcomes her and Mikan-chan back home.
Here is 紅環=beni-tamaki, whose pretty looking and sweetness moved Mei-Shun so much — delicacies come not only from kitchens but farmland. She is a fruit lover like her beloved father, while sweets are quite liked by mother’s side as well. Why does she continue to talk about dessert? It is because she deserves it tonight by labor indoors and dance outdoors.
Meow, mom gives me a tiny bowl of milk these days. It is one of my favorite treats, purr. She dilutes a teaspoon of it with an equal amount of water, makes creamy dip. “Bon appétit,” she says and serve it to me who attends her every meal at home. By the way, it is you who have a big appetite today, isn’t it? Two mountains of rice in a normal 茶碗 seems to mean a large size.

Shin gave Mei-Shun a wonderful dessert; brilliant, edible jewelry of titled fruit. Grown by Mr. I called “master”, a box of Shining Muscat, 巨峰=kyoho and 紅環=beni-tamaki delivered last night. The wife loves green ones like the 1st, maybe descends from Alexandria via Rosário. Black ones like the 2nd is quite normal, yet all different from the same breed sold at supermarkets.
