Symbolic Silver

Standard

Mei-Shun visited Master Bando today instead of Tuesday, when was too torrid and windy to go outdoors after atypical Typhoon Lupit run through Japanese archipelago. It is 入り, the beginning of O-bon period, makes her feel a bit sorry to appear in person at home of anyone except for family. She therefore wrapped up small sweets while a 舞扇 given by Master Sensha years before.

Easy & Tasty

Standard

Have some of you 422 kind followers heard of 冴緑=sae-midori, clear-green tea? Mei-Shun has never, yet younger sister-in-law gave her samples including this breed introduced as long as 30 years before. She first took them as small-packed leaves, prepared a warmed pot to find tea bags. By the way, she decided to move above green in a vase toward air-conditioned room.

Dish Depends

Standard

Mom has recently added one more jelly stick on my menu, purr. A bit soon, yet is it a birthday gift to me? I’m Virgo, you are Capricorn. We fit well in mind, species does not matter. By the way, it is really hot and dry today. Above delicacy is therefore the best in daytime, while crisps are in cooler early morning or after dark. Meat stew is for breakfast and nightcap. Please keep their good balance.

Crescent Claw?

Standard

Mei-Shun found several bow-shaped scars on her lower abdomen, when warming in a bathtub. Some already recovered, others still flushed. Did Mikan-chan … no, she cannot scratch her mom on such a place. Or underwear for horsey riding? Hmm, it might cause, yet once or twice a week … ah, massage with her own palms. Short nails seem to be preferred not only by Ms. Piano.

Japanese Culture@holiday

Standard

Yes, it is today. Or precisely was yesterday which became Mountain Day to close the big sports event held in Tokyo. This national holiday is normally fixed on August 11th, moved toward above date to give us a little summer vacation. However, Typhoon Mirinae hit Kanto Area while Lupit made a landfall on Kyushu. The latter still roars giving us the second reason to stay home.

Friend Found

Standard

Mom, who is this one? One of my species living around the nearest station, I see. Dad sometimes catches their nice shots like above, while she takes my photos almost every day. You received an “Yes” phone call from Dr. A, look delighted. So if the next appointment with her next January could see you inoculated, everyone of our family except for ME would be a bit safer.

Sweet Souvenir

Standard

Shin went on a business trip to Hokkaido yesterday. Mei-Shun worried about him who had the second shot against the novel coronavirus on July 19th: he had high fever, then felt ever tired and sore in back for 2 weeks. A few recent days saw him better, yet whose attention easily wondered. It was after he arrived in Sapporo when she knew his destination to ask for her favorite.

Happy Horsey

Standard

Since summer heat and humidity of our country is too tough for that lovely tall animal, they take longer lunch time toward 15 : 00. And Mei-Shun, who resumed her club visit at the very end of last month, chooses evening lesson. Oh, Mr. Tea Time is still to let, impossible to designate as her partner until next year. The scale she got on after dancing with Mr. Puma-Tech informed her so-so weight control.

Yukata for U

Standard

Master Bando sometimes recommends her students to dance in slender pants. It is convenient for both herself and them including Mei-Shun; the former lady is able to check how their legs and feet move, while the latter feel a kind of relaxed in torrid weather. However, it all depends on scores — if a guy is featured like 松の緑, there is no problem. On the other hand, 白拍子花子 would prefer kimono.

Month Moves

Standard

This weekend was brilliant for Mei-Shun. Her last day of July, Saturday was spent with Princess Maria and Ms. Last One after nearly 2 months. Following August 1st, Sunday was birthday of her mother who stays in 草津 on vacation. Receiving a pleased reply to her younger daughter’s congratulations, the latter dined out with Shin and mom-in-law at a grilled-eel restaurant.
