More & More

Mei-Shun has become in hobby. She plays piano from 5 years old, had taken lessons till 18. Her university days were full of Shakespeare. After marriage and moving into Ibaraki, she found a photo of Master Mei-Shu in a stage costume on PC and was very much interested in kabuki dance. And it was Shin who recommended horsey riding 6 years before.

Criminal Call?

Standard

Mei-Shun received a message from a credit card company. Her phone fixed at home is ever set to reply by automatic voice, in order to avoid fraud. She therefore asked Shin later if someone contacted him regarding above matter. His answer was yes, with advice to call them back. As a result, her recent shopping via internet resembled a method of wrongdoers. A sigh of relief and gratitude!

Garden Girls

Standard

They are so glorious in morning light that Mei-Shun took a lot of photos. Hydrangea, lavender, rose and clematis all stand gracefully in colorful dresses. Mom-in-law takes good card of them, chose the last in unique shape and shade. “Looking like tulip, yet a genuine breed” is her comment. Normal ones are sometimes called 鉄線=tessen or 風車=kazaguruma, a pinwheel.

Dual Dish

Standard

Meow, following are my friends toward delicacy. Mom serves me stewed meat in bigger one while jelly in smaller other. She has used the former only, yet worried about a kind of noise I make in full mouth. Since her Ame-chan has gone caused by teeth grinding, she is scared of my losing any. From a few days before, she holds a stick to let me lick it little by little, putting above latter on her legs to receive drops.

Sagittarius Served

Standard

… kindly for the last date of May on Monday this year. Mei-Shun likes such an arrangement which juxtaposes a month with the next in a week. And it is by chance the  day when both of her mother and Master Bando take inoculations for that novel coronavirus. On the other hand, months closed by Fridays give her relaxed weekends at the beginning of months follow.

Snow Spots

Standard

Oh-oh, what a big bruise on Mei-Shun’s left calf! She noticed it when put off one of long socks. Assailant is definitely known: Mr. Silver Pure whose name represents what he is. Even a good guy in a gray coat can kick a temporary trimmer with no intention but a clean heart. And that Shin has as well, who sent his wife above photo of Mt. Fuji looking a bit like her horseshoe stamp.

Silent Sight

Standard

It was cool and all-through rainy today. Mei-Shun visited a nearby hair salon, enjoyed a glass of pineapple juice while waiting for dyeing medicine to calm down. She found a little slide in a park across a lane, nearly covered with wild grass on lower steps. Perhaps no children play here after the pandemic shock — astounding reach of a global disease.

Fantastic Photo

Standard

Thank you so much, Professor M or Shimaneko-sensei. Yes, Mei-Shun anticipated a “supermoon” and total eclipse of it tonight. Princess Maria and Ms. Last One, are you interested in it? Please listen, there seems to be less people outdoors in daytime. That might be because many of them prepared to observe this natural, yet incredible  phenomenon.

Moonlight Meow

Standard

Purr, it tastes very good. I mean jelly sticks whose chicken flavor joined tuna. Mom, mom, please give me more. “Only 3 per day, honey” is her reply. She wants me to eat a bowl of crisps with white powder spread on as well. It works well to my digestive system, like her own daily medicine including Chinese ones prescribed by home doctors. I see, looking forward the nightcap.

Rhythm Returned

Standard

Golden Week, Year-end and New-year holidays are the most dangerous for Mei-Shun. They make her feel relaxed too much to abstain from foods full of oil and sugar. And alcohol easily follows. The former of this year accommodated all of them, brought horrible 2 bags around her waist which took as long as 2 weeks to leave. Really easy to go, hard to come back.
