Shin and Mei-Shun’s schedule for a total health check was postponed toward November. At first, this point of no return was set within August. It lead the couple to harder-than-usual weight control, gave good results for both. However, the husband forgot to make an appointment with a clinic between his business trips abroad. It was a kind of relief for the wife, who treated herself to a chocolate after riding today.
Listen to U
StandardWe have 処暑=shosho, the 2nd of autumnal 二十四節気 today. Well, partly thanks to successive rainfall from Tuesday, heat wave over 35 degrees Celsius seems to have gone. It serves Mei-Shun who feels something sacred to see rice paddy full of ears along the lane leading to the Gods’ place. And oh, beautiful white lily, you have a brave heart to stand against gale by the typhoon.
My Day
StandardMeow, it comes once a month. Today I would let you know my favorite places to relax. First is the northeastern corner of dad’s study. Second is indoor wooden terrace in the bedroom. Third and rare is here, behind a television where previous one was set when a terrible earthquake attacked us years before. It had a Braun tube, allowed me to relax on in winter.

Wha-Shah-Shah
StandardAmong many kinds of cicadas singing around Shin and Mei-Shun’s home, a new face made a debut this summer. They are called クマゼミ=kuma-semi, meaning bear cicada, found mainly in western part of our country. Since her late father was from Kyushu where above ones are normally heard, their songs reminds her of childhood. Do you have any reason for reaching her current residence?
She stares another breed.
Joy of Stones: 2
StandardMei-Shun designed another necklace featuring a Venetian beads, as she reported the other day. Professor S put it on a special board, checked balance of color and atmosphere. “It would be better if calmed down by dark blue”, she said, picked up some lapis lazuli from her toolbox. Oh, she really means. Cute, dice-like stones removed amethysts from the first idea as well, enabled another pair of earrings.

Joy of Stones
StandardProfessor S, please kindly take Mei-Shun’s deepest gratitude. It was a kind invitation from the former lady to visit her place for the latter today. Two pairs of “handmade” earrings motivated their appointment. They were so loosely attached onto metal parts that they have high risk to fall — her fingers are all thumbs. On the contrary, how quick and precise hands of this Madame Prof. are, to repair them!
Joy of Curls
StandardMei-Shun feels it quite gorgeous to let her hair down in the middle of summer. It is normally rolled and bound with choux-choux as soon as she wakes up in the morning. She went to a nearby hair saloon in such a style, got regular treatment before driving for a shopping. Since both places are well air-conditioned, long hair works like a jacket to cover her neck and shoulders.
Spanish First
StandardYes, Mei-Shun would, certainly. However, she asked Shin to order a new score composed by Master F. Chopin. Nocturne No. 20 “Lento con gran espressione” was heard as BGM for a popular TV drama she liked before. She made it a rule to study Spanish before practicing this lyrical tune. It is shocking anyway that half-an-year interval decayed her memory accumulated by the same period.
CD Please
StandardOh, Mei-Shun made a mistake again. How careless she is — forgot to draw CD of kabuki dance music from a player at a nearby community center, where her lesson for Dr. M is given on Wednesdays. Typhoon Krosa brought short-time yet severe shower this morning, prevented her from visiting Mrs. M who owns the key. It is getting better in the afternoon, let her drop in there after the nearest shrine.
Autumn seems to have come in the sky
After 4Y + 19Wks
StandardMeow, mom told me that she received a phone call from Dr. A. I do not understand what “Yes” results mean, yet feel very happy because she looks so. You do not leave me alone at home through a night these days. Purr, good of you, who had been absent for nearly a whole month before. Not only your health but also mine and dad’s are the key to keep our stiff, upper lips.
Neither for me nor human dieters
