Hi, little lizard, great to see you. Geckos often visit Mei-Shun indoors, while you stay outdoors. The former tend to come friendly into her sight, yet the latter rush below grasses when she greets you in the garden. Do you feel cooler there? And oh, lady beetle, it was you who sounded weird between a shutter and a window. So sorry for leaving you, who looks exhausted. Would you like some watermelon?
Care More
StandardMei-Shun went to see Dr. M, her home dentist for final check after three-time cleaning today. Their regular meeting has been biannual so far, yet changed into 4 month — dental score of the patient worsened. It is partly caused by her hesitation to use floss on one of Ame-chan twins. Since it has glass fiber core, the owner felt like keeping it untouched while another is removable, easy to clean.
Home with U
StandardSo a month full of Shin’s business trip abroad started. Since most of us have obon summer vacation, it is not efficient to stay in our country, he says. His first destination is Germany, landed yesterday noon. A short trip to Italy is included, that forced him to carry two suitcases. After working there for a week, he once comes home to see Mei-Shun and Mikan-chan before turning to Asian countries.
Angelic Sweeteners
StandardDieter Mei-Shun realized that she is quite fond of sweet drinks, including coffee and tea to add sugar by herself. Or it might not be correct, because this sweet friend of her is a bit too caloric to get along every day. Here artificial ones like acesulfame K, aspartame, sucralose and erythritol while extracts from natural plants like stevia, monk fruit and xylitol help.
Happy Birthday
Standard… to you, mom, who stays in 草津 on summer vacation. Both of solar August and lunar July start today, looks the best timing to visit the nearest shrine. Mei-Shun would make a wish to Gods to protect you in a cool environment, from a frying pan. Since it is too dangerous to go out right now (around 15 : 00, with no shower like yesterday), she would wait until this grilling sunlight is alleviated.
Brilliant Assignment
StandardMei-Shun pulled out Venetian beads which Professor S gave her several years before. When they met on weekend before last, the former put on a necklace designed by herself while kindly finished up by the latter lady. It was so much a pleasing experience that she felt like doing it again. Now, this most unique one would be her next challenge. Since many shades are included, it might require a kind of color dilution.
After 4Y + 17Wks
StandardThanks to half an year Dr. A gave Mei-Shun at the end of January, more than 4 years have already passed since the ex-inpatient almost forgot the disease. Smart phone schedule reminded her of today’s appointment with the doctor, who said in winter that they would see again when it becomes hot. Well, not only being pretty and gentle, she is also a great fortune teller.
Summer’s Come!
Standard10 days are said to be the hottest in our country, after the end of rainy season. It really seems to Mei-Shun — news this morning informed us that the long-stayed front (delayed 8 days from average, amazing 30 days compared to last year!) has finally left Kanto Area. Heat wave and humidity descend toward the Japanese archipelago at the same time, more and more cities hit nearly 35 degrees Celsius.
Typhoon Soon
StandardMei-Shun went to a nearby hair saloon this morning. It was really hot with grilling sunlight, made her run from shadow to shadow between 5-minute walk to there. Rainy season seemed to have gone, yet it still stays around Kanto Area where Nari, the 6th typhoon of this year targets as a goal. According to weather forecasts, it would give heavy rainfall on weekend.
Catch It
StandardMeow, it has finally become comfortable for me. Dad starts an air conditioner of his study early in the morning to cool himself down after taking a bath, while mom perspires in the living room until 10 o’clock. My best place therefore changes from 広縁, wooden indoor veranda of their Japanese-style bedroom to the study. She opens wider window, closes a screen attached to let outdoor air come in. Purr …
