Crisp Crack

Standard

Oh my careless mom again. She boiled water in a lovely kettle, put a wet beaker beside to dry. This action has resulted in no problem so far — until today when our ears caught a kind of explosive sound. Poor item who worked hard, while whose heat tolerance might deteriorate little by little. You did very well, thanks a million. Dad brought you home years before, didn’t he?

Joy of Plum: 2

Standard

Mei-Shun shared lunch time with M-chan. Another nice coffee shop is located within University of Tsukuba campus, informed by gentle Professor M, the best moon photographer. 梅=ume plum blossom is often featured in February, here as well by 梅珈琲. Well, still a bit sore throat for the elder, their choice preferred milder drink, soup, bread and dessert.

Joy of Plum: 1

Standard

We have 雨水=usui, the 2nd of vernal and whole 二十四節気 today. Mei-Shun drove Ms. Scarlet heading a cafe to see M-chan. On the way to there, the former aunt dropped in a repair shop. When she walked toward a hair salon last month, a pair of short boots warned her of their trouble: tiny rubber parts under high heels were almost worn out. “I found a good guy for it”, that kind beautician said.

Recovery Rhythm

Standard

Mei-Shun enjoyed dancing with Mademoiselle Angel and Mr. White Mocha today. Actually her throat has been a bit weak from younger time, cold sometimes causes awful cough. She therefore turned to Dr. W, her home doctor after seeing Professor M on the same Monday last week. Prescription medicine by above lady gave 80% recuperation taking 10 days.

Happy Honey

Standard

Here he comes, St. Valentine. It might be one of the sweetest days for Mei-Shun to express her gratitude toward dear gentlemen. Or ladies of course, including her mothers, sisters, friends, etc. She ordered delicious chocolates as usual, while had to stay home through a whole week caused by a cold with a cough. What is the best way to deal with these 2 boxes left behind?

Peel Potato

Standard

Storm sounds blustering all over our country today; blizzard rages in northern area, violent wind descends toward south. Mei-Shun shuts herself indoors on such a day, giving up any activity outdoors. Now almost all job is over, shall we take a break on fruits, Mikan-chan? Please listen, mom found little kiwis stored in Ms. Cuby instead of pomme de terre.

Gentle Greeting

Standard

And we would see the most beautiful 十五夜, meaning 小正月=January 15th on lunar calendar tonight. Called Snow Moon, she appeared low in eastern sky just when Mei-Shun got on Ms. Scarlet for shopping. The latter wished to take photos, yet the former lady floated above an electric cable — looked like being cut into slices. Please do not, even if she resembles a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Baked a Bit

Standard

Oh my careless mom. She did it on her right hand, touched a pan dried beside a boiling kettle. Would you like me to help, because you are busy as much as craving mine or 猫の手も借りたい? Well, I prefer basking in sunlight. It hurt, then tiny blisters emerged. Pain has immediately gone thanks to balm grandma gave her. One night sleep made it flat with browner shade.

Caught a Cold

Standard

We would see 十三夜=13th moon, the 2nd beautiful next to full tonight. It also means birthday of Mei-Shun on lunar calendar. She therefore prepared a bottle of Madeira wine Shin kindly ordered for her solar day. Actually, the other they opened first had a cork so dry that broke into liquid. “We should have laid them”, he said. However, she coughs too hard to enjoy alcohol.

Pads and Paws

Standard

Please kindly let Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun to show their highest appreciation for you gentle 525th follower here, along with 524 distinguished guests of course. Dance activity by the latter shifts from the one in kimono toward the other on horseies these days. Her songs including “Kanon” composed by Master J. Pachelbel flow more fluently on Ms. Piano.
