Today would be the last to have this torrid weather, we heard. Growling wind has been so strong that our cucumber vines were all blown down on the ground. Only one among three babies stays alive. Are you edible? Shin tried a bite, said that it tasted sour. Even kappa living in Ushiku Pond would not like you …
Mikan-chan had a better result in a urinary check today. It is so much a pleasure for mom, yet she cannot stop worried about Tora-chan. Maybe she has a fever caused by the injured leg. Crispy foods should be shelved for a while, retort-pouch ones would be preferred. Dr. O prescribed an antibiotic powder to take twice a day. We sincerely hope they work.
… for a whole day. We saw her bend the right, rear leg yesterday. It looked clear that she had a pain there, yet she never let us touch it. Did you fight with somebody? Or get a poisonous bite by a horsefly? Oh, you had no breakfast. We worried about her all day long. In the evening, when mom-in-law started watering the garden, she unexpectedly appeared from the mint bush. Welcome back, darling.
Sigh of relief again. This is the 4th visit to the hospital to see Dr. A after Mei-Shun left there. However, another sigh is for her plan of diet, which miserably failed so far. It is awful. Obesity is a kind of disease. All the same for the plump, or even worse because they tend to take themselves still approved to be healthy. Such an idea already looks unhealthy, doesn’t it?
I’m in good health.
Mei-Shun’s mother was born on August 1st. She spends her birthday at a lodge she owns in Kusatsu, Gunma Prefecture. We therefore used to hold a lunch party one month earlier. This year she prefers staying at home to eating out — well, no problem. Three women lack nothing to cook and chat.
Professor S once told Mei-Shun that bracelets seemed to be for men. And that her husband, ex-ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiare, had asked his sweetheart to hand-make some. He is absolutely right — they must have ultimate power to protect him (^-^),

It stopped raining in the morning. We might be able to see Orihime and Hikoboshi stars at night; the former is Japanese name of Vega while the latter Altair. Mei-Shun’s wish to bind on our tree is to have good sweets symbolizing this romantic festival.
It is hard to dance in the middle of summer of course, yet humidity might be worse: it often causes a heatstroke indoors. “Dry” mode of air conditioners therefore works very well this season. And fans are worth your purchase, to make a good air circulation. Now, let’s start practicing Suisen-Tanzen.

into a “spear”.
Accidents could occur, sometimes without any reason. Today’s Mikan-chan is so peaceful on a cushion. Hi, Omochi-chan, how do you feel? Or did you know why yesterday? Even your bites might be caused by anything. Well, well.
Our of the blue, Mikan-chan made mom’s bed her restroom. Honey, you must explain this. It rains today. Mom has no place to sleep on. Do you want her to catch a cold? … hey, where are you?
