Mei-Shun received a newly printed 5,000-yen bill. Many people told her that they have not met it, although done 10,000- and 1,000-yen ones. Master Tsuda Umeko, it is her honor to graduate from the university you founded. Would you be お年玉=new-year gift for one of her nephews? And Master Higuchi Ichiyo, who is on a previous bill of the same price, came out of another ATM?
Shrine Sakura
StandardShin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun drove to 加波山神社 on weekend. It was the 1st time for them to visit there, meant to make their 2nd 雨引観音 tour. The former is located on the way to the latter; the husband asked the wife if they try or not. She chose a kind of challenge, reached another attractive place. Two pairs of 狛犬 welcomed, while let them know a mountain trail starts from here.
Capital Cities
StandardTyphoon Ampil is jogging toward north along eastern coast of Kanto area. Weather forecasts warn us of severe storm, let Mikan-chan, Mei-Shun and mom-in-law shut themselves up at home. On the contrary, Shin went out by Ms. Moon for Tokyo office. Please do not worry about him, the kindest 518 followers. He is one of the best drivers in our country. By the way, Friday end of obon holidays would make Kyoto crowded with 五山送り火 sightseers.
Fruit to Fish
StandardThis date a month has come again for me and mom to visit “Arles” on Ms. Scarlet. However, husband of beloved Master Mei-Shu Mr. O gave her a phone call in the morning. Frozen foods arrived from Hokkaido? He would like us to pick them up at his place? Sounds fine, purr. Shall we make a slight change in our plan? There is a doughnut shop just nearby.

Splendid Sumo
StandardMei-Shun read that her favorite rikishi, seriously injured in a July bout, had a successful operation. Another article featured his close friend, opponent on that day received a message saying “don’t worry about me, it happened only on 土俵 ring”. Your family including 富山 supporters, stable master and brothers, colleagues, fans are all ready to welcome you back, Mr. Nice Guy.
Halcyon Harmony
StandardIt is not so easy for Mei-Shun to enjoy horsey riding as planned during midsummer, which seems to continue at least 2 months recently. Warning on heat stroke often announced, tropical nights at/over 25 degrees Celsius make us all exhausted. Ms. Piano, thanks a million for giving her time of delight at home. And a half moon in dark sky, great to see you in banana yellow.
Japanese Culture@holiday
StandardYesterday celebrated Mountain Day, on Sunday to let us feel happier replaced by this Monday. It would lead toward obon holidays from 13th to 16th, the latter on Friday that counts serial 9 days in total. Mei-Shun would like to relax while practice kabuki dance in yukata. If possible she means, still with heat rash on her left shin — sounds better starting in a capital letter.
Cheerful Cicada
StandardMei-Shun enjoys their chorus at horsey riding clubs both in Tsukuba and 龍ヶ崎, while not so much around home. More of them come out of the ground every 7 years she heard, 2024 might be between peaks. Do you like it, Mr. MATSURI? He might be her best partner to dance right now. After briefly grooming him, she looked up to meet a 6th crescent in light pink above woods.
Sunlight Sake
StandardMom had been expecting どなん, 泡盛=awamori liquor distilled specifically made in Okinawa, Yonaguni Island after consuming ミズナラ. When dad returned from Taiwan, she opened a box to find only a 与那国 bottle — name of the island itself. They share 60% alcoholic, cool body, wrapped by dried palm leaves, leading to nice appetite, etc. No problem for you, purr.

Here and There
Standard… they goes. Mei-Shun means that Shin, niece M-chan and Professor M all visit Taiwan this summer; guys on business, student for a workshop. On the contrary, she almost stays home while sometimes goes out on Ms. Scarlet accompanied by Mikan-chan. With 立秋=risshu, the 1st of autumnal 二十四節気 today, such a chance arrived to see Dr. W before conveying get-well wishes to Mr. Danone Caesar at 龍ヶ崎 club.
