Ms. Piano took decent care by Ms. T this afternoon. The latter lady brought a roll of felt to repair damper, worn down to have teeth on surface. “That proves you practice well”, she told Mei-Shun. Thanks to you, baby, who always stay with mom giving her power to continue efforts. Even little by little, she seems to go ahead. Would she try a new score, with only a month left in 2023?

StandardLabor Thanksgiving Day it is, I heard from mom. However, she drove dad to the nearest station as usual. He seems a bit busy, after a short business trip to the U.S. last week. Now, shall we get ready for freezing weekend? Mr. Blue, great to see you again. What do you put on the head? お赤飯=red-bean rice cooked by mom’s mom-in-law living downstairs? Sounds nice, purr.

Baby Buds
StandardHere she comes: Princess Cymby. Since rainy season 2023 failed to let her bathe under natural water, Mei-Shun was wondering whether Her Highness would give any flowers. Still, a lovely leaf bud appeared in September to move her a great deal — how powerful His Highness is as well! They are half in number compared with last year, on one-fourth condition.

StandardWhat do you kind 509 followers think is the happiest for Mei-Shun as to recent trip? Well, she really enjoyed packing, drive to the airport and a short stay there, flight, sumo of course, good meals including sake made in 福岡, home place of her beloved father. However, the best was to come home with Shin and Mikan-chan together. Or precisely the flight back to Tokyo since he headed to the office.

StandardDuring every basho held 6 times per year, sumo wrestlers belong to 序ノ口, 序二段, 三段目 and 幕下 have 7 bouts. They starts from around 9 : 00 to let the highest 幕内 finish until 18 : 00. That is why the venue opens at 8 : 30. “We would come one day before next time”, Shin told Mei-Shun. “…then all shops and matches are available”. She feels pleased to see him satisfied.
Light and Lovely
StandardMei-Shun and Mikan-chan got on Ms. Scarlet at 9 : 00. Partner of the former is Mr. Danone Caesar. Boy, today is the last chance to use Mr. Sirius on you. A friendly member gave advice to bring here instead her own bridle. See you next month. Coming back home, she saw amazing numbers on a scale; no need to juxtapose herself and sumo wrestlers in weight.
Delightful Drive
StandardI, dad and mom visited “Arles” together today, purr. Tree leaves lining 東大通り street have turned into bright red, yellow while keeping green a little. Since he goes on a business trip to the U.S. this evening, we dropped in a rental storage which accommodates his heavy overcoats. Oh, a tiny key she brought was for Mr. E, not to open a shutter here.

StandardThe only sad matter for Mei-Shun regarding current 九州場所 was absence of her favorite rikishi. They say he was injured in a leg during 巡業 tour held in October. So hard a job it is, building strong muscle and mind simply coated by their own fat. She therefore cheered all wrestlers, putting on a 羽織 jacket. Now it is over, let’s go to a restaurant serving longtooth grouper loved by above guys.

StandardLunar October starts from today. Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun returned from 福岡 — it was their 1st experience to enjoy sumo in person, while on 初日=the 1st of this 15-day tournament. All different from one seen on TV, wrestlers and 行司 referees in kimono looked like pretty dolls. It might be thanks to nice distance toward 土俵 ring and lighting.
Terrific Tour
StandardMei-Shun received invitation to Kaori-san‘s exhibition held next January in Kyoto. Oh, it opens on birthday of the former. She therefore would choose another day to see one of her most important friends, when the latter artist stays at the gallery. What a great chance to visit that ancient capital of our country! Best restaurants are waiting for Shin, Mikan-chan and her mom as well.
