According to net news, all wrestlers belonging to 二所ノ関部屋 would attend today an entertainment sumo held in 龍ヶ崎 City which accommodates Mei-Shun’s horsey riding club. Actually, they informed Shin on it in May. He and his wife considered if they visit a gymnasium serves for this rare event, concluded not to. Her favorite rikishi would be absent, either.
Miraculous Month
StandardWe have a full moon tonight, still seen blurred to Mei-Shun’s eyes through a covered window. It would be removed tomorrow meaning our home repair finished. All 3 family members are well, 2 women at home while only man in Chicago. A clear 十六夜 is therefore wished by the former. And the latter could enjoy it on board perhaps, heading east to Boston.
Watered Widely
StandardHappy birthday, mother. She stays in 草津 from weekend enjoying cooler weather till next month. It seems to Mei-Shun the best gift from beloved father to his wife. And it might be another for their daughters: a rainfall from early morning after 8 serial days of intense heat. How nice it is to stop air conditioners for ventilation all through rooms! Cicadas sound grateful as well.
Time Travel
StandardSo this is the last day of solar July. Shin flew to the U. S. for business on Saturday, while Mei-Shun stays with Mikan-chan at home. The wife always follows the husband on a flight schedule site, that made her feel a bit weird yesterday. He left at midnight, arrived in the evening of the same date?? Well, 16-hour difference gives such a sense. One of our dreams has already come true.
Dieter Delight
StandardHi, Mr. Danone Caesar. It is Mei-Shun’s great pleasure to walk and trot on you again. She wishes dance could follow soon, yet not in a hurry. Children enjoy summer vacation through next month, why don’t you do the same? If you and other friends feel better, happier this mom would be. And please listen, she saw the best numbers on a scale last night after dancing with Ms. Carino Piccola.
Missing Moon
StandardMei-Shun practices “Clair de Lune” composed by Master Debussy almost every day. Her fingers recognized recently a few progress; score pages turning reduced, sometimes never. That might mean she memorized 70 – 80% of it. By the way, shape of that graceful entity in the sky is blurred to her eyes these days — an enormous net covers all windows. She therefore walks out of home every night.
Severe Sunshine
StandardMeow, they announced on Saturday that 2023 rainy season seemed to have gone from Kanto area. Mercury indicates nearly 37 degrees Celsius today, mom’s temperature when she does not feel so fine. On the other hand, it is much cooler than our normal. I therefore prefer landing of stairs to the roof floor, or a south-facing window frame in dad’s study.

Joy of Kyoto: 2
StandardBefore seeing 大船鉾, Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun dined at C’est Sympa. Their favorite French restaurant here looked fine serving for 4 groups. Last year made them feel a bit worried if the chef and his wife would get along: above couple were the only guests that night. Now that “novel” coronavirus is similar to seasonal flu, you might have to be on a waiting list.
Torrid Tournament
StandardMei-Shun enjoyed sumo wrestling on TV yesterday, when it was 千穐楽=the last day of 15-day match. With Shin’s birthday on lunar calendar as well, she vacuumed all rooms before putting on kimono. Oh, 3 rikishi of 3rd highest 幕下 rank, belonging to 二所ノ関部屋 succeeded in 勝ち越し meaning 4 or more wins. 2nd highest 十両 one also did by 10 wins, while her favorite of other stable won 8 in the highest 幕内.
Joy of Kyoto: 1
StandardShin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun made another trip to the ancient 1,000-year capital of our country. Gion Festival serves 後祭=the latter celebration right now, immediately after 前祭=the former held until 17th. Great to see you again, beautiful 大船鉾. Where is your golden dragon head? It might be stored safely at somewhere, ready to appear on 24th for 山鉾巡行 parade.
