Musical Memory

Standard

Mei-Shun practices “Clair de Lune” composed by Master Debussy, her favorite almost every day. It is because even a day off seems to deprive her of its tune, flow and notes. Although the same occur in others, her attention is on that simple and beautiful score right now. Lunar May started from yesterday, let her sing with Ms. Piano both above and another by Master Beethoven.

Sphygmomanometer? What a difficult name to call a medical apparatus! Mei-Shun uses it these days in early mornings. According to her mother, it is better to measure twice: when we are tense, shocking numbers often appear on the display. All the same at a hospital for checkup. She totally understands and follows above advice. If necessary, a photo of good results at home would be taken.

This date has come again for me and mom to visit “Arles” together, purr. Mr. Diamond, you are really a good guy keeping both of our convenience and enough space for construction workers. Of course you too, Ms. Scarlet, who temporary stays at another car park across a street. We got on the former around 15 : 00 tea time. Dad in weight control requested tiny macarons only.

Yes, it would be the last chance to see clearly — current outside wall of Shin, Mei-Shun and mom-in-law’s house. The husband stayed with the wife until 9 : 00, helped workers to dismantle wooden porch in the garden. Their menu for today is to put up scaffolding, cut backyard gingko branches. A light rainfall from early morning has stopped. Now she starts to work as usual, after saying good day to him.

Shin finally decided to repair our house; change waterproof sheets on the roof floor, repaint outer walls. Since flowers and trees beside windows would be damaged, Mei-Shun dug up grapefruit and cactus for placing in other ground. The former 3 were gentle enough to let her find smooth shafts to pinch. However, the latter rejected her fingers with fine, painful thorns.

Thanks a million to you kind 494 followers of this site. Please listen, Shin and Mei-Shun visited 二所ノ関部屋 on rainy weekend, watched rikishi training in the morning. They first went through a warm-up including 四股 and 腰割り exercise. Then moved to すり足 in 2 土俵 rings, used by 幕下=maku-shita, 3rd highest rank sumo wrestlers and upper ones respectively.

Mei-Shun feels a bit confused. Why do they say that 2023 rainy season “seemed to” start yesterday almost clear, not today with a heavy rainfall from early morning? Well, different from her childhood, weather forecasts never declare it. Beloved father, you preferred sunny weekends to play golf. Your younger daughter does on weekdays to dance with horseies, not in kimono.

Shining Silver

Mei-Shun resumed French and Spanish radio lessons from Monday. Absent for half an year, yet it was amazing that she has not forgotten the latter so much. Precisely, she has studied the former since a university student, while 4 and 3 grades held by APEF were gained after she moved to Ibaraki. Just 15 minutes spent for each anyway, such practice makes her weekdays more satisfactory.

Pottery Place

Mei-Shun came back toward this hair salon, a 5-minute walk from home: she was troubled a little here actually in April. Learning from the 1st candidate shop nearer-by, she told about her problem to the owner lady at the 2nd. “As for dyeing, my advice is to see your accustomed beautician again”, she said. “If you would like cut and shampoo only, we require no reservation”. How convenient it sounds!

Happy birthday daddy, purr. It is great pleasure of mine and mom to celebrate the day you were born. For mom’s mom-in-law living downstairs the same of course, looks happy cooking much. He planted 棗=natsu-me, named because they give leaf buds in summer, both outdoors and indoors. The former is a young tree purchased in our country, the latter fresh fruits he brought from China.
