Mei-Shun won a ticket for sumo basho held in November at 福岡. It is birthplace of her beloved father, something might lead his younger daughter. She actually tried to get one for 両国, Tokyo from Sunday yet failed — well, many buffs of this sport prefer better access. Since she was joking when participated in a kind of raffle draw on the net, a message to inform on success almost shocked her.
Great Gecko
StandardHello, welcome back to Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun. Called 家守=yamori meaning home protector, they have been quite loved by our family so far. Fluffy paws sometimes hit tails of babies, yet never tried to eat them. They seemed to keep their distance from here while covered with a massive net and strangers in daytime. Now it returned toward a place to feed them at night.
Light Left
StandardMei-Shun got up before 5 : 00 this morning. When she drew a curtain to the west, Ms. Blue was found still shining in the sky — might be a message that we are still in the previous month. All right, she would return to a futon mat to see the 1st day of September on solar calendar with 大安=tai-an, the best among 六曜=riku-yo. School children, please be watchful against heat stroke.
Moon Master
StandardWe are expecting a monthly Blue Moon, the biggest in 2023 tonight. At the end of solar August, Mei-Shun feels summer would really be over; sunrise is getting later, sunset earlier, sunshine creeps into rooms more and more in daytime. She headed her horsey riding club for a class starts at 16 : 00. It is always nice to walk and trot with you, Ms. Last One.
First & Fresh
StandardShin kindly ordered golden peaches for Mei-Shun. Yes, they are on the top of her favorite fruits list. He enjoyed 3 of them, went out early this morning for a business trip to Taiwan. Other 3, his wife and Mikan-chan would stay good girls for 2 nights. According to him, other 2 boxes will follow while grapes as well. They therefore must exercise a lot to consume gorgeous desserts.
Double Drive
StandardMei-Shun got on Ms. Scarlet at noon to visit a hospital in 牛久 for annual check up today. Her previous one was at the beginning of March, just one week before seeing Dr. A. It was a bit too hard to have twice a month, so she chose August for the former. September would find her at another hospital in 土浦. By the way, it is also tough to go under such fierce sunshine, isn’t it?
An Acknowledgement
StandardPlease let me and mom highly appreciate 505th arrival of you kind followers, purr. Our goal number was 500, we are happiest, feeling tense a little to catch proper words to express our exultation. However, as one of meager examples, here are my paws for you to shake. We sincerely wish your better life henceforth, with a glance at cats, kabuki dance, piano, etc. on this site.

Regular Reunion
StandardMei-Shun met Professor M at a coffee shop opened in Tsukuba University campus. At least half an year seems to have passed since they saw each other at her place last time. Outer wall was in color of biscuit, moon mist right now. They talked about his recent business trip to Brazil, beloved Master Mei-Shu and her husband Mr. O, hopefully followed by new appointments.
Love in Largo
StandardMom’s favorite scores on Ms. Piano are mine as well. “Clair de Lune” by Master Debussy, “Pavane pour une Infante Défunte” by M. Ravel, etc. She chooses some of them, practices for approx. 30 minutes several days a week. Oh, would you clean her up on the lid today? All right, crystal image of me and you will move onto the table for a while. Purr … purrr …

Cicada Chorus
StandardWe have 処暑=shosho, the 2nd of autumnal 二十四節気 today. It is said heat would soon be cooled down, while sultry air still stays around us. On the other hand, it gives Mei-Shun an impression that singing guys are not so many this year: almost none flew onto our screen windows. Preferring shady woods like the nearest shrine, they might already feel the next season.
