Oh, what a busy day for Shin and Mei-Shun it was. The husband returned home around midnight, left this morning before 7 : 00 to the nearest station driven by the wife. She started a laundry machine, read newspaper, hung futon mats, vacuumed all over rooms including stairs and even under a sofa. After a cup of tea, she went out for a bank, postal office and shopping. Now he turns to a business trip.
Celebration Continues
StandardYes, it does for Mei-Shun until lunar Christmas Day next year. On the other hand, she recognizes that most people in our country immediately turn to new-year preparation after that day on solar calendar. Moreover, many of them take December 24th main — including mom-in-law who replaces garden bells and ribbons by pine branches on 25th.
Pink and Pretty
StandardHi, Princess Maria, how was your Christmas? Shin, Mei-Shun and Mikan-chan spent a great time. He ordered a gorgeous bouquet as usual, with fragrant chrysanthemums put between roses. She made a chiffon cake, managed to succeed thanks to a diligent convection microwave oven. 野菜鍋=simmered vegetable pot, fried meat and other plates filled their dining table.
Eventful Excursion
StandardMeow, lunar December starts from today. Mom brought me to a hair salon nearby Tokyo Station for her last cut and fringe making in 2022. Oh, cold wind let us see Mt. Fuji beyond Ushiku Pond. A cup noodles maker looked fine, so was Skytree tower. We were pleased with this tiny travel followed by shopping at a department store. And we cordially wish you kind 485 followers Merry Christmas on weekend!

Merry Music
StandardThanks a million, Shin, for looking for and purchasing CDs featuring Ms. Sarah Vaughan, one of the greatest jazz singers. Mei-Shun heard her glamorous husky voice for the first time on Mr. Diamond, a car in dark blue given by her beloved father. Tape collection of him including classical piano pieces also descended to his younger daughter, confirmed with stronger media.
Creative Condition
StandardReal winter has come, or at least Mei-Shun and her family feel so these several days. Ms. Scarlet is frozen on all windows when she drives Shin to the nearest station, let the wife rush to the bathtub for warm water. However, 霜柱=frost needle plants appear in her mother’s garden thanks to such low temperature. Fallen petals of camellia sasanqua give a chic carpet.
Gecko Gekko
StandardHi, tiny friend, great to see you again — yet all right? Mei-Shun has taken it normal that your species would sleep in winter until it gets warmer. Or you might stay indoors from the time of birth, had no chance to learn how to hibernate. She hopes that you will grow enough here to lead a comfortable life even outdoors. By the way, did you see that beautiful 二十六夜 crescent early this morning?
Risky Red
StandardHere is an image of a plant Shin sent to Mei-Shun this morning, asking what the name of it whose bright color caught his eyes along a mountain path. She immediately replied that it might be a lacquer tree or Toxicodendron trichocarpum. He was cautious enough not to touch it: this breed often causes serious rash. Every rose has its thorn, please prefer safe Christmas trees.
Tea Together
StandardMeow, it is the last day of 2022 for me and mom to visit Arles. However, dad e-mailed to us at noon that he had to visit Miyazaki from evening. Tiny party would therefore be held tomorrow night, with all of us attend. Now chocolate cakes seem clever choice to store in a refrigerator, while the first tarte tatin we see here. Oh, a swan made of chou à la crème is for me? Purr … purrr …

Mellow Maiden
StandardHi, Princess Maria, great to see and dance with you again. Oops, please do not rush into the tail of Mr. Opal. Mei-Shun and you are not in nearby wood but going around the field today. Here is your friend Highness, growing little by little to bloom. She had to survive among tiny snails coming up from the bottom of her throne pot: passed torrid summer might serve for their habitat.
