Smoggy Skytree

Standard

Mei-Shun went to a hair salon nearby Tokyo Station after a few days more than 2 whole months. With a slight rain, it was not the best for treatment yet cool enough to set bangs again. 牛久 Pond was halcyon as usual, a chimney of a famous noodle maker was working well. However, it was not easy to catch that 634-meter high broadcast tower whose top fully covered by grey clouds.

Thanks a lot, Master 二所ノ関=nisho-no-seki. He sent Shin and Mei-Shun a face towel his current and previous names printed on. It serves as a small gift for above couple to join the support group. However, why did 番付表=sumo wrestler ranking list of 九月場所=September or autumnal tournament arrive first? It seems better to convey gratitude before a 15-day match starts.

Perfect Performance

Have you kind 482 followers seen Jupiter shining in dark sky? Mei-Shun enjoys it tonight as well, when a half moon growing day by day from the west toward south. She would soon be followed by her eldest brother among planets of the sun including our mother earth. There, he always hides behind tree tops in the east, suddenly jumps up onto a bluish black carpet over our heads.

Mei-Shun made a new rule: walking on days when she does not go for horsey riding. During recent severe summer, she perspires with no exercise. Or such activity is advised to refrain from, never serves for muscle building. Thanks to cool evening, she enjoyed looking around 乙戸沼 Pond on foot today after 4 months. Oh, beautiful 5th crescent welcomes her and Mikan-chan back home.

Here is 紅環=beni-tamaki, whose pretty looking and sweetness moved Mei-Shun so much — delicacies come not only from kitchens but farmland. She is a fruit lover like her beloved father, while sweets are quite liked by mother’s side as well. Why does she continue to talk about dessert? It is because she deserves it tonight by labor indoors and dance outdoors.

Too Good

Standard

Meow, mom gives me a tiny bowl of milk these days. It is one of my favorite treats, purr. She dilutes a teaspoon of it with an equal amount of water, makes creamy dip. “Bon appétit,” she says and serve it to me who attends her every meal at home. By the way, it is you who have a big appetite today, isn’t it? Two mountains of rice in a normal 茶碗 seems to mean a large size.

Shin gave Mei-Shun a wonderful dessert; brilliant, edible jewelry of titled fruit. Grown by Mr. I called “master”, a box of Shining Muscat, 巨峰=kyoho and 紅環=beni-tamaki delivered last night. The wife loves green ones like the 1st, maybe descends from Alexandria via Rosário. Black ones like the 2nd is quite normal, yet all different from the same breed sold at supermarkets.

Lunar September starts from today, meaning 朔 at night. Mei-Shun dropped in the nearest shrine on the way to home after dancing with Princess Maria. She drew two omikuji lots as usual, one for Shin and the other for herself. Here is the result; 小吉 meaning a little lucky, while 末吉 the least. Since the latter says travel would not be good, she bound it beside 狛犬 N-chan wishing his/her protection.

After 7Y + 25Wks

Standard

… and 3 days have passed since Mei-Shun left the hospital when Dr. A kindly gave her a “Yes” phone call this afternoon. The former lady said that next CT scheduled on 14th, March 2023 could be the last. Well, that scanning is no burden if added to one of half-an-year checks. And her body under neck, above legs are precisely examined. Only good things it has.

Thanks a million, Mr. M. You are the first rucksack Mei-Shun purchased. It might be decades before when she started to work for N. Co., Ltd. after graduating from an university. She met Shin there, while just a good friend at the time she fell in love with you. Always on her back in walking, your logotype print was removed little by little, string seams frayed.
