Lunar July started from Saturday. Mei-Shun meant to visit the nearest shrine, yet hard weather prevented her from it — heat rashes appeared on her upper body here and there, after she enjoyed dancing with Mr. Marumorita on Friday. They were exacerbated by artificial cloth used at a hair salon, made her give up above plan. According to Dr. K, we have 5 seasons instead of 4, including current “severest summer”.
Hello friend, welcome back to Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun. The husband just went aboard an airplane for Tokyo from Mumbai, when the wife noticed you on a tiny kitchen window. It works as your dinner plate, doesn’t it? Please go ahead, letting her take several photos. Although your back looks like a fallen leaf, it turns toward shining white in tummy. All fingers are tipped with pearl beads.
Mei-Shun walked to a hair salon for shampoo and curl: the other is for dyeing, also in high heels. The former takes just an hour, the latter almost twice since medicine needs time of calming down. She makes it a rule to read papers on served drink, always by chic cups or glasses. Some terms are checked up on a textbook who occasionally calls her “d.e.b.” meaning plumpy.
Purr, 山鉾巡行=floats parade of 後祭=祇園祭 subsequent celebration was held, in sultry weather this time at our ancient capital. I, dad and mom prefer that quiet atmosphere — no stalls serve, nobody walks inebriated. Above is 大船鉾 prepared for 宵々々山 2 years before. Dragon head might be kept safe elsewhere, replaced by a big origami craft.

Purr, this is the day of a month we visit “Arles”. However, it is closed on Tuesdays while mom has an appointment at a dental clinic in the evening. On the other paw of mine, dad gave her a lot of Turkish sweets. Since he is on a diet, almost all of these must be consumed by her alone. Only exception was above mint tea they tried last night. “Wow, this is liquid cough drop,” she commented.

Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun enjoyed 十五夜 round moon late last night. They hope it was shared by Shin who stays in a western country 6 hours behind. This week accommodates many of that celestial beauty; 十三夜 or the second prettiest on Monday, 小望月 or 14th, above said the most attractive, 十六夜 tonight and full shape 満月 tomorrow. The latter 2 might be among rain clouds called 雨月.
Quite dry June 2025 let Mei-Shun often sing rainy scores with Ms. Piano, aside from her favorite one featuring moonlight. On the contrary, we have repeatedly seen blurred figure of that celestial beauty. Dear tiny Mother Earth, how many years have passed since she picked you up last time? Great to spray your scent again into this helmet for horsey riding; velvet and crystal stones, Shin’s choice.
Here Mei-Shun waits for her hair to dye enough. She actually reserved it on weekend, yet failed 5-minute walk in time. When she checked a planner before noon, it was found one hour earlier! She rushed to a phone, asked the beautician if postponement is available: this technique is the most important, followed by cut and shampoo. Sorry high-heeled pumps, there are too many puddles to put you on today.
Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun got on Ms. Moon toward 三昧塚古墳 on weekend. Sunlight lit them up through thin clouds, looked like curtains covering 霞ヶ浦. After greeting an ancient king, they dropped in a supermarket where amazingly various sake bottles are accommodated. Above was chosen by the wife to accompany sashimi for dinner.
Mei-Shun has already noticed that there is a nice shop selling rice crackers on the way to Tsukuba horsey riding club. When she drove Ms. Scarlet to see Dr. W the other day, an idea popped into her mind: why would not she bring some as souvenirs? It looks like a restaurant while serving for shopping only. Several bags were brought home of course, quite fond of by Shin as well.
