Ocean Green

Standard

Meow, dad has found this precious stone for mom, in color of my eyes. It took him quite long, yet a time during which he really enjoyed. I understand it well. Mom’s face in rejoice makes me happy, so does for him I’m sure, purr. Now my parents consider how to make it — into a ring, a necklace or another. Or they can enjoy it by itself for a while, like she does in the “desert star”, a gift from Professor S.

Boil & Steam

Standard

Here Mei-Shun’s new rice cooker follows. This shining black from T. Co., Ltd. has an inner pot of earthenware, easy to serve aromatic baked rice at the bottom. Only a problem is a slight smell of vinyl aired just after pearl white grains are finished. Shin calls 一日の長, one-day longer technique for the previous one made by P. Co., Ltd. that his wife took as a smart expression.

Unique Friends

Standard

Hello, 狛犬=koma-inu guardians. Their names are “阿”=a and “吽”=n, meaning breathing out and in to pronounce respectively. Mei-Shun greets the former before giving a prayer — oh? Who is this, taking a rest on阿’s cheek? Maybe you two are playing a hide-and-seek, closely resemble each other. All right, she would bring omikuji lots to lonely吽 and read them with him/her.

Day by Day

Standard

Both “Le Cygne” and ” Life Is Merry-go-round” are never easy to play. Simple scores allow no mistouch, makes Mei-Shun a bit sickened when she makes some. However, 30-minute practice on Ms. Piano every day is almost impossible, especially after horseback riding. Why won’t she make it reduced to a quarter, then? Even a minute is better than none.

Caps and Hats

Standard

… are among fashion items Mei-Shun loves. She found today a cute knit with a sale tag of half price! All right, since tomorrow is her lunar birthday, you would be her gift purchased by herself. And oh, you carry the same tag as well? She would like to bring both of you home. Such an exciting shopping after a tiny operation actually. Good bye, an atheroma in her left ear.

Queen Vitamin-M

Standard

Mei-Shun is a fruits lover. So was her late father, had some after every meal. They used to enjoy various citruses in February, never thought of strawberry — quite expensive, only for inpatients at hospitals, he said. Daddy, thanks to agricultural research and development, we have already rushed into another best season of those red, crispy and juicy babies.

Roseau Pensant

Standard

Mei-Shun visited her mother’s home today carrying a box of jellied and chocolate-coated apples made by a chocolaterie in Hino, Tokyo. They enclose leaflets with each product, quoting famous words on what human life is. Since mom opened her younger daughter’s 10-day-belated St. Valentine gift after lunch together, the latter found it accompanied by Dr. Pascal for the first time.

Grace Pursuit

Standard

It seems to Mei-Shun that Japanese dance and horseback riding share much. For example, her lower body needs to be very stable while upper including arms and shoulders flexible enough. She might have learned how to do so in gallop lessons with Vanilla-san, feels so happy. Another target is comfortable rein handling in trot with blackish-brown Madoka-chan and snow-white Maria.

 

Moon in Coffee

Standard

Lunar 2018 starts from today. Mei-Shun visited the nearest shrine for the second New-Year greeting to Gods while prayed them for good health of her family. Since that includes successful diet for herself as well, she felt reservation at a hair salon on this date would promise a fortunate result. Following cute cup and saucer was served there, 5 minutes from her home.

All Whites

Standard

Swans, black-headed gulls and plums. 花鳥風月=kachofugetsu; flower, bird, wind and moon represents Japanese beauty while implicates many others including patterns on kimono, the sun which enables the moon to see, mountains where wind comes down from, etc. These friends of Mei-Shun floating on 乙戸沼 Pond surface reminded her of the flower lane, let her drop in the bakery again.
