Slight Sunshine

Standard

Mei-Shun walked to a hair salon in cooler morning. It rains a bit, stops for a while, then drops again even in just 5 minutes. According to weather forecasts, Typhoon Yun-Yeung approaches 伊豆 Islands affecting Kanto area. Yes, we have 二百十日 on 1st of this month: 210th day from 立春=risshun. It warns us of sequential typhoons followed by rainstorm.

Love in Largo

Standard

Mom’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 …

Two Types

Standard

Mei-Shun walked to a hair salon this morning. It takes only 5 minutes, while an hour by train for the other in Tokyo she visited last week. A woman managing the former, dyes only; a guy working for the latter, cuts and curls her longs cheveux. She likes plants and pottery, always serves nice tea. He studies well on beautician science and technology, gives proper advice.

Charming Color

Standard

Here are Mei-Shun’s friends this summer, especially for horsey riding. In order to avoid heat stroke, hydration during lessons is attached much importance. Vending machines run at full capacity there, isotonic drinks often sold out. She sometimes brings energy-blended tea, yet a bit scared of food poisoning. And above sweet marbles assist her candy-first method.

Joy of Kyoto: 2

Standard

Before seeing 大船鉾, Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun dined at C’est Sympa. Their favorite French restaurant here looked fine serving for 4 groups. Last year made them feel a bit worried if the chef and his wife would get along: above couple were the only guests that night. Now that “novel” coronavirus is similar to seasonal flu, you might have to be on a waiting list.

Joy of Kyoto: 1

Standard

Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun made another trip to the ancient 1,000-year capital of our country. Gion Festival serves 後祭=the latter celebration right now, immediately after 前祭=the former held until 17th. Great to see you again, beautiful 大船鉾. Where is your golden dragon head? It might be stored safely at somewhere, ready to appear on 24th for 山鉾巡行 parade.

Helmet Highness

Standard

Thanks a million, Shin. He kindly ordered above head gear for Mei-Shun, whose current one has a slight problem. Also made in Germany, via New Zealand this time. Your debut would be later though, honey. Her older boots are employed right now, horseies prefer cooler environment after September. On the other hand, heavy perspiration during summer let her see better numbers on a scale.

Leaving Leaves

Standard

Oh, Mademoiselle Vert, you carry 4 bananas under flowers kept for a whole month. Real ones Mei-Shun purchased the other day were frozen to serve as a kind of ice cream. Kidding aside, it is preparation to remove them on the bottom while growing babies on the top. Such power to survive in a little pot is genuinely revered by mom, who is always ready to help you.

Cherry Jewelry

Standard

Thanks a million, sister Y. She sent Mei-Shun above this year as well: the former knows the latter loves it. Shin prefers darker American breed, while peach is also on the top of her favorite fruit list. Green melon follows them in summer for the wife, red and water one for the husband. He likes bananas with many sugar spots, called rotten by her. She is fond of crispy apples, waited by him until softened.

Pottery Place

Standard

Mei-Shun came back toward this hair salon, a 5-minute walk from home: she was troubled a little here actually in April. Learning from the 1st candidate shop nearer-by, she told about her problem to the owner lady at the 2nd. “As for dyeing, my advice is to see your accustomed beautician again”, she said. “If you would like cut and shampoo only, we require no reservation”. How convenient it sounds!
