Meow, this is the date of a month for me and mom to visit “Arles” together. However, that pâtisserie is closed on Tuesdays while one of 2023 important days for our country. We therefore would do it tomorrow when lunar July starts. Typhoon Lan made landfall onto Kansai area, heading north. It gives a heavy rainfall in Kanto as well, waters me on slimmer Mademoiselle Vert.

Excellent Excursion

I and mom visited a hair salon nearby Tokyo Station again. We meant to meet dad who had got a holiday job, yet he canceled it. It is better for you, purr. Since worked too hard coming back from the U. S. on Monday, enough sleep at home is imperative. Look, that famous cup noodle maker would also stop a factory during Bon holiday. How large a crowd is accommodated here!

Sacred Sake

Purr, here is a wonderful gift from dad to mom. He might mean to celebrate our new outer wall in “moon mist” shade completed on Wednesday. Professor M, thank you so much for sending her a glossy image of Green Corn Moon. She would be able to enjoy another full supermoon at the end of this month, clearly through windows or safely from the roof floor.

Severe Sunshine

Meow, they announced on Saturday that 2023 rainy season seemed to have gone from Kanto area. Mercury indicates nearly 37 degrees Celsius today, mom’s temperature when she does not feel so fine. On the other hand, it is much cooler than our normal. I therefore prefer landing of stairs to the roof floor, or a south-facing window frame in dad’s study.

Joy of Noto: 2

Thanks a lot, Mikan-chan. As she gently wrote with fluffy paws, their goal on the 2nd day of trip to 能登半島 was 輪島の朝市=morning market. Summer wind here is also harsh, yet green rice paddies look growing well. Oh, hello grandma who sells cute, handmade works. It seems to Mei-Shun that similar items are on a table, while not the same lady she met several years before.

Lovely Lick

Meow, lunar June starts from today. I, dad and mom visited a little shrine located in 輪島 on weekend instead of the nearest one from home. A tiny, white friend of mine holds an omikuji lot giving us 楽=raku not any kind of 吉=kichi. You might be right — good luck comes from feeling happy. At least for mom who received the other artificial Ame-chan at Dr. M’s clinic.

Blue and Brown

Meow, one of mom’s favorite sports started in Nagoya from Sunday. And it is yesterday when 2 of our 3 air conditioners stopped cooling: their outdoor units are set on the roof floor. Since main goals of current repair include leakage avoidance, they need to be removed until next week. She therefore gave up putting on a yukata given by beloved Master Mei-Shu on 16th 中日.

Best Beauty

Purr, dad brought home above bins of cooked peach. “This white breed would be on store shelves soon,” he explained to me and mom. “So they remove smaller, worse-shaped ones before picking up attractive products.” It sounds a bit weird to me: why do you need to make choice by looks? What is the most important for fruits? “If it is sweet and juicy”, she replied. “You always know the truth.”

Moon Mist

Yawn, this is the last day of dad’s birthday month on solar calendar. Also at the end of weekdays meaning Friday, it lets mom feel the former half of 2023 finished quite well. She already ordered 水無月=minazuki, an important sweets to celebrate today with him. Still in lunar May, our outer wall was repainted into shining white called by a pretty name shown above.

Rare Rain

Mei-Shun walked to a hair salon, carrying a parasol works also as an umbrella under a gray sky. It took nearly 2 hours today, a bit longer than usual. Now she has to rush toward home, French radio lesson starts. However, current program is — oh, she has an excellent substitute. A combination of books and a CD starring a cute girl and a cat boy, a Christmas gift from Shin many moons ago.
