Catch It

Standard

Meow, it has finally become comfortable for me. Dad starts an air conditioner of his study early in the morning to cool himself down after taking a bath, while mom perspires in the living room until 10 o’clock. My best place therefore changes from 広縁, wooden indoor veranda of their Japanese-style bedroom to the study. She opens wider window, closes a screen attached to let outdoor air come in. Purr …

Dr. to Dr.

Standard

Mom, mom, I did well in the restroom. Why didn’t you see it soon to say good girl to me? Meow, you look tired. Where have you been so far? Appointments with a dentist and an  ophthalmologist consecutively, from 9 : 30. That’s the reason for your rushing out while washing cube was still humming. I see, then it’s my turn to say the same to you, on your legs. Purr … purrrr …

Umbrella Lover

Standard

Mei-Shun is, would never like to get wet even in slight rain. Shin and his mother are real antonyms — they say it does not rain when the poor wife and daughter-in-law rush back to the porch to pick up one of her collection. Its color is ranging from violet to red, texture from plastic to cloth. Isn’t it enjoyable to coordinate your clothes with that great artifice like shoes and bags?

This is her favorite.

 

Welcome Home

Standard

Meow, I saw dad after a week. Mom was a bit panicked, maybe because she woke up around the time when his car arrived in front of the gate early this morning. After a flight of nearly a whole day, he looked quite tired. She therefore prepared bath and breakfast immediately, while the woman she calls mom-in-law cooked pork ginger. Now everything’s over, hold me on your knee. Purr … purrr …

Stand by U

Standard

So it is all right for Shin to leave Mei-Shun alone for a week — he is on a business trip to the U.S.A. from weekend. Oh, she is never alone, of course not. Mikan-chan looks feeling so-so recently, gives her human-being mom relief, refreshment and real happiness. Thanks to cool rainy days like today, they stay home together; one enjoying peaceful sleep, the other writing, playing piano and dancing.

 

 

Summer Solstice

Standard

Meow, we will have 夏至=geshi tomorrow, on my day of every month. However, it might be the worst timing: rainy season would not like to give us a chance to enjoy the longest daytime of the year, mom told me. I listen to her with perfect understanding, while know that it does not matter. Window-side bench in dad’s study is the best place these days. The warmer the better here, that’s all. Purr … Purrrr …

Cute Culprit

Standard

Lovely hydrangea, your labor to give refreshing scent of body wash toward Mei-Shun’s yukata is highly appreciated. Awful after effect by that silver fluffy girl was completely eradicated. Thanks to respite of 梅雨前線, our seasonal rain front around here, she can put it on for a lesson tonight. Look, your friends in the Ys’ backyard bloom lively even under sunlight.

Take Care

Standard

Meow, dad has been coughing since last month. His symptom was promptly ameliorated after using a medicine left by mom. And next, she started to cough just like he did. I felt stress when she threw something with air from her mouth, taking it as she scolded me. However, such an idea disappeared from my mind these days — she looks not angry but tired, soon goes to the bedroom and calls me to join.Copyright © 2019 Mikan-chan All Rights Reserved.

Comfortable Summer

Standard

Humidity sometimes tortures dancers more than heat these days. Mei-Shun meant to hand her favorite yukata following below to a professional laundry close to Master Bando, yet changed her mind to use it this month. Actually, Mikan-chan once made it a restroom! Wrapped in a 畳紙=tato-kami, paper bag devised for kimono, nothing happened on it.

Iron Items

Standard

Purr, it is not so hot, nice breeze came up. I like such a weather, mom does as well, who burst into laughter at one of big booming cubes. She found a paper cutter and an USB flash drive from behind a rubber packing, too much stained to use again. Almost half an year has passed since both of them were washed in dad’s pocket, she told me. Meow, shall I lend you my hand, then?
