Happy birthday, mother who stays in 草津 as her summer retreat. She says it is quite cooler there, yet power outage caused by thunderstorms stopped water supply this year. Well, your younger daughter enjoys temperature of rainy season from yesterday with healthy taps. Which environment would you prefer, beloved father who loved above little flower?

Make Merry

Standard

With heatstroke alert for consecutive 4 days, Mei-Shun was forced to cancel horsey riding lesson again. Her expected partner was Mr. MATSURI whose name means a “festival guy”. Well, she found some remains of celebration around the nearest station; candidates posters regarding an election held on Sunday, portable restrooms used perhaps by revelers.

Hello, Princess Maria or 手鞠姫. It is great pleasure of Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun to trot with you again. Please listen, they say that rainy season 2025 is over. It has been on and off, given both heavy storms and sultry heat waves. We hope it finally resulted in fine precipitation accompanied by good crops — well, are Your Highness ready for a lesson in cooler breeze?

Purr, this is mine to protect dad on board heading Turkey right now. By the way, spelling of that country is the same as the bird raised for flesh. Mom’s dictionary explains: guinea fowls were imported into Europe from there, called Turkey-cock to be confused with other bald breed. Hmm, neither of them has been on our dinner table, even on the date when my “parents” married.

Miraculous Medicine

Standard

Mei-Shun means both doctors and their prescriptions. She regularly takes tablets to avoid melasma for 8 weeks, followed by the same period of withdrawal before resuming it. She was at the end of the former phase when got a piece of “prosciutto” on the right arm — 4 kinds of pills were prepared after breakfast/supper. It soon decreased toward 2, then another recently joined.

Hydrangea Highness

Standard

It has stopped raining since Monday — we are in the middle of such season, yet 梅雨前線 was said disappeared. That allows Mei-Shun to sing drizzling scores composed by Masters Chopin and Debussy, while the latter features snow. Yesterday heard even heatstroke alert aired for the first time this year, meaning temperature hit 35 degrees Celsius perhaps.

Tender Trot

Standard

Hello, Princess Maria. I and mom are so happy to see you again that their previous appointment with you was nicely replaced by today’s, purr. When we heard Mr. Danone Caesar got injured, mom was shocked asking his condition. “He is all right, just lost shoes in muddy field” was their reply. We therefore brought rock candy; as refreshment for you, get-well wishes to him.

Hands Held

Standard

We have 芒種=boshu, the 3rd of summer 二十四節気 today. Mei-Shun’s diary also inform her on 蟷螂生 of 七十二候 meaning mantis babies would come out. It therefore does do it, resting at Ms. Scarlet in a car park. Here Mikan-chan and she enjoyed trotting with Mesdemoiselles Angel et Pino, whose sizes are almost the same. Merci beaucoup for easy exchange of riding gears.

Baby Ball

Standard

Shin and Mei-Shun weed their garden on weekend these days; the husband uses electric cutter and lawn mower, the wife broom and hands. When she pulled some along exterior wall, a little cactus of her nail size was found. Yes, mom-in-law grew your breeds here before — 2 years have already passed since we were forced to remove your friends and parents in preparation for repainting.

Petites Paws

Standard

Mei-Shun vacuumed filters of 2 air conditioners; one is in living room where she works when stays at home, the other bed room accommodates. She started from the former, felt a bit relieved at its sight. Turning to the latter, she tried pulling them towards herself — oh, horizontal parts looked dusted more than vertical sifts. She returned to a sofa, opened a lid again above it.
