雪柳=snowy willow in our garden looks happier this year: mom-in-law cut it a bit too much to give its normal figure. However, she stopped such job for several years; that is why it weeps more than half, facing sunlight. By the way, there was a little change on Mei-Shun’s scale as well. In spite of no horsey riding, daily exercise and eating control might let her keep tolerable weight.
Just one month has passed since Mei-Shun decided to practice “La Cinquantaine” and “Habanera” every time she opens Ms. Piano lid. That resulted in much better flow of melodies, gives her joy of finger singing. After such a pleasure, Mikan-chan and her mom got on Ms. Scarlet to achieve another with horseies. However, several drops from white sky turned into a shower.
I and mom were forced to cancel a lesson at our horsey riding club; we heard heatstroke alert again, 4th and consecutive. We therefore stay home all day long, see her implement 晴耕雨読=work outdoors on sunny days, study by textbooks indoors during rainy ones. Or a bit wrong since she learns Portuguese in scorching time, dances with Mr. Marumorita if clouds give cooler wind.

Thanks a lot, guardian N-chan for your kind looking on Mei-Shun who found No. 47 吉=lucky omikuji lot for herself yesterday. Please listen, Dr. W gave her 2 compliments; she is fair-skinned, while looks slim, thanks to a tight dress in brown perhaps. “Such an insect bite stands out on your arm”, that tender lady said. Weight control is going fine even if no dance with horseies.
“Kanon” composed by Master J. Pachelbel was inducted into Mei-Shun’s Hall of Fame: she means to include it among relatively slow scores played before Shin’s favorite “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” by Master J. S. Bach. Other great composers also helps her with “Le Cygne”, “La Cinquantaine”, “Habanera”, “L’harmonie des anges”, “Pavane pour une Infante Défunte”, etc.
Mei-Shun normally sings with Ms. Piano alone. She enjoys it of course, while practice is for performance on stage. Her dance in kimono is a kind of the same as the one with horseies: grade 3 of riding technique certificate requires applicants to put on white in blouse and pants, black in jacket, long boots and helmet. By the way, she often touches wrong keys when the only audience listens beside.
Mei-Shun’s favorite sumo wrestler came back toward 土俵 ring. He started rikishi career from 三段目, his current and 3rd-time rank experienced so far. Seriously injured left knee during last summer 名古屋場所, surgery, rehabilitation, 稽古 practice allowed his physical return. “Family, my stable master and mates, fans give me mental support”, the 31-year-old commented after his 3rd win today.
When Mei-Shun practice “Pavane pour une Infante Défunte” composed by Master M. Ravel, she always felt somehow weird in a bar: main melody sounds like interrupted by obbligato on the same key. She therefore tried removing it, then immediately lost control a bit in right hand. Even a poor player might have little eyes on each fingertips, while reading scores by real ones.
Ms. T, previous “doctor” for Ms. Piano gave Mei-Shun a phone call the other day. She kindly gave private numbers, allowed the latter client to contact her directly next time. By the way, “Kanon” composed by Master Pachelbel is intensely practiced these days. It replaces finger exercise and leads toward M. Debussy’s “Clair de Lune” if she is too tired to play more scores.
Mei-Shun decided to continue her current course in horsey riding; one more year precisely. Her body has learned how to dance on that beautiful animal little by little, while not yet reached the goal to feel relaxed by it. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, her mom’s weight is well controlled these days thanks to kind Ms. Y, who recommended intensive classes and energetic Ms. S, her main instructor.
