Our backyard gingko put on green-yellow coat just a week before. He is so quick to turn it into all yellow by this morning — perhaps caused by warmth of these several days. Mei-Shun enjoys a seasonal carpet on the balcony. On the other hand, she keeps taking care of the gorgeous bouquet of roses from Shin for three weeks. Yes, such a long time has passed since she danced 汐汲. Her twin sister 松風 still wants to sleep. No problem, go ahead as you like it.
Ms. Piano sang after an interval of nearly a month. Since it rained last night, Mei-Shun played her favorite scores featuring moonlight. The trident of this weblog comprises dance, lovely animal and music — represented by Japanese dance, cat and piano respectively right now to symbolize writer’s long-dreamed life. On the other hand, it is not easy to take pleasure in all of these three every day except for Mikan-chan. It might be better to choose “per week” idea.
More than 2 weeks have passed since Mei-Shun rode horseback before. She was a bit tense until seeing Admire Serena for the first time, yet such a feeling immediately flew away when she found her round eyes with brown, long eyelash catching her own. Yes, all you have to do on horseies is to trust them. They are so clever that you should just relax to inform them of the next action. By legs, spurs and short- or long-whips if necessary, although Mei-Shun does not like the last one.
10 days have passed since Mei-Shun visited 乙戸沼 Park before. Gingko ladies have changed their dresses from pale green to shiny gold. How great it is to see them in morning sunlight! On the other hand, she felt a bit itchy in thighs at the end of walking. It is because she has stayed away from it for too long — even three-day off gives the same impact. Such a 三日坊主 would be punished by herself.
You must be very polite toward him: say hello and bow when you enter his stable for example. Only instructors and staffers of our club are able to lead him out of privacy. In addition, he dislikes to be harnessed so much that nobody could relax beside him. Once he starts to walk into the field, however, everything returns to normal. He knows exactly what to do next. Just trust him, and you would be content on his back, enjoying autumnal sakura — oh, she forgot to take photos again. Please kindly let Mei-Shun apologize.
Mei-Shun, her mother and elder sister met with each other today finally: They enjoyed an okonomi-yaki party after almost a whole year. They had gathered for celebrating mother’s birthday in early summer, before Shin and Mei-Shun made visit to her in 草津 one of their happy regular excursions. The only problem of this idea is that Mei-Shun lacks a chance to see her sister. Mother worried about it, offered her younger and freer daughter to arrange a lunch at her home.
Mei-Shun went out with Shin in the morning to visit a beauty salon in Shinagawa. With advice by her designated hairdresser, she got a curling treatment. More than 20 years have passed since she had it last time — amazing progress in technology. Thank you, Mr. H. She then met Shin again at a Japanese restaurant which serve them delicacies full of autumnal scent. Her excursion was successfully closed in Asakusa to buy 草履=zouri, Japanese sandal for 汐汲 performance.
Mei-Shun’s goal in horse riding is dressage. A horse and his/her rider would cooperate with each other to make beautiful performance, that seems to resemble dancing. In Japanese dance, performer is fundamentally alone on the stage. On the other hand, dressage requires good communication between a horse and a human being in the field. Therefore, the more she practices with kind horseys, the more she might be interested in 連舞=tsure-mai, meaning Pas de deux or Duet.
Maria, a snow-white girl in quarter breed gave Mei-Shun a beautiful gift: a promotion. It has taken a whole year for her to go two steps up, might be a slow doer. No problem, the most important is to enjoy. Technique learning would follow after she finds her own way to communicate well with that glorious animal. And another reward of effort nicely arrived: a little loss in weight. Her eating a day consists of ample breakfast, lunch and light supper. Sweets are not allowed while a teaspoon of honey, dried/fresh fruits are.
One year has passed since Shin brought his wife to the horse-riding club. At first, just seeing horseies satisfied her. Their kindness to let her ride on gave the happiest entertainment. Now getting used to it, she wants more: she would like to be friends with that beautiful animal. She has only admired them so far, allowed them to do as they like. However, it might not be the right attitude toward her partners. On an equal footing, a horse and a human being should combine with each other to create great performances.
