Mei-Shun goes to horsey riding clubs 4 days this week; Monday, Wednesday and Friday to Tsukuba, only Thursday 龍ヶ崎. We say 天高く馬肥える秋=sky is high, horses gain weight in autumn, meaning joy of current season perhaps. Yes, she would love to accept it. Still with a piece of summer, daytime flies. May she follow you making best use of shorter daylight, Momo-chan?

Cool and Curled
StandardIt has rained much from yesterday, forced Mei-Shun to cancel lessons with Mr. Marumorita today and Mr. Danone Caesar tomorrow. Actually, weather forecasts let her suspend their reservations to use later: the latter boy sees another plan early in the afternoon. By the way, why is the former still listed around tea time? Lively Ms. S might make a mistake.
Year after Year
StandardMei-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.
Lucky Loki
StandardSo we are on the last day of solar July. Starting from Monday, current month let us experience an extreme change in weather; from rainy cool to torrid fair. And it is the first summer for Mei-Shun to take horsey-riding lessons in Tsukuba. Sunny fields are the best in winter, while the worst right now. However, sudden shower made it acceptable to dance with Mr. Title Role.
Tentative Tense
StandardMei-Shun played Ms. Piano twice a day; once before going out for horsey riding accompanied by Mikan-chan, again after coming home. Why her fingers often beat wrong keys this morning? They might be confused a bit, since today is the first time to go to the club this week. Yesterday had only one lesson: she would like 30-minute drive on Ms. Scarlet deserve at least 2.
Japanese Culture@holiday
StandardYes, 2024 has Constitution Memorial Day on Friday. Traffic jam forced Shin to sit in our new car Ms. Moon for a few hours longer than usual. Followed by weekend Days of Greenery and Children, 6th would be a “Happy Monday” to replace 5th. Since April 29th Showa Day was also at the beginning of last week, many salaried workers had 3 serial days off. Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun wish their happy Golden Week.
Sweet Spring
StandardSo it might be just once for us to see bright sun during current weekdays. Mei-Shun reserved 2 lessons at her horsey riding club in Tsukuba, followed by a 30-minute private lesson. Hello Mr. Golden Helmet, great to dance with you for the first time. Since you are so tall, she felt quite safer on short Mr. Crunchy who made the best so far. And Mr. 翼 or Wings, nice to see you again.
Joy of Osaka: 2
StandardShin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun got up around 7 : 00 to be in time for 一番太鼓, drum beating to let audience know sumo site opens. Oh, many wrestlers in kimono are seen walking with them by the same route toward the place. Nice scent of 鬢付け油, hair oil to make 髷 style, comes when they follow those big guys. It is interesting to find 土俵 ring still empty and dry.
Tunisian Table
StandardProfessor M kindly gave Mei-Shun a box of local sweets. They were served for her tea time with Shin after 22 : 22. It is really nice to be adult, isn’t it? The husband ranks tart balls in the 2nd line from the right on the top, while the wife walnut ones from the left. Pistachio marzipans and square pies followed them respectively. And pine nuts are the same 3rd.
Crystal Cats
StandardMei-Shun practiced above today, piled right-hand on Ms. Piano. She has chosen left molehill including “Clair de Lune”, “Habanera” and “La Cinquantaine” since the end of last year, almost forgot to play scores composed by Master Chopin except for ” Lento con gran espressione”. One of the reasons is a gift from Shin, normally put on a book of M. Beethoven suites.
