Apology for Ambiguity

Standard

Good morning, 24th crescent. Mei-Shun sees too many clouds these days, to find this celestial beauty at 5:00; when she gets up, puts socks on then opens curtains. Gray cotton balls appeared in an hour, accompanied by dim sunlight. That is why she sung moonlight scores composed by Masters Debussy and Beethoven with Ms. Piano. By the way, sooo sorry for a photo of poor quality.

Round Rice

Standard

Mei-Shun nearly forgot 丸餅 cakes stored in Ms. Cuby, her refrigerator. They were cooked into 雑煮 soup on 元旦 of course, yet most of them often wait for other dishes later. Grilled ones nicely friend with salty/sweet ingredients; 海苔 sheets, soy sauce, cheese, sugar and simmered red beans. Oops, 3 pieces were connected like a “3” shape – a bit too big to dip.

Moist Mercy

Standard

It rains hard from early morning today. Mei-Shun heard that reservoir capacity is quite smaller than usual, only a bit above 30% in some dams connected with Tonegawa river. It therefore must be marvelous, yet no moon or horsey riding is available for herself. And oh, it is getting more and more stormy; no shopping either. All right, she would start singing moonlight scores on one of her home friends.

2-2-2

Standard

Yes, we would soon see the day of our breed, purr. By the way, mom got a phone call from a police station: an officer asked when the photo she submitted the other day was taken. Actually, another asked her all the same question at that time. “What is going on?” she complained to dad. “Well, you looked too young at your age,” he replied smiling. “Some people try to use years-before images.”

Paw Pad

Standard

… artificial cats called this morning, on Mei-Shun’s mobile phone. Aha, it is because of February 9th, read 肉球=niku-kyu in numbers by our mother tongue. Precisely 2-9-9, yet there is no 29th month or 99th date; both on solar and lunar calendars. It is better anyway to stay home for her daughter currently on Princess Cymby with 17 flowers, and herself today.

Blew, Blown

Standard

It was quite warm yesterday, while windy again today. After finishing tasks at home, Mei-Shun got on Ms. Scarlet for shopping. She dropped in a tiny lottery stand nearby, yet it was closed – must be open from 10:30-16:30. Mom-in-law gave Shin a bundle of year-end one, which seems to win the same price. All right, she would wait another chance. By the way, why a broken futon peg lies in our garden?

Snowy Shrine

Standard

Have you kind 528 followers already greeted Gods during 三が日? Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun did on 2nd after seeing mother of the wife. A maiden in white kimono and red 袴=hakama pants sat beside a big omikuji box, handed them all the same lots; No. 30 末吉=the least lucky. They always bind such slips onto a tree branch, tried again on Sunday to see 吉=lucky.

Finally Flow

Standard

Mei-Shun continues practice of “Ständchen” on Ms. Piano. She has been quite used to it, her ears feel safer. However, that might affect other scores included in her repertoire – for example, “Fantasia” composed by Master J. Hisaishi heard a lot of mistakes today. Well, the reason is clear: it was often replaced by above dulcet melody. Please kindly accept her apology, Princess Nausicaä.

Joy of 松山: 3

Standard

Shin heads toward Taipei on business. Mei-Shun always checks his flight online, found the same Chinese characters as the place in our country above couple and Mikan-chan recently visited. However, plane icons have gone halfway even reaching arrival. What is going on for dad, fluffy girl? Oh, it takes one more hour by a time difference. Then kind 528 followers, please relax to enjoy their memory image.

Twin Trees?

Standard

Mei-Shun visited a hair salon nearby Tokyo Station to get curled. It becomes later year by year, caused by longer and more torrid summer when she needs her neck all open. Now tresses work as a scarf, even an accessory for dressing up. Oh, an attractive Christmas tree welcomes people at a lobby, yet a maple tree in the same shades outdoors. Did your lower green coat lack sunshine?
