This windy morning saw Mei-Shun walk toward a nearby hair salon, in high heels as usual. Oh? There is a car parked facing shop entrance, not her home beautician’s. “Your reservation is from 11:00”. All right, she left tasks at home undone: 10-minute, to-and-fro exercise twice would be nice. It severely blew against her, became 2026 木枯らし１号=1st winter gale of Tokyo area.
Hello again, lumpfish family. Shin and Mei-Shun saw them in Fukushima on weekend. They love this little, balloon-like breed so much that the wife has keychains with its stuffed figures of white, green while Mikan-hued one. Yes, their fluffy daughter stayed a good girl at home. It was partly because they keep a lot of edible fish: this time grilled saury was featured for a competition to eat cleanly.
Hello, Mademoiselle Angel. Here one of your moms brought carrot and apple a little. Yes, she is Mei-Shun who had reserved the first lesson after 4 months and 2 weeks today. However, such a weird rainfall forced her to cancel it; while get on Ms. Scarlet accompanied by sweet Mikan-chan, for horsey gears cleaning. Oops, what are these white/blue creatures blooming over black belts?
Mei-Shun walked toward a hair salon in high heels this morning. Oh? It started raining, she would use an umbrella. Although she loves these pumps of Mikan-chan fruit shade, they are already broken. It has become difficult to prevent water from coming in. By the way, is there some fragrant olives nearby? Long rainy days once stopped that scent, while made happy return.
… Mei-Shun would not take in a horsey riding field. We are on the last day of solar September, meaning her first “summer vacation” ends after as long as 4 months. This period was really inundated by rainfalls, which make her cancel any lessons; she is made of sugar. With Wednesday treats her to sweets, final piece of good chocolate from the U.S.A. was consumed.
Dr. A kindly gave Mei-Shun a “Yes” phone call. The latter ex-inpatient has been on a bit strict weight control, adopting her “candy only” dessert method from last month. Since it serves her size less around waist these days, above cookies would be treated to herself – oops, they are the best before consumed by tomorrow. 4 pieces seem too much, while too happy.
Lunar August has come. Attended by 二百十日; 210th day from 立春=risshun, the 1st of 二十四節気. And 友引 follows; 2nd best among 六曜, yet just after the best 大安 seen yesterday, replacing 4th 赤口. By the way, a weather forecaster said 2026 Tokyo gained only 7-hour sunshine in September. That does not matter Mei-Shun’s “Clair de Lune” practice almost every day.
Thanks a million, Professor M. He kindly sent Mei-Shun above image from Egypt – saying 有明の月 seen at dawn. Photo information in the latter’s mobile phone shows 6:49, Saturday. Did he have breakfast under this purple sky? It seems quite earlier. With 7 hours behind there, it could not be our time. Or 20:25, Sunday arrival of his message matters?
Mei-Shun found clear 十三夜 yesterday, the second best shape of that celestial beauty in night sky. Solar August 2026 would expect 4 including above, 小望月or 幾望, 十五夜 and 満月; makes her look forward to see them all. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, Ibaraki Prefecture heard the 2nd serial heatstroke alert aired today. That means at least half of her wish could come true.
We would expect a 上弦 half moon tonight. Mei-Shun does as well, while wonders if it really happens looking up foggy sky. She turned to her favorite musical instrument, practiced scores composed by great Masters Debussy and Beethoven. Tsukuba horsey riding club visit was scheduled, then easily canceled by severe conditions within Ms. Scarlet. Mr. Marumorita, how are you getting along?
