Bye-bye Blue

Standard

Mei-Shun finally put away above stove guy into 押入れ closet. What does he carry on the head, do you kind 517 followers wonder? It is a gift box from a chocolate company via one of credit card. She ordered it last year, while totally forgot when. And the number of ice cream cups surprised her: 14, layered by a paper holder. Well, 2 nephews living nearby would help Shin and his wife.

Practice Pressure

Standard

Mei-Shun often makes mistakes on Ms. Piano, even in her favorite “Clair de Lune” composed by Master Debussy. When she concentrates well, finger movement and key positions seem to melt into melodies flowing smoothly. However, sudden stops force her to read scores again. She wonders which key a note means, writes down sharps or flats with a pencil stub.

Cloudy Clear

… it is today, our fiscal 2024 starts from Monday. Dad brought home above on weekend, let mom feel happy to see it after decades perhaps: they visited Okinawa for the first time together just after marriage. She loves 泡盛 distilled sake there, while took this tofu product as a bit weird. Now grown up enough, it is taken great accompanied by 鵜戸詣 from 宮崎 via kind Professor M.

Fair Fragrance

Standard

Shin came back to Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun yesterday morning, with souvenirs including a durian pie. His hotel in Ho Chi Minh City asked guests not to bring that king of fruits into rooms saying “no smoking, no durian”. The wife has agreed with them so far, while feels it acceptable this time. It might help her condition to improve through 三寒四温, from cold winter to warm spring.

Only Once

Standard

Last week when Mei-Shun saw Dr. A, a good bakery this ex-inpatient makes it a rule to drop in was closed. She therefore replaced it by one nearby, whose branch in Tsukuba has been visited before — a decade might have passed since then. Well actually, sweet “melon-pain” is her criterion to judge if loyalty would be born to a shop. Oh, how cute they are here, in tennis ball shapes!

Fluffy Fragments

Standard

It snows from early morning today: my wings make them when I fly freely around mom, purr. We stay together at home, quite satisfied with our choice to see lovely horseies yesterday. She was actually a bit worried about her health on Monday, saw one bag of sugar gone with no reason. How is it tonight? It safely returned, let her find so-so numbers on a scale.

Only One

Standard

2024 has made our “backyard” 梅=ume, plum blossom the best so far. Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun enjoy this rare tree with a chimerical branch full of pink flowers among all white. It is also nice to watch it from his study, never need to visit any parks, temples, shrines or mountains accommodating 梅 in these 2 colors. By the way, the cutest angle for above is served by — restroom window!

Dynamic Doggy

Standard

Mei-Shun met her only niece M-chan last weekend. Time flied at least for the aunt, who felt really happy to see this girl — oops, a woman, since she has already celebrated her coming of age. By the way, the former found something weird walking outdoors. It first looked like an android featured in Sci-Fi films. However, the latter caught it again at a graduation exhibition by the faculty of arts.

Cute Chocolats

Standard

Here the day comes to admire that sweets. Mei-Shun put a box onto Shin’s desk while he was having a morning bath. And it is birthday of mom-in-law as well, on lunar calendar. A basket of flowers was ordered to deliver — yet oh, they might ring the doorbell to call herself, not the other for her daughter-in-law. The latter phoned the shop at 9 : 00 opening time, when her failure just sounded.

Relative Reunion

Standard

M-chan, a 1st-year undergraduate at the University of Tsukuba, finally contacted Mei-Shun, her only aunt last night. However, quite late for the latter already in futon next to Shin. Is 22 : 33 not bedtime for students? She replied around 8 : 00 this morning, invited that girl of a good appetite to lunch at a tearoom nearby her dormitory. Well, no message has come so far, 23 : 23 after shampoo.
