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?
Mei-Shun tends to choose light meals here, preparing for big dessert plates. Poke, quite like our sushi bowl, is among the best 3 on her list; with guava juice, a nice match. M-chan seemed pretty starved, finished faster the same dish. They soon moved toward sweets, enjoyed chocolate/fruits pancakes respectively. Oops, what is that black interloper on your peaches?
Mei-Shun got a phone call from a flower shop, on the last day of solar July. It seems the biggest, only in charge of arrangement/bouquet delivery in Tsuchiura City. “We cannot contact Mr. O”, a driver said. She thought something happened to that octogenarian; therefore picked above up, served it for beloved dad-in-law. Her mobile rung in the evening, lively husband of Master Mei-Shu started chatting.
As long as 8 weeks have passed since Mei-Shun stayed home, instead of getting on Ms. Scarlet toward Tsukuba horsey riding club. Her allergy between clavicles looks quite fine; even if sometimes itchy and red a little, with normal summer perspiration. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, her mom has gained no information from a scale during the same period.
