Dear Dragon

Standard

Mei-Shun visited a credit union to change used bills into new ones. It is normal for many of us adults to prepare them as お年玉, New Year’s allowance to children. She quite likes this custom, yet more and more financial institutions refrain from above service. By the way, nephews and a niece of Shin and his wife are all grown up; 3 of them are university students, other 2 already working.

Glorious Green

Standard

We have 大雪=tai-setsu, the 3rd of winter 二十四節気 today. It is said to bring snowfalls in northeastern part of our country, while the 1st ice formation in southwest. However, the latter saw nearly 20 degrees Celsius — Mei-Shun is wondering what is going on. And on you, Princess Cymby. Are you really a prince? Is that why Mademoiselle Vert already has 2 of the former?

Campaign Cat

Standard

… or dog are you? When Mei-Shun dropped in a supermarket after driving Shin to the nearest station, buzzing sound approached her from behind. He/she was moving so fast that those interested in have to run to catch up with him/her. What do you sell? Instant yakisoba fried noodles?? They are too big to eat up, even for sumo wrestlers. Is that why you are much in a hurry?

Joy of Kyushu: 4

Standard

What do you kind 509 followers think is the happiest for Mei-Shun as to recent trip? Well, she really enjoyed packing, drive to the airport and a short stay there, flight, sumo of course, good meals including sake made in 福岡, home place of her beloved father. However, the best was to come home with Shin and Mikan-chan together. Or precisely the flight back to Tokyo since he headed to the office.

Delightful Drive

Standard

I, dad and mom visited “Arles” together today, purr. Tree leaves lining 東大通り street have turned into bright red, yellow while keeping green a little. Since he goes on a business trip to the U.S. this evening, we dropped in a rental storage which accommodates his heavy overcoats. Oh, a tiny key she brought was for Mr. E, not to open a shutter here.

Merry Melody

We have 立冬=ritto, the 1st of winter 二十四節気 today. Mei-Shun walked for 5 minutes toward a hair salon in a pair of high heels. Or it might take longer, since this “exercise” needs more time than in flats or sneakers. Coming back home, she made an appointment to tune Ms. Piano. Darling, your damper sounds a bit tired. Please wait for 2 weeks, Ms. T would take care of you again.

Happy Halloween

Standard

So this is the end of 神無月 on solar calendar. Many revelers might gather at Shibuya scramble crossing, while Mei-Shun read that such young people in unique costume are severely restricted this year. On the other hand, she heard American children prefer treat to trick. Well, they do not need to mind weight: it is business of parents to take care of their body including teeth.

Vital Violet

Standard

Meow, mom’s mom stays in 草津 right now. It might be her last visit in 2023. She took photos of pretty gentian or autumn bellflower, blooming in her garden there. I would say thanks a million to you, grandma, in behalf of your younger daughter. This shade was loved by grandpa as well, while his earlier favorite balloonflower. By the way, the best ribbon for me to put on is purple.

Sweet Story

Standard

Mei-Shun found this early morning a crescent in eastern sky, lying like a tiny boat. Or a scale to weigh little animals including kitten. Hello kitty, may she ask your name? Mr. Sunflower, sounds energetic. And it is great of your mom to save you on a street. Please lead a happy life together. By the way, after enjoying dance with Mr. Michelangelo, her own machine reported 70% of a sugar bag added.

High Heels

Standard

Mei-Shun walked to a nearby hair salon. She put on a pair of court shoes taking it a chance for 5-minute workout to walk elegantly as much as possible. She failed last time, while succeeded today. It is more cloudy and humid than yesterday, seems suitable for such training. A cup of green tea was a nice treat for her feet, from both of which a few corns were removed on Monday.
