Used Up

Standard

… Mei-Shun means one of three lip-balm sticks from Shin, shaped like a face of Mikan-chan. As mentioned before, she has a particular manner to kiss them. Starting from both ears, her lips must touch it as softly as possible until nothing is seen on the surface. 1st stayed beside her pillow, 2nd in a makeup bag. 3rd and youngest is waiting 2024 to replace the eldest.

Baby Boy

Hi, Mr. Valiente. It is great pleasure of Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun to see and trot on you for the 2nd time today. When they searched your name online, a face-covered wrestler appeared — such a weird figure never resemble you. Then Ms. Y, a smart chief receptionist at the club taught them smiling that he was named after a lovely mascot character from 今治.

Cute Collection

Standard

“Habanera” composed by Master Bizet and “La Cinquantaine” by M. Marie arrived into hands of Mei-Shun on weekend. The former has just one flat leading to 2 sharps, while the latter from no character to 3 sharps. She somehow remembers both melodies, yet not quite clear. Ms. Left fingers, could you 5 therefore help Ms. Right to sing correctly by accurate bass notes?

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

Standard

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.
