We have today a full moon or 十五夜, the one at 15th night on lunar November 15th, while 七五三=7-, 5- and 3-year-old celebration. Mei-Shun takes such a coincidence somehow mysterious — only odd numbers gather on a solar date of an even number. By the way, Shin kindly handed her a box of くろ玉=sweet black balls yesterday. And oh, where have 2 of them already gone?
funny
Keep Kettle
StandardEven if Ms. Iron is injured, she serves enough for Mei-Shun, a tea lover who chose Chinese gray friends today. Oh, a 茶柱=tea pillar nicely stands in a mug, lets her know something good would happen soon. It might be true or wished to; we have 仏滅=butsu-metsu, the worst among 六曜 while gloomy sky. And slight rainfall began just after she hung futon mats outdoors.
Peter Pan
StandardIt is name of a bakery shop Mei-Shun likes, nearby one of clinics her home dermatologists manage. She had a wart on right collarbone, recently grown a bit too much to ignore under clothes and seat belt of Ms. Scarlet. Thanks a million, Dr. I, who checked it up to remove in a second with no pain. Your patient turned to him in a euphoric mood, yet found his car park full.
Exercise Enough
StandardMei-Shun got on a scale after failing to dance with Ms. Last One today. Oh no, a bit terrible numbers were there, yet increased less than a half of one sugar bag. The reason for it seems clear: lack of perspiration. Compared to last week, she tended to stay still at home with a slight fever in serial three days when no horsey nor holy shrine saw her. Such a person never deserves above delicacies.
Fantastic Friends
StandardPlease kindly let Mei-Shun show her great gratitude to you sweetest 484 followers. It seems she takes treat only, gives no trick. Mom-in-law cooked red-bean rice celebrating Culture Day, put it into tiered lacquer ware boxes shaped like a plum flower, and presented it to her. On the other hand, Ms. Madoka was mischievous enough to wipe her mouth on the back of this poor rider.
Fluffy Friends
StandardAutumn has finally come, quite cooler or even cold in early morning and late at night. Mei-Shun purchased a pair of slippers work as mops set on the sole. She chose them for two reasons; they look warm, stitched cats resemble the drawing card of her favorite tea shop みたらしちゃん. Another in black would follow soon for Shin whose pair waned so much that his heels cooled.
Her Health
StandardMei-Shun saw so-so numbers today on a scale after dancing with Princess Maria and Ms. Madoka. Yes, the former sometimes canters in beginner classes. And oh, above rider has got awful one bag of sugar around waist, indulged herself in just three-night 冨貴寄=fuki-yose. She found the fact last week actually, when she caught a cold. Perspiration seems inevitable to be all right both in mind and body.
Great Grapes: 4
StandardThe other and last box of above fruit included 3 breeds; Shining Muscat, 信濃 Smile and Alisa. The second one was arranged to celebrate the 18th Olympic Winter Games held in Nagano Prefecture, while the third above might be named after a friend of Mr. I. It is Mei-Shun who juxtaposed this green, edible jewelry and souvenirs from Fukuoka via sweet Shin. Oh, 梅ヶ枝餅 reminds her of childhood.
吉 Kissing
StandardMeow, mom chose the latter yesterday. She walked lively to the nearest shrine to draw an omikuji lot for herself, who tends to do it again if no good luck with 凶=kyo, the worst or 半吉=han-kichi, half luck or 末吉=sue-kichi, the least lucky. On the way to there, some of rice paddies ripe ears still left welcomed her. Now I have to ask Gods to grant her nice one, purr.

StandardThanks a lot, Master 二所ノ関=nisho-no-seki. He sent Shin and Mei-Shun a face towel his current and previous names printed on. It serves as a small gift for above couple to join the support group. However, why did 番付表=sumo wrestler ranking list of 九月場所=September or autumnal tournament arrive first? It seems better to convey gratitude before a 15-day match starts.
