Here is カプすけ=kapu-suke, lovely birdy on a puffed strawberry chocolate. It is for the first time when Mei-Shun picked him up from a sweets wagon at a drug store — it has always been Shin who won him so far. Now she kisses you, darling, keep a good boy not to stay around her waist. He is also in weight control these days, let her enjoy you only in the morning, peacefully alone.
Which of Shin and Mei-Shun won it? They had a “galette des rois”, birthday cake for the wife last night, yet found no fève. She always has a privilege to choose a place to cut first, tried again. Seen just next to cut side, praise advent of a tiny pot of flower. Ms. Piano, thanks a lot for keeping the box. The wife could not open your lid for serial two nights, promises to play you tonight after dancing with horseies.
Meow, it was mom’s first-of-the-year kabuki dance lesson today, given by Master Bando. Almost snowy, it made her put more on into layered knit above and below waist. Please be careful not to fall down stepping on such a long skirt. I’ll keep a good girl until you come back safely, purr … oh? Hi, welcome home. Did you bring something good for me in that big bag?

Shin and Mei-Shun were in a car called “Diamante”, meaning diamond in Italian and Spanish. The wife inherited it from her beloved father 12 years before, while the husband has kept excellent maintenance on it so far. Now is the time for a cup of tea, coming back home soon. It is windy outdoors, sounds like raindrops — oh, no, not rain but bird. Did you finish supper nearby?
We have 小寒=sho-kan, the 5th of winter 二十四節気 today. They say the coldest months 寒=kan would start, while I enjoy warm hands and legs of mom on the sofa as usual. Why are you in a kind of fidget? Oh, it is birthday of her mom-in-law as well, surprising flowers are waited to arrive. How about a cake? Not reserved this year, because dad is on a diet.

Hello, a cup for tea and coffee made by N Co., Ltd. Mei-Shun had a couple in this design attached saucers, yet found one cracked the other day. And Noriko-san, one of her closest friends, made a bowl following below her wedding gift. They therefore became a tea service set for special celebration of Shin and MS. He was quick enough to order a new one, made it 1-bowl, 2-cup and 3-saucer.
We have 冬至=toji, the 4th of winter 二十四節気 today. That means the longest night in northern hemisphere, makes Mei-Shun rush to western window at dusk to see Jupiter and Saturn float side by side. There they are, yet quite difficult to recognize the further latter, who finds himself a bit too close to the former. And oh, Princess Cymby finally opened 3 flowers; one on the top, 2 just next to each other.
Purr, it is warm indoors. Mom is also happy seeing Princess Cymby and Mademoiselle Vert; the former has two flower buds growing little by little, while the latter one. She cleaned 2 vases today as well, one of them a gift from dad. Time flies, fragrant lilies have gone. Carnations joined roses in a hanger. Backyard gingko tree took off a golden coat, left her some to pick up again.

Lunar November starts from today. Mei-Shun meant to walk to the nearest shrine to greet Gods with the last 朔日 prayer of 2020 — yet oh, how stormy it has become! That immediately made her choose playing moonlight-related scores on Ms. Piano while cleaning of eastern verandah. Yes cleaning, rather than picking up those gingko leaves fallen on the floor.
20 pieces a day to dry
Mei-Shun has a heavy stomach in the morning when she eats late at previous night, precisely much carbo after 18 : 00. With no appetite, she takes only a cup of hot milk for breakfast. However, assaulted by greater desire for food around noon, she would be forced to cook twice as much as she normally does. Full-up mouth covets no more, fruits and nuts are enough to cover her supper.
