Enjoy Chocolate

Standard

Mei-Shun contacted her favorite maker already in January. It is interesting that St. Valentine’s Day has seen various trend in Japanese society, while almost nothing has changed in her mind. Please help yourself, Shin, she cannot join you. Since she has allowed a kind of flabbergasted eating for 2 weeks, a whole bag of sugar was found around her waist. She decided to oust it as soon as possible.

N-chan, please help dieter Mei-Shun.

Sweet Flower

Standard

Following below is 梅=ume, plum blossom along a lane toward parking space of our horsey riding club. It is so cute, yet rare to see such a short tree: we have to bend our back to feel sweet scent. Another is brown sugar candy with pieces of dried salty plum topped, sold at a restaurant. Soooo tasty, with packing technology which might a bit surprise many Japanese consumers including Mei-Shun.

New Faces

Standard

Mei-Shun feels so happy to welcome them into her kitchen; new refrigerator and dish washer. The former came to her at night, while the latter in the morning. On the other hand, her laundry machine and refrigerator are in cool champagne-gold, from P company. Since purchased via internet, they force her to read explanation brochures carefully — that is one of jobs she hesitates to do.

Point of No Return

Standard

Not by the Phantom of the Opera, by Mei-Shun it is. She has made an effort to manage her weight so far, approaching the point which lets her smile with a sigh of relief. A nearby clinic takes 15-minute drive, serves a health check every two years. However, they did not seem to have a scale, just measured her height and abdomen size. Only the crescent might know what was going on.

Protect MS

Standard

Please continue to do, kind gears and caregivers. From the top of Mei-Shun’s head, haircut in Tokyo while hair-dye nearby. Contact lens and eye drops subscription by ophthalmologist Dr. S at the same building where Dr. M’s dental clinic is located. Body under shoulders is checked by Dr. A except for both legs. And dermatologist Dr. I takes care of corns at the bottom of her feet …

Sweet Natto!

Standard

Would you kind followers like it? Mei-Shun the other day saw a TV program which featured that traditional Japanese food made of soybeans. Northern part of our country have heavy snow in winter, forces residents to remove it from roofs and roads. Such a labor seems to let them go to a mount of sugar, on even foods normally had salty. Interested in and a bit scared, she tried it — hmm, not bad.

Every 2 Years

Standard

Mei-Shun has started to concentrate on her weight control — relatively severe one. She reserved a health check on coming 30th at a clinic where Shin’s company covers necessary fee. Even if her English textbook sometimes calls her “d.e.b.“, or celebration for new year, mom-in-law’s and her own birthday come together in January, nothing can avoid her to reach the goal.

Not Snow

Standard

… yet it looks to have been hailing toward sunrise. When Mei-Shun opened western shutter this morning to check front glass of Ms. scarlet, she saw fine and white dots here and there. It has been dry these days, all changed from rainy December. Frozen drops are spread on cars, fences, field and our ornamental cabbage whose formal name is brassica oleracea var. acephala f. tricolor!!!

Private Lesson

Standard

Thank you so much, Ms. I, for kind understanding and cooperation with Mei-Shun. She plans to brush up her gallop skill this year, always enjoying. Since face-to-face lesson is more effective than one in group, she chose the former this month after 3-month interval. Now, please teach her how to do it, Ms. Sagittarius, instead of Mr. Vanilla currently owned by other member of our club.

Hi, Karin-chan,

Do you hear Mei-Shun?

You never do. All right.

My Sister?

Standard

Purr, a happy new year, wishing your prosperity and delight. Look, dad’s mom living downstairs gave a big, golden orange. Mom looks enjoying a photo session — saying we are in similar size. Meow, do you think so? She is cold on surface, too large to resemble my eyes. You can go ahead anyway, I’ll warm myself in morning light soon. Wind growls outdoors, yet comfortable indoors.
