Mei-Shun vacuumed filters of 2 air conditioners; one is in living room where she works when stays at home, the other bed room accommodates. She started from the former, felt a bit relieved at its sight. Turning to the latter, she tried pulling them towards herself — oh, horizontal parts looked dusted more than vertical sifts. She returned to a sofa, opened a lid again above it.

Big Baguette?
StandardWell, it is udon noodle. Shin, accompanied by Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun, drove Ms. Moon toward a restaurant famous for such size. The husband chose one called 田舎うどん, simmered in miso soup; the wife ちからうどん soy-sauce soup poured on, topped with baked rice cakes. It is so thick that nobody would slurp — must cut to bite, using smaller chopsticks.
Cute Caps
StandardThanks a million, Mr. Marumorita. Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun enjoyed dancing with him today, after a whole month. Pretty Mademoiselle Angel was their first partner, whose steps were half-and-half 速駈歩 or trot-canter. On the other paw of fluffy silver, her mom noticed that triple-time rhythm leading to the fastest gallop is slower than duple, taught after quadruple 常歩.
Amusement Added
Standard… into sunset violet from night-sky cobalt blue. Oh, beautiful 3rd crescent, great to see you again. This is the last day of solar April, which reminds Mei-Shun of the number Ms. Moon carries — it is like February 29th in leap years only. At Dr. N‘s clinic, patients must input theirs into the system when going under car park gate. Ms. Scarlet never helps above driver in her ivory friend.
First Flower
StandardMei-Shun noticed a young apple tree bloom in a light rain this morning. It is mom-in-law who planted it several years before, yet no blossom has been seen so far. We say 桃栗三年柿八年, meaning peach and chestnut take 3 years to bear fruit, persimmon does 8. According to an expert, ume plum follows by 13, pear 15, yuzu citrus 18, table orange 20 and above amazing 25.
Brownie Branch
StandardA weather forecaster recently said that 2025 染井吉野 cherry bloomed as usual, yet took longer toward full blossom thanks to chill, snowy days. Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun therefore enjoyed them on 2 weekends while the husband repaired a flowerless tree indoors to hang coats. The wife is happy to clean up his study floor occupied by a pile of shirts and bags.
Pretty Pink
StandardMikan-chan and Mei-Shun found peach trees in a queue, along a lane toward Tsukuba horsey riding club. The latter driver of Ms. Scarlet saw them bloom as heading there, yet gave up photos because they are on her left side. After enjoying dance with Mr. Marumorita, here they are just on the right. Be careful not to involve cars pass by, watch traffic light.
Superb and Satisfying
StandardYes, both are enough. Shocking numbers on a scale made Mei-Shun resume porridge method; freshly cooked rice must appear on a table in daytime, followed by above with more water at night. She took just 5 days to take off one bag of sugar from around waist. Would such weight come because she searched her favorite rikishi on PC too much? What do you think, Mr. Marumorita?
Upward Umbrella
StandardOh, how violent today’s wind is! Mei-Shun hung above one and another in early morning, waited for them dried enough. She actually canceled classes at Tsukuba horsey riding club, taking heavy rain of yesterday as caused rice paddy there. Her choice seems correct: such weather would make Mr. White Mocha stand still in the field, while Mademoiselle Angel might not care.
Cute Candies
StandardMei-Shun is quite pleased to resume one of her weight-control methods from today. A whole week saw gum under that poor molar stop bleeding, let dental floss safely go back and forth. She has held off on titled sweets for 2 weeks, while helped much by bonbons aux chocolats purchased for Professor A — he had another appointment when she handed the same box to Prof. M.
