Here are Mei-Shun’s friends this summer, especially for horsey riding. In order to avoid heat stroke, hydration during lessons is attached much importance. Vending machines run at full capacity there, isotonic drinks often sold out. She sometimes brings energy-blended tea, yet a bit scared of food poisoning. And above sweet marbles assist her candy-first method.

Joy of Kyoto: 2
StandardBefore seeing 大船鉾, Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun dined at C’est Sympa. Their favorite French restaurant here looked fine serving for 4 groups. Last year made them feel a bit worried if the chef and his wife would get along: above couple were the only guests that night. Now that “novel” coronavirus is similar to seasonal flu, you might have to be on a waiting list.
Best Beauty
StandardPurr, dad brought home above bins of cooked peach. “This white breed would be on store shelves soon,” he explained to me and mom. “So they remove smaller, worse-shaped ones before picking up attractive products.” It sounds a bit weird to me: why do you need to make choice by looks? What is the most important for fruits? “If it is sweet and juicy”, she replied. “You always know the truth.”

Cookie to Cream
StandardMei-Shun found outer wall of home changed color: from biscuit to meringue when she came back from her horsey riding club last evening. They explained that it is the 1st stage followed by the 2nd today. She and Shin hope the 3rd, final would safely be shown soon. By the way, nice numbers on a scale let her enjoy 細巻き, thin rice sticks rolled with 海苔=nori sea vegetable for supper.
Cherry Jewelry
StandardThanks a million, sister Y. She sent Mei-Shun above this year as well: the former knows the latter loves it. Shin prefers darker American breed, while peach is also on the top of her favorite fruit list. Green melon follows them in summer for the wife, red and water one for the husband. He likes bananas with many sugar spots, called rotten by her. She is fond of crispy apples, waited by him until softened.
Cute & Colorful
StandardThis date has come again for me and mom to visit “Arles” together, purr. Mr. Diamond, you are really a good guy keeping both of our convenience and enough space for construction workers. Of course you too, Ms. Scarlet, who temporary stays at another car park across a street. We got on the former around 15 : 00 tea time. Dad in weight control requested tiny macarons only.

Best By
StandardMei-Shun felt a slight tremble this evening after dancing with Mr. Magical Thunder. It was really by chance that she opened a box of canned pastry in the morning, stored for natural disasters. Alarm sound was more scary than the quake itself, since it reminds her of the one occurred 12 years before. Thanks to quiet ground and nice numbers on a scale anyway, she was able to try above sweets after dinner.
Rainy, Airy
StandardShin kindly brought Mei-Shun, who 90% recovered from a sore throat after almost a whole month, to a German restaurant on weekend. They always serve this couple; fine plates to the husband, season-best beer to the wife sharing superb dishes with him of course. Hmm, simmered pork with dried apricot is really delicious. And a rare bottle here, brewed in our country makes amazing combination with it.
Tea Time
StandardThanks a million not to darling you, but to Ms. Last One today. Almost 2 years might have passed since Mei-Shun danced with her in previous occasion. And it took nearly a whole year for this rider to remember how to canter. Now she would revise the list of classes reserved; which lesson, who is the best to improve her technique? She is pleased to think about it on a cup of 新茶.
Definite Delicacy
StandardWe have 八十八夜 today, meaning 88 days have passed since 立春=risshun, the 1st of 二十四節気. It is also the best timing to harvest 1st green tea leaves. Mei-Shun therefore means to drop in a shop before picking Shin up at the nearest station. The wife craves 雁金=karigane (green tea including leaf veins) and 玄米茶=genmai-cha (the same with puffed rice) using a discount ticket delivered to loyal customers.
