Thank you so much, Professor M. He gave Mei-Shun a photo of cute ume=plum flowers last week, informing her on his business trip to Tunisia. Regarding that flower, mom-in-law never forgets to cook お赤飯=red-bean rice on our national holidays. She puts it into a tiny 重箱=lacquered/layered box shaped like a red ume, which her son and daughter-in-law purchased.
Mei-Shun saw her home dentist Dr. M this afternoon for a routine checkup. The former dropped in one of her favorite bakeries before arriving at the clinic of course: delicacies would make her mouth happy who got over an exhausting procedure. Actually, Shin brought home lovely sweets on weekend, due by early days of next month. Some of you therefore will stay in a freezer.
So 2024 sees the 2nd Monday on our national holiday: 成人の日=Coming of Age Day following January 1st 元旦=New Year’s Day. Mei-Shun replenished 2 茶筒=green tea cans, walked to a nearby hair salon in a down jacket of Shin who went into futon again after breakfast. He is a bit too big to step over and reach her wardrobe. When they went out for shopping together later, she put on a coat in color of orange or Mikan-chan.
This is the last day in 2023 for me and mom to visit “Arles”, purr. A bit rainy under sky full of clouds, we got on Ms. Scarlet. 95% trees lining main streets in Tsukuba already took off colorful coats: only 5% keep still beautiful bright-to-dark red. I prefer such weather which make us sleepy, to freezing one eyes wide open. Here are delicacies we won including a macaron of my flavor or 福来みかん.

Mei-Shun does not mean a sweets shop, yet a bakery nearby a clinic her home dentist Dr. M works for. She makes it a rule to treat herself to baguettes with peanut/milk cream put between, before or after patience. It stopped raining around noon, slight sunshine came into rooms. The sooner the better — Mikan-chan, warm air and charming scent would encourage her.
Labor Thanksgiving Day it is, I heard from mom. However, she drove dad to the nearest station as usual. He seems a bit busy, after a short business trip to the U.S. last week. Now, shall we get ready for freezing weekend? Mr. Blue, great to see you again. What do you put on the head? お赤飯=red-bean rice cooked by mom’s mom-in-law living downstairs? Sounds nice, purr.

The only sad matter for Mei-Shun regarding current 九州場所 was absence of her favorite rikishi. They say he was injured in a leg during 巡業 tour held in October. So hard a job it is, building strong muscle and mind simply coated by their own fat. She therefore cheered all wrestlers, putting on a 羽織 jacket. Now it is over, let’s go to a restaurant serving longtooth grouper loved by above guys.
This is my lunar birthday, purr. I and mom got on Ms. Scarlet together at 13 : 00, headed her for the horsey riding club in a bit too warm air. It might be final to dance with you here, Ms. Last One. Please keep a good girl as I always do. Now we came home, ready to see numbers on a scale. They were fine enough, let us enjoy dinner full of various rice dishes and sweets.

Meow, I and mom visited “Arles” yesterday, brought home sweets including a lovely ghost above. They all are somehow in shade of my name, purr. By the way, she told me 八百万の神＝8-million Gods in our country gather at 出雲 this month. That is why October is called 神無月= month with no Gods around most of us. We might have to be watchful toward opposite spirits.

It seems to Mei-Shun that there are many, imperative pairs around us; our hands, eyes, ears, legs, etc. If one of them be in trouble, the other could work twice. However, it is not so easy because we take their normal functions for granted. She was interested in “pas de deux” or duet in kabuki dance as well, never has come true in person yet with horsey these days.
