Two Twins?

Standard

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.

Vital Violet

Standard

Mom-in-law’s technique to grow vegetables is remarkable. She often gives Mei-Shun agricultural products; okra, cucumber, tomato, potato and egg plant here. No chemicals while a little fertilizer, she also cooks them well. Crisps would be cordially welcomed by her daughter-in-law, who saw nice numbers on a scale last night. This severe summer made her the slimmest after marriage.

Baby Bottom

九月場所 of sumo wrestling started from yesterday. Not only Mei-Shun’s favorite rikishi in the top 幕内 rank, 2 young guys belong to 二所ノ関部屋, who proceeded toward 2nd highest 十両 won their respective first bouts. All of them like fish, while one of the latter peaches as well. He is a Fukushima native, fair-skinned and a good sport. Here is your aunt in kimono, shall we share above?

First & Fresh

Standard

Shin kindly ordered golden peaches for Mei-Shun. Yes, they are on the top of her favorite fruits list. He enjoyed 3 of them, went out early this morning for a business trip to Taiwan. Other 3, his wife and Mikan-chan would stay good girls for 2 nights. According to him, other 2 boxes will follow while grapes as well. They therefore must exercise a lot to consume gorgeous desserts.

Regular Reunion

Standard

Mei-Shun met Professor M at a coffee shop opened in Tsukuba University campus. At least half an year seems to have passed since they saw each other at her place last time. Outer wall was in color of biscuit, moon mist right now. They talked about his recent business trip to Brazil, beloved Master Mei-Shu and her husband Mr. O, hopefully followed by new appointments.

Clear Colors

Standard

Yes, as Mikan-chan kindly wrote yesterday, Mei-Shun drove Ms. Scarlet toward Tsukuba this afternoon. Accompanied by her silver daughter with emerald eyes in mind, she dropped in the nearest shrine to greet Gods — it is their 1st visit here in recent, torrid 1 month and a half. Great to see you again, white lily. Shall we make a wish of 朔 together?

Charming Color

Standard

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

Standard

Before 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

Standard

Purr, 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

Standard

Mei-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.
