Today is my lunar birthday, purr. Dad, I and mom experienced the coldest autumn morning below 10 degrees Celsius. Just a week before, the latest 真夏日=midsummer day above 30 was recorded in Tokyo and Osaka. Mr. Air Conditioner is so much a hard worker that gives us comfortable air at home anytime. Princess Cymby, great to see you again indoors.

… followed handmade by Mei-Shun. Shin kindly gave her above bouquet as usual, celebrating their 33th anniversary. Now you could stay safely with Mikan-chan, Mademoiselle Fleur? Votre mère nouvelle would go shopping. Last 冬瓜=winter melon would be cooked into soup. Other dishes and whipped cream must be prepared, before votre père nouveau returns.
Hello, Mademoiselle Angel. Here one of your moms brought carrot and apple a little. Yes, she is Mei-Shun who had reserved the first lesson after 4 months and 2 weeks today. However, such a weird rainfall forced her to cancel it; while get on Ms. Scarlet accompanied by sweet Mikan-chan, for horsey gears cleaning. Oops, what are these white/blue creatures blooming over black belts?
Here Shin kindly purchased a mattress for Mei-Shun. He already did his own; half the size of a futon, put below upper body to avoid backache. The wife has none, yet is always careful keeping a good posture. On the other Mikan-chan paw, continuous rain made hers a thinner 煎餅蒲団, her feel its longevity. 2 decades have seen them younger, her parents and Fuku-chan.
Mei-Shun met M-chan at a coffee shop nearby University of Tsukuba the latter niece belongs to. Stormy weather caused by Typhoon Dujuan has gone, hot southern air flowed into Ibaraki Prefecture. The former aunty drew a pair of platform sandals from shoes cabinet, put them on as 2026 debut. Here it comes – Mikan-chan in fruit stays behind ice cream.
Shin and Mei-Shun ate out at a Korean-style barbeque restaurant on weekend. The wife ordered a glass of Makgeolli: 3 months have already passed since she finished 黄八丈 shochu at home. She spent perspiration season with no alcohol, actually wanted warm tea. However, charcoal burner emitted enough heat to convince her. It helped lean meats digestion as well.
This fruit is among Mei-Shun’s most favorite, might represent her 2026; she got Momo-chan baby sisters, Shin kindly attended 頒布会=buying club of yellow breed after several years. The former let her enjoy splendour of new life, moved onto the ground in good health. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, the latter is delivered almost once a week. Above is the 4th box, called 黄貴妃.
Mei-Shun won a ticket for sumo 九州場所, held in coming solar November. Loveliest Mikan-chan, would you accompany dad and mom? Since that month has 22nd called いい夫婦の日=Day of Good Couple, one-night trip toward beautiful places is annually planned. The wife had asked Shin to think about 道後温泉 stay if she lost the “bout”: 白星 – 黒星 ratio is 2:8.
Here one of our garden trees gave its first fruit. They say it takes as long as 25 years for apple, yet Shin, mom-in-law and Mei-Shun saw just a few. They owe such fast growth to younger sister-in-law M – she works for an orchard research institute. Looking like a gift wrapping is bird netting the husband prepared. Naturally dropped into it, received by glad “grandma”.
Lunar July starts from today, with obon holidays on solar calendar. It would be full of typhoon effects, followed by approaching Nangka. Sky changes color one after another; blue, white, light/dark gray. That is why Shin imposed a “curfew” for Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun. Thanks a million, Yuko-san, who kindly sent them closed at home a box of 残暑見舞い=late summer gift.
