Mei-Shun saw the best numbers on a scale this evening, after dancing with Mr. Galerie. He gave her just one step of canter last week, while much more to go around a circle today. On the other hand, she has been living on cook mom-in-law, did almost nothing by herself for a whole week. However, no appetite made her rush to dishes or sweets. Now everything returned to normal.

Miraculous Month
StandardWe have a full moon tonight, still seen blurred to Mei-Shun’s eyes through a covered window. It would be removed tomorrow meaning our home repair finished. All 3 family members are well, 2 women at home while only man in Chicago. A clear 十六夜 is therefore wished by the former. And the latter could enjoy it on board perhaps, heading east to Boston.
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.
Torrid Tournament
StandardMei-Shun enjoyed sumo wrestling on TV yesterday, when it was 千穐楽=the last day of 15-day match. With Shin’s birthday on lunar calendar as well, she vacuumed all rooms before putting on kimono. Oh, 3 rikishi of 3rd highest 幕下 rank, belonging to 二所ノ関部屋 succeeded in 勝ち越し meaning 4 or more wins. 2nd highest 十両 one also did by 10 wins, while her favorite of other stable won 8 in the highest 幕内.
Joy of Noto: 2
StandardThanks a lot, Mikan-chan. As she gently wrote with fluffy paws, their goal on the 2nd day of trip to 能登半島 was 輪島の朝市=morning market. Summer wind here is also harsh, yet green rice paddies look growing well. Oh, hello grandma who sells cute, handmade works. It seems to Mei-Shun that similar items are on a table, while not the same lady she met several years before.
Helmet Highness
StandardThanks a million, Shin. He kindly ordered above head gear for Mei-Shun, whose current one has a slight problem. Also made in Germany, via New Zealand this time. Your debut would be later though, honey. Her older boots are employed right now, horseies prefer cooler environment after September. On the other hand, heavy perspiration during summer let her see better numbers on a scale.
Shining Summer
StandardMei-Shun found above 棗=jujube blooming. Tiny flowers in light green are difficult to see from a distance, yet she noticed them thanks to rice — water used to wash it is kept in an old kettle shaped like an orange (or helpful Mikan-chan). Then it works as a nutritive fertilizer, spread onto plants in our garden. Not only feeding many of us, this great staple food also grows tasty fruits.
Farewell, Flavor
StandardPlease let Mei-Shun say thanks a million to you kind 498 followers. Who would be the last 2 persons to reach her number of wish? By the way, she made a little mistake: stored 八十八夜摘み茶 in Ms. Cuby, refrigerator for too long to keep its sweet scent. If she did not open the package vacuum sealed, it would still give perfect air of early May. Only maintained is bright green.
Open Omikuji
StandardMei-Shun visited the nearest shrine after several months on weekend. Oh, twin 狛犬 A- and N-chans, great to see you two again. She had missed you so much, yet could not keep enough power to walk toward here. Now everything is fine, as her dance with Ms. Carino Piccola today. This horsey lady seems to prefer clockwise to our regular lessons going counter.
Dental Diet?
StandardMei-Shun saw Dr. M, her home dentist this morning. Artificial Ame-chan would finally be attached toward her right upper jaw. They first cleaned teeth up, then put paste like gum into her mouth to take impressions — oh, a big baby who ate pink cakes is in a mirror. Yes, she saw nice numbers on a scale last night, after just one lesson with Ms. Last One.
