Sleepy Sweet

Standard

We have 小満=shoman, the 2nd of summer 二十四節気 today. Quite torrid like in July, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun visited Tsukuba horsey riding club after a whole week; wet weather prevented them from coming here, dancing with Mr. Marumorita. Fly armours seem to work so well that he kept peaceful. Now how has such perspiration served for her weight? A scale gave one of the best numbers.

Cute Caps

Standard

Thanks a million, Mr. Marumorita. Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun enjoyed dancing with him today, after a whole month. Pretty Mademoiselle Angel was their first partner, whose steps were half-and-half 速駈歩 or trot-canter. On the other paw of fluffy silver, her mom noticed that triple-time rhythm leading to the fastest gallop is slower than duple, taught after quadruple 常歩.

Joy of Appetite: 1

Standard

Mei-Shun dined with niece M-chan this evening. The former saw her home dentist Dr. M in the morning, dropped in a bakery. Since she overslept to pass breakfast, nice lunch pleased her refreshed teeth and mouth. Now which superb menu would follow here? Garlic shrimp is recommendation of the latter lovely, all right. Attached is a glass of tea lemonade whose color would change …

First Flower

Standard

Mei-Shun noticed a young apple tree bloom in a light rain this morning. It is mom-in-law who planted it several years before, yet no blossom has been seen so far. We say 桃栗三年柿八年, meaning peach and chestnut take 3 years to bear fruit, persimmon does 8. According to an expert, ume plum follows by 13, pear 15, yuzu citrus 18, table orange 20 and above amazing 25.

Wonderful Walk

Standard

It really is, even if Mei-Shun caught a cold. Sore throat followed by running nose, or stuffed up during bedtime. Such condition is not suitable for driving, let alone dancing with horseies. Missing Mademoiselle Angel, Mr. Marumorita, Mr. White Mocha and other sweethearts, she went out on foot. With nice wind, taking 5 times longer than by car, it would let her enjoy 名古屋 souvenir from Shin.

Sakura, Sakura

Standard

Shin and Mei-Shun walked to the nearest shrine on weekend, accompanied by Mikan-chan of course. Lovely wild flowers greeted them along a lane between rice paddy, while cherry trees after they climbed steep steps leading to the main building. Almost in full blossom, these flowers gently watched over above couple who drew omikuji lots. The husband saw 吉=lucky, the wife 小吉=a little lucky.

Train Tour

Standard

Rainfall from yesterday let Mei-Shun visit a hair salon nearby Tokyo Station. She went there one day before birthday, therefore might have kept her head a bit too heavy. Spring sights, nice treatment, shopping at a department store, all gave her relaxation both in body and mind. By the way, why does a group of buffs take photos on the next platform? Is this a rare car?

Superb and Satisfying

Standard

Yes, both are enough. Shocking numbers on a scale made Mei-Shun resume porridge method; freshly cooked rice must appear on a table in daytime, followed by above with more water at night. She took just 5 days to take off one bag of sugar from around waist. Would such weight come because she searched her favorite rikishi on PC too much? What do you think, Mr. Marumorita?

Her Highness

Standard

Princess Cymby 2025 gave all 33 flowers open. As the first 3 buds greeted Mei-Shun on one paw or wing of Mikan-chan, the last on another let her mom watch warily. The youngest lady said hello perhaps on 14th, White Day when gentle Professor K sent the latter a box of delicious 銀のすず. Both arms of the former followed soon, then a cap and shoulders did.

Fluffy Fur

Standard

Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun visited their Tsukuba horsey riding club, danced a little with Mr. White Mocha after Mademoiselle Angel in trot steps. Sunny weather with almost no wind, good exercise gave the latter slight perspiration. Since hung futon mats outdoors, she rushed back home. Thanks a million, blue sky, they are nicely dry. And satisfying numbers seen on a scale, eradicated her shock last week.
