Japanese Culture@holiday

Standard

Yes, this is Culture Day. Along with Labor Thanksgiving Day on 23rd, our national holidays in November never move into Mondays like September: the latter makes “Silver Week” using Respect for the Aged Day and Autumnal Equinox Day. The former often gave Mei-Shun chances to perform on a stage as well. Master Mei-Shu, would she be able to do it again?

Dual Doctors

Standard

Mei-Shun saw Dr. N again, with an appointment made last week. She also would like to visit a clinic managed by one of her home dermatologists Dr. I — they are neighbors taking merely 5 minutes on Ms. Scarlet from one to the other. She therefore reserved the latter online just before leaving home. Now she arrived, has her number already been called? It has, please accept her apology for her absence.

In and Out

Standard

Mei-Shun got on Ms. Scarlet to see Dr. N, an ophthalmologist and a friend of Dr. A. The latter lady introduced the former to one of her ex-inpatients — their sons were by chance in the same class of an elementary school. By the way, another coincidence is that her home gynecologist Dr. M once worked at the same hospital with Dr. A. Something divine might lead an outpatient toward a petite circle of gentle female doctors.

Standard

Thank you so much, Dr. A. She gave Mei-Shun a phone call meaning “Yes” on weekend, made an ex-inpatient and her husband feel delighted. Oh, it was the same date of March when some comments accompanied previous okay. By the way, she had planned to see both Drs. A and N in next appointment 2024. On the other hand, application deadline for the latter is the middle of coming November.

After 8Ys + 24Wks

Standard

Mei-Shun got on Ms. Scarlet at 9 : 00 to see Dr. A for a half-an-year checkup. On the way to the hospital, she dropped in a bakery who serves her favorite baguettes. Yes, really are tasty chopsticks with milk/peanut cream. They accompanied her toward a car park there, stay good boys/girls cooled by ice packs. When they came home together, a little leaf bud of Mademoiselle Vert welcomed them.

Petit Partner

Standard

Mei-Shun has become aware of her right, little finger moves weirdly when she sings with Ms. Piano. It once stretches upward, then beat a key while the left never takes such an action. Well, the former serves much more than the latter to play main melodies. On a closer view, it is bent outward compared to the other. It would be her great pleasure to keep it healthy.

Midnight Moon

Standard

One of problems Mei-Shun has since house repair began is that her favorite, great entity in the sky became invisible through windows. Covered with cloth like a mammoth mosquito net, only vague sights are available when she opens shutters. Still, it has been much improved compared to last week when all doors and windows were sealed with plastic sheets.

Pottery Place

Standard

Mei-Shun came back toward this hair salon, a 5-minute walk from home: she was troubled a little here actually in April. Learning from the 1st candidate shop nearer-by, she told about her problem to the owner lady at the 2nd. “As for dyeing, my advice is to see your accustomed beautician again”, she said. “If you would like cut and shampoo only, we require no reservation”. How convenient it sounds!

Tea Time

Standard

Thanks a million not to darling you, but to Ms. Last One today. Almost 2 years might have passed since Mei-Shun danced with her in previous occasion. And it took nearly a whole year for this rider to remember how to canter. Now she would revise the list of classes reserved; which lesson, who is the best to improve her technique? She is pleased to think about it on a cup of 新茶.

Long and Lovely

Standard

Mei-Shun saw Dr. W again. Feeling much better, slight cough still follows when she speaks. Warm rain never prevents her from driving Ms. Scarlet, who resembles pretty strawberries called 章姫=aki-hime arrived this morning. Both of them helped her to recover; the former quietly served for her round trip to the clinic, the latter ladies to satisfy her eyes, mouth and stomach.
