Morning Moon

Standard

Shin went on a business trip to Nagoya, had to catch a train departs around 6 : 00. Mei-Shun drove him to the nearest station, found a big gold medal over railways. Yes, we would see the 2nd full moon of 2022 tomorrow with 大安=tai-an. Even if a 仏滅 today, it helps us to enjoy anything, anytime. Oh, Mikan-chan, do you agree with mom? How cute you are on a cushion!

Snowy Sugar

Standard

Meow, it rains from early morning today. Mom canceled her reservation at a horsey riding club, stays home with me, purr. Weather forecasters warn that it would turn snow after dark, continue till dawn tomorrow. Last time of such sight was seen on January 6th when she was one-year younger. And you have already lost more than 2 bags of sugar since then? Congratulations!

旧新年

Standard

Another Happy New Year! Mei-Shun visited Master Bando in kimono, from today to spare time: she would like to stay home with 18-year-old Mikan-chan as long as possible. Changing clothes from normal European/American style to traditional Japanese is also a kind of lesson, she has learned much from above lady and Ms. S. Next stage means to make お太鼓 by her wider 名古屋帯 than usual 半幅帯.

Second Start

Standard

So this is it. 大晦日=New Year’s Eve, yet December 29th on lunar calendar we have today, just one month behind solar one. Mei-Shun would like to serve Shin something good, suitable for another celebration tonight. They enjoyed udon noodle instead of soba at the end of last year — if fine and long nature of the latter resembles our longevity, the former would be the same.

After 6Y + 43Wks

Standard

Mei-Shun planned to see Dr. A for half-an-year examination today. However, several matters including Mikan-chan’s condition forced her human mom to change date of above appointment. It became March 15th, just 7 weeks ahead when she wishes current variant of that novel coronavirus to be soothed. Hi darling, what a good girl whose breakfast took a jelly stick around teatime!

Amicable Apple

Standard

Thank you so much, Mr. Calvados. He is the eldest at the horsey riding club Mei-Shun lately visits on Thursdays. There seems to be several ways to change his 27 years old into human age, from 78 to 89. Yet his coat, eyes and muscle look much younger in cold 大寒 air, perhaps never minding such a little matter. She purchased that bottle of alcohol respectful to him.

Acknowledgement

Standard

Please kindly let Mei-Shun say thanks a million to Shin, Mikan-chan, mom, mom-in-law,  friends and distinguished 456 followers for celebrating her birthday. It is the greatest joy to take pleasure in everything with you, spend precious time day by day smiling. She cordially wishes you beautiful and prosperous future. All the same to good people she has not yet met.

Salon Shock

Standard

So it is the last day for mom to enjoy her current years old. She left home around 9 : 00, returned before 11 : 00. It is within morning, much earlier than yesterday. However, why you forced me to be alone so often? You made a promise to keep at least every 2 days to stay with me from morning till night, didn’t you? This tiny pool on the floor is therefore a penalty for your breaking it.

First Fall

Standard

… of snow this winter began around noon, mom told me. Meow, it is so interesting that let me gaze beyond the widest window before stepping down from a sofa for water. She put on dad’s puff jacket, went out to replenish Mr. Blue. Good job, if he gets empty after dark, we would have to stay in milder air warmed by an air conditioner. Oh, Tora-chan sounds coming home. Purr … purrr …

Thank Thee

Standard

So this is the end of 2021, the last weekday and report on cat, dance, piano, etc. from Mei-Shun. They taught her a lot through an year as usual:

Cats work every day with their loveliness. They might do their jobs the most at home.

Kabuki dance requires good body trunk first. Muscle follows next.

Piano does concentration. Practice before singing by fingers.
