This is Mei-Shun’s second 2016 omikuji.

第四十四番　吉　The 44th Lucky

このみくじにあう人は　碁に黒白の石が置いてあるように　吉凶はないが　心遣いと努力があれば　後にはすべて良くなる　物事先んずれば良く　遅れれば利なし　神仏の御加護を信じ　熟慮断行すれば　幸せ来る

For those who see this sacred lot, lucky and unlucky matters share their existence as go game has black and white stones on the board. Take good care of other people while making efforts for yourselves. Everything would be better in the future. The sooner the better, no delay for profit. Believe in the protection of the God, consider before implementation. Happiness would soon come.

A stone of passion, carnelian was attached to the lot. It would bring triumph to your business and sports, they say.

Mikan-chan’s mom rushed back to the farmhouse. It looked holding a festival. Swimming her way through the crowd, she reached a grocer’s shop and asked a clerk if they had kept a brown purse cats drawn on. “Ah, let me see,” he smiled and whispered a few words to a little girl sitting at the counter. “Here you are,” she opened both hands.

Such an honesty could fall on you in this country, even if you are the most careless person.

Beauty Excursion

Since Mei-Shun has lost contact with one of her hair designers, she reserved another saloon in Tokyo for a haircut. Reasons why she chose it follow as 3 Cs; convenience, contents and communication. Located in Shinagawa, reasonable price and good technique, friendly but not talkative staff. Humm. She likes it.

So you have come to our hands. We asked our stage properties shop to rent him before performance. This white-haired head is not so heavy, yet the stick is much longer than expected. Mei-Shun felt it a good decision … Anybody needs a time to get used to it. Even if we pay for it, Master Mei-Shu.

We have it tonight. It is clear, the best condition to have a little party at home. Yesterday enjoyed the harvest moon, so two consecutive days of beauty in the sky, round-shape sweets on the table. It comes only once this year, compared to three times last year — very rare phenomena.

Happy harvest!

We had a 5-day holiday called “Silver Week” from 19th to today this year. It includes Respect for the Elderly Day, which has been celebrated on the third Monday of September due to our Happy Monday System while Autumnal Equinox Day on Wednesday. Such arrangement makes Tuesday a national holiday to make us even happier. And many of us hope to have this consecutive holidays every year along with “Golden Week” in May.
