Good morning, Ms. 立待月. Yes, she still stays at 5 : 00; let us see her again as 居待月 tonight. It is actually the 2nd time for Mei-Shun to greet her: 1st was when she drove Ms. Scarlet at 22 : 00 yesterday to pick Shin up. Since the husband would make a business trip to U.S.A. from tomorrow, the wife is busy to pack his suitcase. It is fine for him as well, to get rid of cedar pollen.

Dynamic Doggy
StandardMei-Shun met her only niece M-chan last weekend. Time flied at least for the aunt, who felt really happy to see this girl — oops, a woman, since she has already celebrated her coming of age. By the way, the former found something weird walking outdoors. It first looked like an android featured in Sci-Fi films. However, the latter caught it again at a graduation exhibition by the faculty of arts.
Japanese Culture@holiday
StandardThank you so much, Professor M. He gave Mei-Shun a photo of cute ume=plum flowers last week, informing her on his business trip to Tunisia. Regarding that flower, mom-in-law never forgets to cook お赤飯=red-bean rice on our national holidays. She puts it into a tiny 重箱=lacquered/layered box shaped like a red ume, which her son and daughter-in-law purchased.
Spring Snow
StandardMei-Shun got on Ms. Scarlet accompanied by Mikan-chan yesterday, when slight rain started to fall. They hoped it would stop for a while, at least during 30-minute lesson with Mademoiselle Angel. However, it was callous enough to change into heavy sleet soon. They were therefore forced to cancel reserved classes, turn toward a department store nearby with a bit pleasure.
Dew Drops
StandardThey seemed, yet icy in early morning. It is Shin who normally drives to the nearest station, Mei-Shun replaces him toward home. Stormy weather covers almost all of us today, prevented many including above wife from going outdoors. Well, Ms. Piano is waiting for her. Oh, brilliant 十三夜 moon appears over there. Did you hear them sing for you?
Koto no Kaori
Standard…or scent of an ancient capital. Mei-Shun found a shop of 松榮堂=sho-ei-do, her favorite incense company in Kyoto. And it was Kaori-san who gave a cute sachet made by them before her friend from high school days had an operation. On the other hand, her first name means “fragrance” in our mother tongue. Such an attractive item might connect these 2 women giving them power to survive.
Pink Paws
StandardMei-Shun dropped in a good bakery in Tsukuba after enjoy trotting with Ms. Je te … ? Jetez mille feux! You are so kind that let this mom not only learn riding, but also study French. She heard of your father, assured by Shin who knows many race horseies. It still does not matter to her at all, from whom you are. Just thankful to yourself and Mikan-chan for giving her joy of good communication.
Terrific Tour
StandardMei-Shun received invitation to Kaori-san‘s exhibition held next January in Kyoto. Oh, it opens on birthday of the former. She therefore would choose another day to see one of her most important friends, when the latter artist stays at the gallery. What a great chance to visit that ancient capital of our country! Best restaurants are waiting for Shin, Mikan-chan and her mom as well.
Cool Crescent
StandardThank you so much, Professor M. His image of that beautiful entity seems the best to Mei-Shun. Caused by a thunderstorm from evening, almost nobody would be able to see anything in the sky tonight. By the way, Mr. Magical Thunder kindly danced with her. As soon as she got on Ms. Scarlet, raindrops started to fall. Did you ask your colleagues to wait? What a nice guy!
Kimono in Kyushu
StandardMei-Shun won a ticket for sumo basho held in November at 福岡. It is birthplace of her beloved father, something might lead his younger daughter. She actually tried to get one for 両国, Tokyo from Sunday yet failed — well, many buffs of this sport prefer better access. Since she was joking when participated in a kind of raffle draw on the net, a message to inform on success almost shocked her.
