Mei-Shun and M-chan enjoyed a little party tonight. They met in a car park of a cafe located within the University of Tsukuba campus: the former drove Ms. Scarlet toward one of favorite restaurants for the latter. Outdoor torches have already been kindled, a Christmas tree welcomed them beside the entrance. Oh, starfish seems to replace celestial luminary in Hawaii.
Merry Christmas
Failed yet Fair
StandardHere is a Christmas tree Mei-Shun ordered online. Some of them at a shop caught her eyes, who immediately asked Shin if he also likes it. “Lovely, choose one you prefer”, he replied. However, what are these white chips spread down on the floor? Well, they come from greens looking like fir twigs. All right, you are an apple cake. She must be very careful not to let your sugar fall.
Waning, Waxing,
StandardSo the last month of 2024 on solar calendar started. Mei-Shun gets up at 5 : 00 on weekdays, found 下弦の月 or a crescent getting thinner in eastern sky within November. She wishes to see 上弦の月, the same leading to full shape float in western sunset from tonight. Foliage along streets in Tsukuba is still colorful, while almost every shops adorns Christmas trees.
Cute Choice
StandardMei-Shun took a thin stove out of a colorful box, designed by a pencils maker. This product itself is shaped like a big red pencil, while brought toward any room thanks to handy size. That might be a reason why her daughter with silver coat and green eyes pretty adored it. Please get a bit more away from it, honey, an electric heater is not a Christmas tree.
Holy Horsey
StandardMikan-chan and Mei-Shun visited the club in Tsukuba. Month of Halloween celebration has gone, solar November includes 2 bank holidays. One is Culture Day on 3rd, nicely set on Sunday this year: it was replaced by 4th leading to 3 serial off days. However, above and the other Labor Thanksgiving are too vague if tried to express in ornaments. We would like it more tangible and brilliant.
Brilliant Beauty
StandardShin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun saw a gorgeous sunrise this morning. Dark and cloudy around 5 : 00, flame red to yellow suddenly appeared in eastern sky. It reminded the wife of something she likes — oh, a pair of glasses the husband ordered to celebrate their latest wedding anniversary. It is on Christmas Day, while yesterday on lunar calendar meaning 立春=risshun, the 1st of spring and all 二十四節気.
Cute Cactus?
StandardMeow, it would be the last time for mom to visit a nearby hair salon in 2023. She walked toward there in high heels as usual, read newspaper on a cup of green tea while dyeing. Seasonal music aired, a humidifier gives white steam. Shampoo, drier and curling. Now finished? Coming home soon? That’s great, purr. I and next appointment to dine out is waiting for you.

Decoration Doggie
Standard2023 is said to have seen a long, hottest-ever summer at least in our country. Winter has come, yet quite later compared to before. Mei-Shun’s brain focused so much on it that she almost forgot to set ornaments including above. Weather affected her weight as well, brought amazing loss from August to October. One bag of sugar returned these days, yet gives no problem.
Warm Winter
StandardThis is the last day in 2023 for me and mom to visit “Arles”, purr. A bit rainy under sky full of clouds, we got on Ms. Scarlet. 95% trees lining main streets in Tsukuba already took off colorful coats: only 5% keep still beautiful bright-to-dark red. I prefer such weather which make us sleepy, to freezing one eyes wide open. Here are delicacies we won including a macaron of my flavor or 福来みかん.

Shiny Season
StandardMei-Shun sang with Ms. Piano moonlight scores composed by Masters Debussy and Beethoven today. Sky is full of grey clouds from early morning, freezing while left no frost on Ms. Scarlet. Such weather tends to make us feel sad a little, yet ringing bells, red costume trimmed by white and brilliant light displays go the opposite. “Habanera” by M. Bizet would arrive as a gift soon.
