We expected 十五夜, the most gorgeous moon shape last night. Thanks to a rainfall came earlier than forecast, Mei-Shun greeted a 朧月 blurred a bit by thin clouds. She featured scores composed by Masters Debussy and Beethoven before noon, might call both of tearful windows and that celestial beauty. Solar July 2026 had the 2nd brilliant 十三夜 as well, all covered with a hard shower.
We could expect 十日夜の月= 10th moon of to-kan-ya tonight, while a rainfall. Mei-Shun wishes both of them, yet it is quite difficult – a celestial beauty among 3 shapes celebrated for a long time, or merciful water from dark sky. The latter also means Momo-chan mother and daughters enjoy shower twice. Now which scores would she choose on Ms. Piano, great masters?
Mei-Shun recently started a kind of 断捨離=dan-sha-ri; meaning cut, throw away and leave from keepsakes. Shin always gives her flowers, sweets and accessories on anniversaries, while souvenirs when he makes business trips. Dried bouquets, empty boxes and cans have accumulated beside Ms. Piano, stairs and in storage containers. This summer without horsey riding is a good chance.
Mei-Shun recognized a slight difference on Ms. Piano: humidity seems to affect her tone. When it reaches more than 70%, she sounds a bit muffled. Such timing makes above player turn on Mr. Air Conditioner in “dry” mode. Ms. T said the minimum condition for this musical instrument is 50%. Now it was lowered toward 60%, the best. Shall we enjoy clearer songs of moonlight?
It rains hard from early morning. Mademoiselle Vert opened all her 19 flowers, enjoying shower outdoors. Mei-Shun brought her indoors when it stopped shedding tears around noon. Now she is ready to practice moonlight scores: it really is 梅雨 this year, who often prevents our seeing that celestial beauty or feeling the longest daytime on 夏至. Would you also continue until the end of solar July?
Shin is on board for the U.S.A. again. He left home before 6:00, drove Ms. Moon toward Haneda Airport. Train might delay caused by a slight earthquake last night, let Mei-Shun make good use of 先勝=sen-sho, a day the better if start working earlier. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, Wednesday means she must practice “La Chevaleresque” composed by Master Burgmüller, missing horsey riding.
A typhoon numbered 6th in 2026 traveled through our main island Honshu yesterday. It brought cool air into Kanto region, let Mei-Shun pull long sleeves out of drawers. She practiced preferred scores on Ms. Piano as usual, missing horsey riding a little. However, Wednesdays are the best for seeing those lovely friends. That might be why Jangmi was scheduled to stop her breaking a new rule.
… means practice on Ms. Piano for Mei-Shun, at least 4 days a week. If she cannot do more, superior activities take her time. With energy limited, good allocation is required. For example, outdoor enthusiasm like horsey riding, excursion and family/friend reunion have the most priority. Household tasks follow indoors, make the reason why minimum numbers come.
Shin and Mei-Shun finished their holidays yesterday, started weekdays again from today. The husband returned home on the last day of solar April, while the wife had a runny nose. He sleeps well since then; she does not, breathing by one hole only. On the other paw of sleepy Mikan-chan, dulcet melody, harmony and rhythm always give her refreshment in mind.
… Shin brought home, thanks a million: he returned from U.S.A. late last night. A bottle of exquisite whiskey born in our country sits within a wooden box. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, a glittering paper bag accommodates famous American chocolates. Oh, big and beautiful 十五夜 moon appeared in eastern sky. What scores would Mei-Shun practice, after a daytime storm?
