Lunar October starts from today, while with 仏滅=butsu-metsu; the worst among 六曜 and a cold rainfall. Shin went out on Ms. Moon for business, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun stayed home. When the latter wife tried practice “La Cinquantaine” not wearing glasses, she felt somehow confused. Her eyes do not gaze, but take glances at scores. Then fingers follow to let ears listen.
Quiet rain sound woke Mei-Shun up at 4:55. She slipped out of futon, succeeded in escaping from alarm set at 5:00 by Shin. Since weather forecasts mentioned a tiny front on Pacific Ocean, the wife sang moonlight scores with Ms. Piano; not Prelude No. 15 “Raindrop” composed by Master Chopin. Well, horsey riding lessons were already canceled. That means no scale either (^^;)
Mom normally sings by fingers 5 days a week. Fridays are kept for horsey riding lessons, when I get on Ms. Scarlet with her driving, purr. I prefer staying home to going out, while know the latter makes us better both in mind and body. Her long summer vacation is over, 寒冷順化 time has come. Shall we take a deep breath, stretch our limbs/paws and wait good perspiration?

We have 寒露=kanro, the 5th of autumnal 二十四節気 today. Yes, it finally has come – later sunrises, earlier sunsets are seen; cooler dawn and dusk felt. Momo-chan took off green yukata, grows new leaves blooming a few. A hygrometer set within a clock shows below 50%. That is not why Mei-Shun made disastrous mistakes in your beautiful scores, Master Beethoven?
One of mom’s (and dad’s maybe) favorite months started on solar calendar yesterday. He looks better and slimmer, while she does so-so. I have felt all sleepy during rainy September, she has sung moonlight scores with Ms. Piano. Her “Brautchor” from opera “Lohengrin” sounds less mistakes these days, purr. However, nearly 5-week absence for Master Chopin resulted in … a tragedy.

Lunar August has come. Attended by 二百十日; 210th day from 立春=risshun, the 1st of 二十四節気. And 友引 follows; 2nd best among 六曜, yet just after the best 大安 seen yesterday, replacing 4th 赤口. By the way, a weather forecaster said 2026 Tokyo gained only 7-hour sunshine in September. That does not matter Mei-Shun’s “Clair de Lune” practice almost every day.
Here we are at the end of solar August. That might mean the same for school children’s summer vacation. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, Mei-Shun newly started practicing “Brautchor” from opera “Lohengrin” composed by Master W. R. Wagner. Well-known, simple, yet not so much remembered into details. Such a score requires careful reading, while just 2 pages let a poor player feel safe.
… I and mom felt as early as 2:00 on Sunday, precisely featured within this crystal figures. We were on futon mat sleeping when that shock hit us, while dad moved into his study by chance. He rushed back to the bed room, shouted “Are you all right?” No problem; same to you, purr. It was this morning when mom heard something tinkle on Ms. Piano.

It rained so hard last night, that mom could not sleep well. Her “Clair de Lune” practice might not serve to call that celestial beauty these days. On the other paw of mine, she recently renewed membership in a sumo stable fan club. You can change 推し=favorite rikishi, yet her 名取 heart is always with him whose 四股名=土俵 ring name is seen above. Purr … purrr …

We expect a 下弦 half moon tonight, while a slight rainfall in the morning led a lot of clouds. Once bright sunshine came onto Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun, then gray sky shed foggy tears. Which scores would the latter choose in such a dizzying change, Ms. Piano? Her normal practice starts from “Clair de Lune” – might always call for that celestial beauty in wet weather.
