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.

Passing Pleasure
Standard… 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.
Green or Gold
StandardShin 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.
Gorgeous Gifts
Standard… 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?
Glossy Green
StandardLunar March starts from today, with no moon tonight. Mei-Shun therefore practiced scores featuring that celestial beauty as usual, on Ms. Piano of course. She found Mademoiselle Vert growing 3 flower buds, the most so far. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, Princess Cymby has closed 16 of hers among 22. Please be kind enough to let her thank Your Highness.
Twice Today
StandardYes, it rained from before noon, then in the evening. Mei-Shun stays at home, almost finished tasks including practice on Ms. Piano. “Ständchen” by Master Schubert nicely flew today, yet M. Ravel’s “Pavane pour une Infante Défunte” had several mistakes. Well, she is never able to please every great composer. After a cup of warm green tea, she would take a deep breath and try again.
Rainbow after Rain
StandardStormy weather has finally gone; quiet air would soon embrace a full moon, called by that shade of spring flowers tonight. Or it might be blurred by clouds following wet morning. That is why Mei-Shun chose scores composed by Masters Debussy and Beethoven. “Ständchen” by Master Schubert might be able to join her quiet repertoire … voilà, doubled arcs-en-ciel appear first.
Crescent Crop
StandardWe would expect a 上弦 half moon tonight, while it continues to rain hard from yesterday. Mei-Shun stays home for usual tasks, practiced scores featuring that celestial beauty on Ms. Piano. Shin returned earlier, enjoyed supper before the wife received a food delivery box. How artistic these green bananas are, yet less than photos Professor M takes.
Apology for Ambiguity
StandardGood morning, 24th crescent. Mei-Shun sees too many clouds these days, to find this celestial beauty at 5:00; when she gets up, puts socks on then opens curtains. Gray cotton balls appeared in an hour, accompanied by dim sunlight. That is why she sung moonlight scores composed by Masters Debussy and Beethoven with Ms. Piano. By the way, sooo sorry for a photo of poor quality.
Distribute D?
StandardOh, brilliant 十六夜, Mei-Shun feels happy to see you stay in western sky at 5:30. Shin got on Ms. Moon toward Narita International Airport, heading Vietnam on business. Although we have 啓蟄=kei-chi-tsu, the 3rd of vernal 二十四節気 today, cold air still let them put on thick coats. When the wife returned warm living room, she found a big note on a staff.
