Melodious Memory

Standard

Lunar October starts from today. With no moon tonight as 朔, Mei-Shun sung scores featuring that celestial beauty on Ms. Piano. Also birthday of Professor A, she sent an arrangement of gerbera, flower for solar November. Dear father in Tsukuba, please accept her gratitude. She never forgets favor from you and Prof. M, bringing her toward that country of ancient Carthãgõ.

Morning Marvel

Standard

Thanks a million for a phone call, Ms. T. Mei-Shun and Ms. Piano are so pleased that sang more scores than usual. The former “doctor” would visit them early next month, solve current problems: some keys sound twice. By the way, many people in our country seem to miss 2025 supermoon last night. Only 立待月 passing 十六夜 shows her beauty, whose photo Professor M might take.

Dress Delights

Standard

Thanks a million, Professor M, for kindly sending above image of celestial beauty to Mei-Shun. When she went out last night to pick Shin up at the nearest station, only white light was seen among thick clouds. “So we are able to recognize her position”, the husband said driving Ms. Scarlet. She still has trouble to keep boot open, yet helps the wife until Ms. Moon comes home.

Great Guys?

Standard

Mei-Shun took finger exercise on Ms. Piano before enjoying lunch with Professors A and M. Master J. Pachelbel, she is really delighted to see you again after your attractive “Kanon” was inducted into her Hall of Fame. Please listen, above former gentleman is like father of the latter and her. He told his “children” smiling, that he was recently designated as the chairman of a local silver club.

Glossy Green

Standard

Mei-Shun recently noticed that “Clair de Lune” composed by Master C. Debussy has the same melody in soprano and bass keys of 2 bars on the 2nd page. This beautiful score consists of chords and single notes at a ratio of 5 : 1, requires all 10 fingers to move through 6 pages. When her ears catch something weird, either of little ones tends to press wrong place.

Tough Third

Standard

Mei-Shun’s favorite sumo wrestler came back toward 土俵 ring. He started rikishi career from 三段目, his current and 3rd-time rank experienced so far. Seriously injured left knee during last summer 名古屋場所, surgery, rehabilitation, 稽古 practice allowed his physical return. “Family, my stable master and mates, fans give me mental support”, the 31-year-old commented after his 3rd win today.

Lucky Lune

Standard

Lunar 2025 starts from today. Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun visited the nearest shrine for the first time on solar calendar, after driving Shin toward a station. It was around 6 : 30 yet a ceremony had already been set in the main building. Now what fortune would Gods give via omikuji lots? 吉=kichi, lucky with No. 34 and 16. The latter is all the same as the one he brought home 4 weeks before.

Time to Time

Standard

A weather forecaster told us this morning that sunrise delayed the most at 6 : 51 on January 13th, birthday of Mei-Shun. Sunset got the earliest at 16 : 28 on December 12th last year, he said. The shortest daytime comes on 冬至=toji, the 4th of winter 二十四節気 on December 21st; seems to include both of above, yet actually does not. Longer days makes it easier to start anyway.

Super Shining

Standard

Thanks a million, Professor M. He kindly sent Mei-Shun images of the last, round celestial beauty in 2024, called Cold Moon. She looked brilliant yesterday evening, when the latter got on Ms. Scarlet to pick Shin up at the nearest station. He came back from Kyoto, where a lot of good sweet shops are accommodated; many of them changed into ones specialized in rice cake this month.

Scarlet Summer

Standard

Yes, she finally came back to Mikan-chan, Shin and Mei-Shun. That is why they got on Ms. Moon together toward “Arles” on weekend; in order to replenish her empty petrol tank, dropping in the nearest shrine to greet Gods. Oh? They might have gone to 出雲 since a smaller torii gate at back entrance lacks “神” kanji character meaning them. Thanks a million anyway for giving above couple 大吉 and 吉 omikuji lots.
