Not Yet Smart

Standard

Mei-Shun’s “Gara-K”, meaning in current Japanese a cellphone stopped evolving in Galapagos, has once frozen lately. Shin worried about losing communication with her, so she decided to change it into a smart phone. It is twice as big as her previous device, and oh, almost empty in application — needs a lot of care to make it really smart.

Grown Seaweed!

Standard

This is Mikan-chan’s fountain. Taking three months to get used to, she is quite satisfied with it these days. A motor which makes water flow, set within the pool, has not been easy to clean. Shin recently gave a good hint; drop surfactant on it, then restart. What a shocking sight — wakame-like dirt comes out of the motor one after another …

Keep me clean.

Keep me clean.

Punishment?

Standard

Suddenly, a big noise hit our ears. And understood in a second — laundry has been blown down. Today’s gust comes from Typhoon Choi-Wan, traveling on the Pacific Ocean to reach Hokkaido soon. Mei-Shun loves hanging futon mats and laundry outside to dry in sunlight, even with 50% or more percentage of rainfall. All the more on clearer, windy days. She deserves it.

Disturbing Rash

Standard

They suddenly assaulted Mei-Shun’s palms. Shockingly ugly and incredibly itchy — it was Shin who saved her from panicking. He drove her to see a doctor in charge of holiday treatment yesterday, taking half an hour. At a glance, Dr. Y diagnosed that it was a symptom of dyshidrosis, prescribing steroidal ointment and an internal antipruritic medicine for a week. Oh, such a disturbance to see horses … it seems that Mei-Shun perspired too much within gloves on them.

Shocking, but …

Standard

Master Mei-Shu kindly showed her Suisen-Tanzen performance of 23 years ago, commemorating Kikunoe-Ryu foundation. It was just excellent. Actually too brilliant for Mei-Shun to do the same. She found that the spear in her left hand must have looked almost sleeping so far. Such item symbolizes what the role has in mind. From now, her challenge to wake it up starts. Thank you so much, Master.

Well … come

Standard

Our avocado has a friend. It was first in the size of one’s finger nail, while has grown almost ten times as big as just a few days before. It kept this camouflage as a stalk among leaves even when watered. Amazing power of nature.

Good disguise

Severe Life

Standard

We heard Tora-chan’s voice in the morning. Rushed outdoors, we found her looking exhausted and scared. However, Mei-Shun was too slow to feed her who ran away from our garden in a second. Oh, such a cold nature … she might have lost in a territory fight. However, if we protect her to see Dr. O, it would mean to deprive her of the right and freedom she had won so far.

Wink!

Wink!

What’s the matter?

Standard

Our of the blue, Mikan-chan made mom’s bed her restroom. Honey, you must explain this. It rains today. Mom has no place to sleep on. Do you want her to catch a cold? … hey, where are you?

Dear Kiwi Lovers

Standard

Please be careful. Mei-Shun suddenly suffered an allergy with it. After eating one, she felt a bit itchy around the mouth, looked in the mirror. Three red rashes were found! It is so shocking for her, a fruit lover. A steroidal medicine worked well, yet she has to refrain from that lovely, tasty darling for a while.

Batty Return

Standard

When Mei-Shun closed a shutter at night, something small and alive (!) touched her hand — a real surprise. As she drew back screaming, a familiar shape flew inside. Ah. Hi again, bat, asleep in the case? Sorry to interrupt you.
