The other and last box of above fruit included 3 breeds; Shining Muscat, 信濃 Smile and Alisa. The second one was arranged to celebrate the 18th Olympic Winter Games held in Nagano Prefecture, while the third above might be named after a friend of Mr. I. It is Mei-Shun who juxtaposed this green, edible jewelry and souvenirs from Fukuoka via sweet Shin. Oh, 梅ヶ枝餅 reminds her of childhood.
thank U
吉 Kissing
StandardMeow, mom chose the latter yesterday. She walked lively to the nearest shrine to draw an omikuji lot for herself, who tends to do it again if no good luck with 凶=kyo, the worst or 半吉=han-kichi, half luck or 末吉=sue-kichi, the least lucky. On the way to there, some of rice paddies ripe ears still left welcomed her. Now I have to ask Gods to grant her nice one, purr.

Great Grapes: 3
StandardThe other box of above fruit arrived at happy hands of Mei-Shun last night. She actually had a slight cold, staying home all day long. It therefore seemed like a get-well gift from Shin via Master I. Yes, thanks to it, she recovered toward 80% of normal condition today. Fever has gone, let her vacuum rooms in the morning. After lunch, which is better to go to nearby ENT clinic, or to walk to the nearest shrine?
Great Grapes: 2
StandardHere is 紅環=beni-tamaki, whose pretty looking and sweetness moved Mei-Shun so much — delicacies come not only from kitchens but farmland. She is a fruit lover like her beloved father, while sweets are quite liked by mother’s side as well. Why does she continue to talk about dessert? It is because she deserves it tonight by labor indoors and dance outdoors.
Great Grapes: 1
StandardShin gave Mei-Shun a wonderful dessert; brilliant, edible jewelry of titled fruit. Grown by Mr. I called “master”, a box of Shining Muscat, 巨峰=kyoho and 紅環=beni-tamaki delivered last night. The wife loves green ones like the 1st, maybe descends from Alexandria via Rosário. Black ones like the 2nd is quite normal, yet all different from the same breed sold at supermarkets.
Reverent Regards
StandardYuko-san, one of Mei-Shun’s best friends since high school, kindly sent the latter a brilliant gift. Preserved roses greeting from a tiny white piano are in a transparent box. Here is your little sister, Ms. Piano. Now you are full of pink items including her, a face-cloth used as Mikan-chan’s cushion on Ms. Scarlet, dried roses for Shin and a big cotton scarf from Professor M.
Another Aroma
StandardMei-Shun enjoyed another bottle of German beer on Saturday. Their menu explains Master Goethe liked this dark, sweet one. It matches assorted cheese, fruits and vegetables rather than meat plates (just her impression of course(^^). By the way Shin, who nicely drove her to above restaurant, flew to China for business taking at least 2 weeks after 10-day quarantine.
Light Flight
StandardMeow, do you kind 479 followers believe UFO? Mom seems to do and dad as well. She takes it pretty normal, since we are too tiny in the universe to reject such an idea. However, they have never seen any in the sky — is this therefore the first time for him? When she received above image from Thailand, I thought he finally made it. “Ah, it is just a room lamp”, was his answer.

Try Twice
StandardOh? A letter to Mei-Shun arrived, from Spanish examination secretariat. She gave up taking it in June when rainy season said to have already gone. It was too torrid to go outdoors, or seemed even dangerous to get on a train bound for Tokyo. What would have come if any accident occur, stopped air conditioning? Ah, that is why above paper has blanks in score and result.
Japanese Culture@holiday
StandardShin, mom-in-law and Mei-Shun visited a restaurant serving grilled eels. This delicacy is popular on summer 丑の日=Day of the Ox during 土用=doyo. Yet oh, it starts from tomorrow to continue until one day before 立秋=risshu, the 1st of autumnal 二十四節気. They therefore went too soon for a week, how nice a mistake! A big egg roll would also help them to keep lively.
