Alone Again

Standard

Meow, mom practices 松の緑 at home these days. I feel happier when she stays with me longer, while a bit tired if she gives too much attention. It is to take the best care of yourself that is the most important: your mental/physical health is the same to mine. So please do not hesitate to dance, play Ms. Piano, take a nap in your bedroom or sometimes go out.

Conspicuous Child

Standard

Ms. Piano, when Mei-Shun opens your lid for practice, beloved father sounds like saying welcome back. It was he who recommended you to his younger daughter at the age of 5. She used to play outdoors almost every day, all day long. Many children around her took lessons in 書道=shodo, Japanese calligraphy or そろばん=soroban, abacus calculation as after-kindergarten activities.

Height and Weight

Standard

Mei-Shun visited a clinic just next to her home dentist. She is insured by Shin for annual health check, recommended to people of 40 years or older. So this is her month of seeing various doctors; dentist of course, dermatologist, physician, Dr. A and veterinarian. They prefer her left arm to take blood sample, used the same place to result in a tiny bruise with a slight pain.

小望月

Standard

When a potent quake assaulted Shin and Mei-Shun, the wife took it happened early in this morning. She rushed toward Mikan-chan with a torch in hand, found her fluffy baby curled sleeping in an igloo-shape bed. So sorry for interrupting you. Oh, moving onto the sofa? Although we are in all dark, your coat would work well instead of an air conditioner. The husband kindly turned it on in a few hours.

Sakura by Shin

Standard

Amazing 3 months have passed since Mei-Shun visited a hair salon nearby Tokyo Station at the end of last year. She makes it a rule to have a cut and treatment there, while dyeing at another 5-minute walk from home. However, the latter sometimes works as her bangs maker. Oh, this word is related to horsey tails? She was a girl often with a ponytail decades before.

Spring Scent

Standard

Mother recently sent Mei-Shun several images of flowers newly bloomed in her garden. Above is 馬酔木=asebi, Japanese andromeda given by mom-in-law. The latter grew a gorgeous tree at previous home where Shin lived until marriage, yet did not move it toward her current place. Now one of its children is cared enough like her daughter-in-law.

Cherry Confectionery

Standard

It is Mei-Shun’s great pleasure to let you kind 460-1 followers know that she saw the best numbers on a scale following dance with Ms. Bunny Girl. And it is also after marriage: for as long as 28 years she has put on many sugar bags all through her body, especially around waist. It might be thanks to recent pressure — apart from detailed story, it sometimes helps her to gain stronger mind while lose weight.

Flavored Flower

Standard

Mei-Shun finally ate up above bag of 金平糖=konpeito, sugar plums or confeito in Portuguese. It was brought home by Shin from Nagasaki months before, while too cute to go at once into mouth of his wife. She put it on a dining table to let her eyes pleased, waited until they say thanks and enough. Shaped like a little hydrangea; violet stars are grape, blue cider, green melon.

Saint Sweets

Standard

Here we are on Chocolate Day — or precisely, St. Valentine’s Day. Mei-Shun gave Shin once-an-year delicacies of course, from one of his/her favorite makers. She also ordered various products including tiny trial bags of orange peels coated with dark chocolate, found them amazingly delicious. And Professor M would kindly visit her tonight for his regular chocolate liqueurs.

Hale & Hearty

Standard

Mademoiselle Vert is growing in a flower stem again. On the other hand, Princess Cymby has grass buds only while 2 in bigger pot and 1 in smaller. Well, it might be too much for Mei-Shun to wish both petals in pale green and bright yellow. Anyway, she is really happy to know that all three are kept healthy. May those who gave them to her also be fit.
