Symbolic Silver

Standard

Mei-Shun visited Master Bando today instead of Tuesday, when was too torrid and windy to go outdoors after atypical Typhoon Lupit run through Japanese archipelago. It is 入り, the beginning of O-bon period, makes her feel a bit sorry to appear in person at home of anyone except for family. She therefore wrapped up small sweets while a 舞扇 given by Master Sensha years before.

Easy & Tasty

Standard

Have some of you 422 kind followers heard of 冴緑=sae-midori, clear-green tea? Mei-Shun has never, yet younger sister-in-law gave her samples including this breed introduced as long as 30 years before. She first took them as small-packed leaves, prepared a warmed pot to find tea bags. By the way, she decided to move above green in a vase toward air-conditioned room.

Sweet Souvenir

Standard

Shin went on a business trip to Hokkaido yesterday. Mei-Shun worried about him who had the second shot against the novel coronavirus on July 19th: he had high fever, then felt ever tired and sore in back for 2 weeks. A few recent days saw him better, yet whose attention easily wondered. It was after he arrived in Sapporo when she knew his destination to ask for her favorite.

Precious Place

Standard

A big acne on Mei-Shun’s chin, caused by face masks put on for a long time according to a doctor she rushed to, prevented her from a kabuki dance lesson by Master Bando last week. Today is therefore very important, since she has a previous appointment with Dr. A next Tuesday. Only twice to see that gentle lady in July, with boxes of summer gift to show gratitude of this 名取.

Bucket Backs

Standard

The eldest air conditioner started to weep indoors, shocked Shin and Mei-Shun on weekend. Sultry weather grills outdoor units, let the husband water one put on the eastern verandah. It worked well — how about two on the roof floor, one for above grandpa while another for the bedroom? The wife went up with this green pail bought years before. Oh, his teardrops stopped(^o^)/

Chocolat Collection

Standard

This is another souvenir of Shin who went on a business trip through Nagano, Yamanashi and Hokkaido. Mei-Shun loves both 六花亭=rokka-tei and Royce‘, two tops of pâtisserie roster in above northernmost prefecture. The husband had always chosen the former before the wife asked him to purchase chocolate-coated potato chips produced by the latter.

Browned Bowl

Standard

Meow, mom was shocked after breakfast when no water came from taps. I heard doorbell on the wall rang minutes before, yet she had to ignore it involved in teeth brushing. It was something related to water supply, wasn’t it? She rushed to the western window, found an elder couple who were honest enough to have informed her on their job — exchange of our water meter.

Cherish Cherry

Standard

Elder sister of Mei-Shun sent her boxes of season delicacy as usual. The latter is really a fruits lover like beloved father, especially above jewelry and peach. White-flesh melon, apple, kiwi and orange follow by a fine line while grape, strawberry and pineapple by a step. She admires their growers taking whom as brilliant artists or pâtissiers/pâtissières.

Criminal Call?

Standard

Mei-Shun received a message from a credit card company. Her phone fixed at home is ever set to reply by automatic voice, in order to avoid fraud. She therefore asked Shin later if someone contacted him regarding above matter. His answer was yes, with advice to call them back. As a result, her recent shopping via internet resembled a method of wrongdoers. A sigh of relief and gratitude!

Sapphire Saves

Standard

Mei-Shun meant to visit Master Bando today with a kimono in blue, cherry blossom patterns sewn by a friend of beloved Master Mei-Shu. However, iris one is available in current season only while the above all through the year in our country. She therefore wrapped the former into 小風呂敷=kofuroshiki a small, square piece of silk and changed 眼差しの貴婦人 to Ms. Blue, her engagement ring.
