Tea Tour

Standard

Mei-Shun is looking for tea shops where flavorsome green tea is available. Since the nearest and her favorite one was closed, she tried another nearby with lovely cats — yet their tea itself did not suit her palate. Gentle Shin knows it, brought home a bag from 静岡, our biggest prefecture in that agricultural product. Hmm, it seems to be processed by machines, not hands. That does not matter to deliciousness.

After 9Ys + 50Wks

Standard

Mei-Shun visited a hospital she stayed before above time, took CT/blood tests and saw Dr. A. “You seem to have no problem”, said the latter gentle lady. Well, the former patient would wait for your phone call of confirmation. Now, everything is over here today, shall she drop in a sushi restaurant nearby? Oh, it is closed on Tuesdays when she makes medical dates.

Recovery Rhythm

Standard

Mei-Shun enjoyed dancing with Mademoiselle Angel and Mr. White Mocha today. Actually her throat has been a bit weak from younger time, cold sometimes causes awful cough. She therefore turned to Dr. W, her home doctor after seeing Professor M on the same Monday last week. Prescription medicine by above lady gave 80% recuperation taking 10 days.

Gentle Greeting

Standard

And we would see the most beautiful 十五夜, meaning 小正月=January 15th on lunar calendar tonight. Called Snow Moon, she appeared low in eastern sky just when Mei-Shun got on Ms. Scarlet for shopping. The latter wished to take photos, yet the former lady floated above an electric cable — looked like being cut into slices. Please do not, even if she resembles a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Pads and Paws

Standard

Please kindly let Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun to show their highest appreciation for you gentle 525th follower here, along with 524 distinguished guests of course. Dance activity by the latter shifts from the one in kimono toward the other on horseies these days. Her songs including “Kanon” composed by Master J. Pachelbel flow more fluently on Ms. Piano.

Nice Number

Standard

… Mei-Shun means not on a scale but a locker at her 2nd horsey riding club. She normally prefers even figures; 2, 6, 8, 22 while has odd 1, 5, 13, 19 as birthdays of her family members. And the latter represent upper shelves here, quite convenient to store valuables, bags and clothes. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, “1” sounds like “the best” or “top” always difficult to achieve for her mom.

All Angel

Standard

… lessons Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun should have taken, yet gave them up. Slight rain from late last night gently moisturized our garden, while continued for too long a time to let them get on Ms. Scarlet. They therefore stayed home, sang “L’harmonie des Anges” composed by Master Burgmüller with Ms. Piano. Oh, such an opportunity taught her a little mistake in 2 serial notes.

Brilliant Beauty

Standard

Please take the warmest acknowledgement from Mei-Shun to Shin, Mikan-chan, mother, mom-in-law, sister Y and Professor M. She would try more in 2025, make herself worthy of your gentle hearts.

Kimonos and Kits

Standard

Yes, Mei-Shun’s elder sister Y loves them these days. M-chan, her daughter put on the same one at a coming-of-age ceremony as her mother and aunt did. Actually, it descended from youngest aunt of the latter sisters on their father’s side. Perhaps moved by such a story between a mother and a daughter, she gave them others. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, allergy still prevents younger sister and aunty from any.

Moon and Mars

Standard

Yes, 2024 has them only left on solar calendar. Mei-Shun feels fairly satisfied with her accomplishment, while it might seem quite petite to you kind 523 followers. It is not herself alone who made it: people of warm hearts gave grand support. Lovely, fluffy pals did as well. Followed by Mercury, Jupiter and Venus in coming 2025, she would spend these 2 days respectfully.
