After 9Ys + 24Wks

Standard

Well, it is for today that Mei-Shun practiced to drive Ms. Moon on weekend. The hospital Dr. A works at is quite nearby, taking 15 minutes from home. By the way, one of her favorite bakeries on the way to there was closed: their regular day off is Mondays, while a notice was found on a shutter taken down. All right, she would treat herself to those delicacies next time.

East to West

Standard

Shin visited 一ノ関 last week, brought home a lovely little pear made of 久慈琥珀. On the other hand, one of his clients living in Tottori Prefecture kindly sent a box of those real fruits. Mei-Shun loves both of them; the former is for the wife to put on, the latter 新甘泉 above couple enjoy in each mouth. The husband never forgets souvenirs, with sweets on the top of his list.

Splendid Sumo

Mei-Shun read that her favorite rikishi, seriously injured in a July bout, had a successful operation. Another article featured his close friend, opponent on that day received a message saying “don’t worry about me, it happened only on 土俵 ring”. Your family including 富山 supporters, stable master and brothers, colleagues, fans are all ready to welcome you back, Mr. Nice Guy.

Cheerful Cicada

Standard

Mei-Shun enjoys their chorus at horsey riding clubs both in Tsukuba and 龍ヶ崎, while not so much around home. More of them come out of the ground every 7 years she heard, 2024 might be between peaks. Do you like it, Mr. MATSURI? He might be her best partner to dance right now. After briefly grooming him, she looked up to meet a 6th crescent in light pink above woods.

Shining Ship

Standard

They say rainy season has gone from Kanto area. Mei-Shun is wondering if it really has, because a slight shower made a lot of dots on futon mats she hung outdoors this morning. Cicadas began to sing anyway, one of whose baby clothes was found at her horsey riding club yesterday. It might foretell that she would be able to dance for the first time of the week with Mr. Loki.

Rain Returned

Standard

… from yesterday in Kanto area. Mei-Shun, accompanied by sweet Mikan-chan, enjoyed horsey riding today as well, in 龍ヶ崎 morning lesson specifically with Mr. Danone Caesar. Slight shower falls on them, stops for a while to start over and over. By the way, it is lunar June 6th, Shin’s birthday. His wife would like to serve good meals, full of summer vegetables.

XL-L

Standard

Shin puts on sweats with long sleeves on his days off, while normal shirts on business even in midsummer. It had therefore been a bit difficult for Mei-Shun to find such clothes at stores, yet online shopping is available these days. She recently received his short sleeve T-shirts; they would become her horsey riding “jackets”, big enough to work as a handkerchief.

Another Advantage

Standard

Here Mei-Shun keeps lovely bags of rice cracker. These sparrows came from Osaka where Shin visited on business — 2 weeks have already passed since he brought them home. Compared to sweets from 能登 and 名古屋, they taste best for longer until August. And they are able to work as our staple food, simply mentioned by name. Now which would she choose tonight?

Cheer Up のと: 1

水無月=minazuki, meaning current month, calls one of Shin and Mei-Shun’s favorite sweets. Kyoto people enjoy it on June 30th to celebrate safe half an year. Above couple, earnest buff of our ancient capital, followed this custom for a decade. However, the husband brought home the other day a lot of souvenir from 能登 — suffering from a serious earthquake on New Year’s Day.
