Mikan-chan’s mom rushed back to the farmhouse. It looked holding a festival. Swimming her way through the crowd, she reached a grocer’s shop and asked a clerk if they had kept a brown purse cats drawn on. “Ah, let me see,” he smiled and whispered a few words to a little girl sitting at the counter. “Here you are,” she opened both hands.

Such an honesty could fall on you in this country, even if you are the most careless person.

Tired to Return

Standard

Joban Line was troubled yesterday by a collision between a car and a train around 18:00. All trains stopped at the nearest stations, the one Mei-Shun used at Toride. The accident occurred beyond Tsuchiura, so she managed to reach her destination. After leaving train station, she found her car “blocked” by another car. The driver said that the engine suddenly stopped. Mei-Shun tried to get out of the parking, yet had to give up soon — it was too difficult for her. Then a middle-aged man kindly helped us, pushing the broken car while instructing Mei-Shun how to turn the steering wheel. Thanks a lot, she made it.

“As usual” sounds the most wonderful to Mei-Shun. Dr. A said that her condition is well. Gingko trees around the hospital parking space looked shining in gold to her eyes, as our cymbidium does at home — oh, our gingko in the backyard finally began to turn to the same color.

It seems one of great joys allowed only to grown-ups: we enjoyed chatting on Japanese sweets sent from Mei-Shun’s mother after dinner, late at night. Such a style of eating is awful for a good diet? Ah-ha. You are exactly right. Green tea could give damage to a sound sleep? Well, we know they say so. We would see anybody who could be good to us as Jessie, Ariana and Nicki do.

Nothing serious as usual. Thank you so much, Dr. A. Autumn steps little by little into the hospital garden. The pond in front of the entrance has been nicely cleaned. Mei-Shun is not sure since when, yet the princess has not been seen these days. Did she truly exist? Or was that beautiful creature a messenger, as Shin says?
