Shin never forgets to bring home souvenirs for Mei-Shun when he goes on a business trip. Above is from our ancient capital city, expecting colorful foliage soon. After breakfast, the wife tried 2 tea flavours; apple in red, Earl Grey in bright orange. Oh, she must hurry, her clock is ticking. A hair salon nearby the station named after our current metropolis is waiting.

Craved Capital
StandardTokyo, I and mom mean. Since an accident prevented us from visiting a hair salon last week, we were worried about similar occurrences caused by Typhoon Shanshan this time. Although it made landfall in Kagoshima, Kyushu in the morning, we had no rainfall when got on Ms. Scarlet before 13 : 00. Oh, it is rare to see a freight train at our nearest station, long like my tail.

Shrine Sakura
StandardShin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun drove to 加波山神社 on weekend. It was the 1st time for them to visit there, meant to make their 2nd 雨引観音 tour. The former is located on the way to the latter; the husband asked the wife if they try or not. She chose a kind of challenge, reached another attractive place. Two pairs of 狛犬 welcomed, while let them know a mountain trail starts from here.
Capital Cities
StandardTyphoon Ampil is jogging toward north along eastern coast of Kanto area. Weather forecasts warn us of severe storm, let Mikan-chan, Mei-Shun and mom-in-law shut themselves up at home. On the contrary, Shin went out by Ms. Moon for Tokyo office. Please do not worry about him, the kindest 518 followers. He is one of the best drivers in our country. By the way, Friday end of obon holidays would make Kyoto crowded with 五山送り火 sightseers.
Here and There
Standard… they goes. Mei-Shun means that Shin, niece M-chan and Professor M all visit Taiwan this summer; guys on business, student for a workshop. On the contrary, she almost stays home while sometimes goes out on Ms. Scarlet accompanied by Mikan-chan. With 立秋=risshu, the 1st of autumnal 二十四節気 today, such a chance arrived to see Dr. W before conveying get-well wishes to Mr. Danone Caesar at 龍ヶ崎 club.
Taipei Tabby
StandardSolar August starts, lunar July from Sunday, purr. Mom e-mailed grandma staying in 草津 this morning to celebrate birthday of the latter — the nicest gift by beloved grandpa, they always say. Dad flew to Taiwan on business yesterday, sent us photos including above. “Please do not disturb, we are at rest”? I understand well, friends outdoors with harness.

Joy of Gion
Standard前祭=former 祇園祭 holds 山鉾巡行 today. Shin left Haneda Airport on 9 : 40, Mei-Shun is checking his flight to Frankfurt via PC at home. They would like to visit Kyoto — especially 後祭=latter celebration to see 大船鉾. However, Wednesday means 宵々々山 or one more “々” on weekend … oh? Amazing online shopping is available for its 粽? That is fine, she would contact them.
Tabby Tail
StandardMei-Shun washed a yukata to put on after bath. It came from 浜松 she visited with Shin decades before. They stayed at a hotel featuring music, since above city accommodates a famous maker of musical instruments including piano of course. Full of scores and notes, it served well until getting 半襟 collar worn out. Mom-in-law kindly sewed it up using a 手拭 towel.
Cheer Up のと: 2
StandardToday is the deadline to order 水無月=minazuki from たねや this year. Well, Shin and Mei-Shun have consumed just 1 of 3 boxes he purchased at 能登里山 Airport last week. They visited that city twice, love halcyon atmosphere there and beautiful sight fairly balanced between the sea and rice paddy. With their petite contribution, rapid recovery is cordially wished.
Fascinating Flight
StandardThanks a million, Shin. He returned home on weekend to give Mei-Shun a box of caramels made in Switzerland — his latest destination for business was Vietnam. The latter seems to love durian; that thorny fruit as big as watermelon, whose tastiness is shared by above husband. However, the wife hesitates even to open a package of local sweets containing it.
