Professor M kindly gave Mei-Shun a box of local sweets. They were served for her tea time with Shin after 22 : 22. It is really nice to be adult, isn’t it? The husband ranks tart balls in the 2nd line from the right on the top, while the wife walnut ones from the left. Pistachio marzipans and square pies followed them respectively. And pine nuts are the same 3rd.
…or scent of an ancient capital. Mei-Shun found a shop of 松榮堂=sho-ei-do, her favorite incense company in Kyoto. And it was Kaori-san who gave a cute sachet made by them before her friend from high school days had an operation. On the other hand, her first name means “fragrance” in our mother tongue. Such an attractive item might connect these 2 women giving them power to survive.
Shin has reserved sea-view seats of shinkansen bullet train to Kyoto so far. This time let him keep ones to see great mountains including 伊吹山=Ibuki Yama. It has never been seen by the wife, made her almost shocked at its white brilliance covered with snow. Mt. Fuji is the highest in our country, eye candy of everybody. However, if another suddenly appears beyond green hills, which would you prefer?
Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun visited Kyoto on weekend. Kaori-san, one of the best friends of the wife, holds an exhibition at “Merry-go-round” from recent birthday of the latter. Among works featuring many lovely girls, a new character caught her eyes — she just looks like Mademoiselle Angel. You are able to fly with silver, long hair spread like wings, aren’t you?
What do you kind 509 followers think is the happiest for Mei-Shun as to recent trip? Well, she really enjoyed packing, drive to the airport and a short stay there, flight, sumo of course, good meals including sake made in 福岡, home place of her beloved father. However, the best was to come home with Shin and Mikan-chan together. Or precisely the flight back to Tokyo since he headed to the office.
During every basho held 6 times per year, sumo wrestlers belong to 序ノ口, 序二段, 三段目 and 幕下 have 7 bouts. They starts from around 9 : 00 to let the highest 幕内 finish until 18 : 00. That is why the venue opens at 8 : 30. “We would come one day before next time”, Shin told Mei-Shun. “…then all shops and matches are available”. She feels pleased to see him satisfied.
Lunar October starts from today. Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun returned from 福岡 — it was their 1st experience to enjoy sumo in person, while on 初日=the 1st of this 15-day tournament. All different from one seen on TV, wrestlers and 行司 referees in kimono looked like pretty dolls. It might be thanks to nice distance toward 土俵 ring and lighting.
Thanks a million, 二所ノ関部屋. They sent Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun a 番付表 of 九州場所 starts from coming Sunday with them in person. It rains from midnight, stormy wind continued until noon. Tokyo recorded historic 3rd 夏日 in November yesterday, might have 4th today. On the contrary, they say next rainfall on Friday would bring cold air — the wife might put on a coat on kimono.
Shin, Mei-Shun and Mikan-chan got up at 4 : 00 this morning. Night stars were brilliant in dark sky, waiting for sunrise a few minutes before 6 : 00 to fade out. The husband had to arrive at Haneda Airport to board the 1st plane for Hiroshima. On the other hand, the wife and her fluffy daughter at usual horsey riding club in the afternoon. It is quite hotter than yesterday, isn’t it?
Mei-Shun went to a hair salon nearby Tokyo Station yesterday. Blue sky nicely accommodated her friend views through train windows; Ushiku Pond, a cup noodle maker’s factory and Skytree. Mikan-chan, thanks a trillion for accompanying mom. You see, she plans to visit another shop tomorrow. Both of her home beauticians give hair care in a week, thanks to dad.
