@まーちゃん Good morning! Mar-chan Nice to meet you (hajime mashite). It’s ok!👌 Let’s have a nice time together(tanoshii toki o isho ni sugoshi mashou). Good day! with smile 😊
Hello 😉✨ This Dahlia Pinata is blooming beautifully and softly. It was named after the Spanish botanist Antonio Jode Cabanils. The color is a beautiful gradation of pale pink. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. On that day, when I was walking, I saw this lady beside the road. There were some. I picked her up and was with her for a while. I was happy to see this lady. with smile 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your smile message.☺️ Yes, I am a Japanese boy.🇯🇵👦👌 Oni-chang like Yuming's Confrails, in other words, I mean the song "Hikouki gumo". I love the both of Yumings ! ✈️☁️👩🎤👱♀️🥰✌️ By the way, GS's "Flower of the Day" is the chrysanthemum(クリさん🌰、すまん🙇). 🤭😄 Chrysanthemums have always been loved for their elegance, and the Japanese🇯🇵 have continued to refine them with scrupulous care.💛🌿🤔🤗👌 Hoitara-nette-ne. 👋👋👋
It's always a joy to come across beautiful flowers. I recently stopped by a flower shop for the first time in a while. I found some flowers that I wanted. Some were on sale, others were good for when the weather gets cooler, etc. I'm looking forward to seeing all kinds of flowers lined up in stores when the weather gets cooler. 🐰💗
@太陽の塔 Good morning!🌞 I saw your comment “Kurisan suman”😆what a good one! I laughed in the middle of the night in my bed. 😆 …I had some … when we started learning English, how to remember this word and write. We were in the same world with our age. …oh, I go back to my elementary time. How is this/‘handkerchief’/ handokacheef. Can you know this sense? … I will think about some about this. later~ Good day together! 😊
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good! Some people go to the flower shop and take pics. It’s very convenient and easy. Every one has his way to do. respect I hope your place will be cooler~ and have autumn 🍂 feeling sooner! Have a great day! with smile 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ I'm fine thank Yuming !😄👌 Oni-chang can know that sense.🤗 When I was younger in elementary school, I learned that "sense" was "先生(sensei)". 🤭😆 And I learned that "chrysanthemum" was just "mum", the pronunciation of "mum" is similar to "mom(mother)".🤔😁😆💛🤱 "ハンカチ(hankachi)" is an abbreviation of "handkerchief". It originates from European women holding the cloth, that called a "kerchief" to cover the head, in their hands.🧕🤗🖐️👍 So "hand" ＋ "kerchef" ＝ "handkerchef" , you know. 🙌👌 Katyusha(head band) has the same origin. Oni-chang wore a Miffy head band on July 28th, and I posted the photo to GS that day. 🐰😄🌞✌️ Hoitara-ne. 👋👋👋
Yes. First, when I go to a flower shop, I put the flowers that catch my eye👀 into my cart🛒 and then look around at the various flowers. I take pictures📱✨ of the flowers I want to grow, the flowers I want, and the flowers I can't grow. 🐰💗
@太陽の塔 Good morning! 🌞 How are you ? I have just read your comment,😁. That’s right When we started studying English, we were so hard to remember how to spell, right?! I started learning English when I was 6 years old. My father(a surgeon) hired a lady(teacher at school), almost every other day, she came to my bedroom and did tutoring(kobetsu shidou). I had a great time with her. I thanked to her. …backing to 1960’s. Thank you for listening.
How is your day? You are the active man! You will have a great day. And nice rest 😮😅😇
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ It’s good. Technically In Tokyo, I stopped by at the flower shop, there is a sign “no photo please”. It’s sad. Why? …🙄 Anyway I have no flower shop here. Good day today! 😊
It's a shame that there are signs saying "no photography allowed" at flower shops. On the contrary, the flower shops I go to have a positive advertising effect on the surrounding area, and in turn, help to get the shop known by many people. The growers are sometimes visible in the shop, but I come here to buy flowers, enjoy looking at them, and take pictures📱✨ of flowers that I can't grow. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ I understand what you said. When I was in Tokyo, I stopped by the one flower shop, there were wonderful flowers which I have not seen here… I would like to take a photos. … the sign says “NO PHOTO PLEASE”. 😅 That’s Tokyo. And also…how do you think ~ if you collect the flowers anyway. The most important is…We walk ~teku teku 🚶🏻♀️and can see the cute ones. Our hobby! Let’s have a good day together! with smile 😊
I think it's been around for quite some time, but if people browse books in bookstores, the bookstore doesn't have to buy them. It's not profitable, right? So now they wrap them in clear plastic so they can't be read. What do you think about photographing beautiful flowers? It seems like it would have some advertising effect, saying, "We have beautiful flowers in this store." But I wonder. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming so much for your advice. That's exactly right ! 😄👌 Oni-chang have CKD(Chronic Kidney Disease).😢 My doctor told me to be careful about consuming too much protein 🍖🙅♀️ and to drink plenty of water. 💧💦🙆♀️ 🎶Water Hon-mani-You-iwanwa ! 🎶 Hoitara-ne ! 👋👋👋
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. “Bookstore”…backing to 1970s, my favorite place was the library and bookstore. I read the Japanese novels everyday(1974-1982). If you like to talk about the novels ~ I will talk with you. We have a nice hobby. Not only eating! 😊
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ That’s right. It’s still ~ today?! They go to the bookstore. …’tachiyomi’? /not buying but reading books ~ *you know, I am an ‘Urashima no Taro Yumiko’. 😅I don’t remember ~ I wander how today’s bookstore is. My lovely bookstores are “Sanseido” “Kinokuniya”. When I go back to Japan, I always visit there and get my favorite ones! lovely in Japan 🇯🇵 We will have a good day together! with smile 😊
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. You know, oni~san, you need to take a rest a little bit. You had done the great one on Kansai-Expo. 👏 awesome You need thank to your partner to go anywhere anytime together. lovely Let her have a rest,too. I see your photos. lovely Have a great day! 😊
Good morning. ☺️✨ I haven't had a chance to read a book lately. I've been enjoying music 🦻🏻 and I've become interested in flowers, so I haven't been reading. I'm sorry 🙏🏻
Yumiko, you love books. Reading books helps you express your emotions more clearly and expands your vocabulary, so it's all good. I need to make time to read books. I haven't read one recently 😅💦
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your kindly advice ! 🙇🌞✌️ Yes, Oni-chang thank my partner to go anywhere anytime together.👫💦 And I will have a lots of water, I will put the votle of the water with little alcohol beside my tatami-bed.🛏️🥃😋👌 Hoitara-ne ! 🌃😪💤
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ It’s natural. Today~ they(we)watch in the screen 📺 or on device. Time has been changed. …when I was at high school, I was reading the novels under my desk😅 while at the class. …Matsumoto Seichou~ “Ten to sen”. Still I remember. Long time a go~ …almost 51 years ago. Time passes so fast 💨! 😊
I once bought a Seicho Matsumoto suspense drama that I saw on TV because I really liked it. However, I can't remember the title. It might have been either "Dot and Line" or "Zero Focus."🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good morning. Yes. I can hear cricket 🦗 at night. + …frog sounds(soon). I sleep with ear plugs, and have no problem to me. Let’s go for today and tomorrow! with smile 😊
It's the chirping of crickets. It could be the chirping of bell crickets, crickets, or grasshoppers. Please put in earplugs and get a good night's sleep 🐰💗
Yes, in the beginning, two-hour suspense dramas were often shown on TV. They haven't been shown much recently. A few years ago, "Kuroge no Techou" was also made into a TV show. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Oni-chang respect Yuming's opinion and thanks to you, everything is going well ! 😄🤗👌 We are going to "The Kobe City Koiso Memorial Museum of Art (神戸市立小磯記念美術館: Kobe ichiritsu Koiso kinen bijyutsu kan)" to see the Tsuguharu Fujita's passions (藤田嗣治の絵画🖼️) on the holiday tomorrow. 🚙💨🌅 So Oni-chang have to go to tatami-bed.🛏️🤭😴💤🌌⭐️ Hoitara-ne.👋👋👋
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ I know…😕it’s very difficult to sleep with cricket 🦗 outside. I always have earplugs. No problem. However, I can’t listen to the slight music 🎶 in my bed ~. (Shikatanashi) Everyday is good! 👌
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ I think…it is “Kurokawa no techou” by Matsumoto Seicho. I read this book in 1980, college period. And I watched this drama after that. It was great drama. Yamamoto Youko san … she acted great in the drama. Still ~ I remember How is your day? Nice day 😊
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. You sleep on the Tatami?! 😀 amazing! It’s ok for you. I mean~ to get up ⬆️. …One time I tried to sleep on the carpet with Futon set. … 1 year later, I had my knee problems. Today’s my bed is my best. It’s high from the floor. One person can sleep under my bed…like that. You know, our lives, 1/3 of the day(8 hours) we are in the bed. My bed is perfect.☺️ comfortable, with my favorite pillows, blanket… It’s like my life family. My point is we do best sleep everyday I thank to my partner. You thank to your wife. Life is good 👍 LG See U tomorrow 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) Yes. That's right. The title was somehow different. Matsumoto Seicho's "Black Leather Notebook" I think it's time to go to bed. Right now, I was watching the pole vault at the World Athletics Championships. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Good mornevening, Yuming !🌅🌃🤭 Of course, oni-chang don't sleep directly on the tatami mats. Oni-chan sleep on futons laid on tatami mats.😴 I would like to sleep under your bed, like dog house.🐶🛖🥰 Apparently Shohei Ohtani also sleep well with Dekoping.🐶⚾️ Getting enough sleep is crucial for athletes' performance.😴💪👌 By the way, A new world record of 6.30 meters was set in pole vault yesterday.🏟️🌌 He is Swedish🇸🇪 and his name is Duplantis.👏👏👏🎊🌞✌️💦 Hon-journey ! 🚙💨 So long. 😴👋👋👋
@太陽の塔 Thank you for s message.. (boutakatobi) …it was the great one. 6.30meters! I used be a runner(1971)~ /100m short distance race I had several new record In those days. (sorry too much show off). Every day is coming! happy We have a nice day together! with smile 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your message ! Yesterday, I went to watch the movie called "Kokuho(国宝)".🎞️🎥😄 Kokuho is national treasure, and as they push each other to reach the top as Kabuki actors, the film powerfully portrays their struggles, the clash between bloodline and talent.🌞✌️
@太陽の塔 “Kabuki”…my best from Junior High time. He still works at Dentsu(exsectiyev)today. He loves Kabuki, and other stage drama. We have been together for 54 years. Anyway, friendship is very important. When I ga back to Tokyo, he invites me and I invite my place. We have not seen … 40 years. 😄 Sonjya~ne! *Take care of yourself. Take a lots of water.
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your message about friend who loves Kabuki.👌 Oni-chang have to apologize to Yuming.🙇😢 I fell asleep while I was writing a message last night.😴💤📱🌌 Kabuki is a kind of music drama, not unlike Western opera. Kabuki has the tradition of male actors playing female roles.The makeup indicates the type of character being portrayed.👨→👩🦰👘 The main character in Yesterday's movie looked more feminine than the original woman.🤭🥰 The Kabuki performances(演目: Enmoku) in the movie are as follows: ①関の扉(Seki no To) ②連獅子(Ren-jishi) ③二人藤娘(Futari Fuji-musume) ④二人道成寺(Futari Doujyo-ji) ⑤曽根崎心中(Sonezaki Shinjyu) ⑥鷺娘(Sagi Musume) Hoitara-journey. ✈️👋👋👋
@太陽の塔 OMG! You are such an educated person! #5(Sonezaki~), I know that. What are you going today? Not to work hard ~ 👌 Everyday is coming. Let’s enjoy our lives. I’m enjoying ~ with our happiness! with smile 😊
