The hina dolls

Hi, everyone!

Plum, thank you for your detailed guidance of Bleak house. It seems complicated for me, but I think it must be an exciting story.

Alice, thank you for your help to learn easily. Your quick response always makes us happy.

This afternoon I put away the hina dolls, a pair of Emperor and Empress. When I was a young girl, my mother told me that daughters ended up unmarried unless their parents put the dolls away as soon as possible. Now it may be a superstition, and in some region people display it until the end of March.

So, see you later. Good night.

Dear Peach,
How are you?
Are you not sick? Or are you?
I am a little bit worried about you…

Hi, ladies!!!
It has been another warm day today, hasn’t it?

I don’t know whether I told you this before or not…
After I came back from Hunter Valley near Sydney last August, I got to like drinking wine. I especially like German wine and sometimes drink it before I go to bed, occasionally with my husband. Maybe, two weeks ago, on Saturday, I bought a carton of mango juice, and put some in my wine, and I thought it was so tasty. I was alone watching television in the lounge while my husband was doing something in his room upstairs. I don’t remember how many glasses of wine I drank, but anyway eventually I went up to sleep.

I had a dream that I was cooking Chinese cabbage soup and curry sauce during my sleep. In the morning I got up and went down to the kitchen, I saw Chinese cabbage soup and curry sauce cooked in the pans. Amazing, isn’t it? I just could not believe my eyes. I didn’t remember anything about my cooking, but here they were just as appeared in my dream. Sort of scary, isn’t it?

Probably I got so drunk and made these without being conscious of what I was doing. Beside, onions and carrots were cooked but they were not cut properly. In the curry sauce, two whole onions were cooked without being cut. My husband came down and saw the soup and sauce, and can you guess what he said? He said that I was getting senile… Is it one of the symptoms of dementia?

I had never got drunk until this incident, and since then I have been trying to reduce the amount of wine I take, and, of course, never put mango juice in it.

Talk to you again tomorrow, my lovely friends. Good night…

Hi, everyone.

Plum, thank you for your information about Bleak House. It is a labor or a pain, isn't it.

Juice and wine, you can't stop it. a kind of screw driver(vodka and juice). It used to be used to make ladies drunken without knowing they are intoxicated. Dangerous!
