In the case of a medium-sized dog, in terms of human age, that's about 80 years old. And if a dog's life is compared to the four seasons, it is almost time to enter the winter period.
However, there is no need to think of it pessimistically. Because, winter is the most comfortable season for Hug, who is resistant to cold👍🏻🐶💙
Also, with Nico coming to our pack, Hug seems to have found new purpose in her job as an “educator'', and was able to survive the difficult summer in a healthy manner. Ahhh, Hug! You are truly amazing💕 (And THANKS, Nico!!💕)
I always wish her health and happiness.
Dear Tumblr’s friends.
Hug is always grateful for your kind messages and daily support✨🐶✨🐾🐾
I often poke holes in my clothes or spill something on them.
Especially when I work in the fields, I work on my knees and the fabric gets thin. That's when I came across the repair marks on the clothes I bought at a thrift store. Since then, I have been happy when I find damage on clothes.
In preparation for the December 6 alteration order, I am working on a brooch that will serve as a reference for the alterations. I am also available for consultations on tailoring to badges and from clothes to bags. See you soon.
The infamous "Mitsuhide hitting/kicking incident", as recorded by Luis Frois
This is taken from the Japanese translation of Luis Frois's Historia, which has been criticised for unfortunately containing mistranslated texts in various parts (examples included inserting arbitrary Japanese words when Frois originally recorded no Japanese words, and inserting arbitrary colour descriptors that wasn't in the original).
I don't know if the translation has been revised since, so this account might be somewhat flawed if it was taken from the old version, but for the time being this is what I have.
信長は…その権力と地位をいっそう誇示すべく、三河の国王(徳川家康)と、甲斐国の主将たちのために饗宴を催すことに決め、その盛大な招宴の接待役を彼(光秀)に下命した。これらの催し事の準備について、信長はある密室において明智と語っていたが、元来、逆上しやすく、自らの命令に対して反対(意見)を言われることに堪えられない性質であったので、人々が語るところによれば、彼(信長)の好みに合わぬ要件で、明智が言葉を返すと、信長は立ち上がり、怒りをこめ、一度か二度、明智を足蹴にしたということである。だが、それは秘かになされたことであり、二人だけの間での出来事だったので、後々まで民衆の噂に残ることはなかったが、あるいはこのことから明智は何らかの根拠を作ろうと欲したのかも知れぬし、あるいは[おそらくこの方がより確実だと思われるが]、その過度の利欲と野心が募り、ついにはそれが天下の主になることを彼(光秀)に望ませるまでになったのかもわからない。(ともかく)彼はそれを胸中深く秘めながら、企てた陰謀を果す適当な時機をひたすら窺っていたのである。
Nobunaga… in order to further display his power and position, decided to hold a feast for the king of Mikawa (Tokugawa Ieyasu) and the generals of Kai Province, and the role of the host was tasked to him (Mitsuhide).
Nobunaga had a discussion with Akechi in a private room about the preparations for these events, but being someone who was by nature easily offended and could not bear to be spoken against, people say that when Akechi replied to him (Nobunaga) with things not to his liking, Nobunaga stood up and kicked Akechi once or twice in anger.
However, this incident was private, where only the two of them bore witness to it, and it didn't become a publicly known rumour until later. Perhaps Akechi wanted to establish justification from this, or [perhaps more reasonably], his excessive greed and ambition rose, such that it finally led him [Mitsuhide] to desire to become the master of the land.
(Anyway), he kept this deep in his heart, waiting for the right moment to carry out his plot.
(the quoted passage taken from this article)
Luis Frois pretty clearly did not like Mitsuhide, maybe because Nobunaga's death robbed the Europeans of the security that they had under his reign. In his letters and Historia, Frois repeatedly describes Mitsuhide as cunning, and that all his well-seeming actions were only to cover up his treacherous intentions.
That being said, this is one of the very few actually contemporary accounts of such an incident happening. The story that was frequently seen in dramas and movies, that Mitsuhide got beat up due to accidentally serving rotten food to Ieyasu, was from the Ehon Taikouki that was created in the Edo period. This narrative might have been an exaggerated version from the account in the Kawasumi Taikouki (itself already a rather late date account), where Mitsuhide was dismissed because of the rotten food, but was not beat up.
Because the incident of Mitsuhide being beat up by Nobunaga—or by another vassal under Nobunaga's orders— cannot be found in contemporary and reliable accounts, various researchers have considered that story to be dubious.
If there really was an incident where Mitsuhide was hit, then it might have happened at another occasion and not during Ieyasu's visit to Azuchi.
*Tasmania Day 1 Tonight the theater was so small and the sound was the best ever 👌💕
I felt like I was at his house listening live without a mic…
It was worth coming all the way to Tasmania. He really is the best performer

See you in Tokyo!
Helllooooooo!! And so it begins, Op4 lyrics time. Thanks as always to @alphardofthealley for scans of the lyrics booklet. <3
This one's a very soft and very cute song for John and Sherlock. I absolutely LOVED the roof scene in the manga, and I believe this song managed to double/triple/quadruple just how soft this scene is. Enjoy!!
Under this blue sky

Sherlock: Please. What are you saying, John? I’ve always thought highly of you.
John: Really, Sherlock?
I had always been alone
And when you came along, solving mysteries became a lot more fun
I realized how fun it is having a partner on my side
A partner I can work well with, I’m glad that partner is you
Which is why I feel a bit sad knowing that you’re leaving
Still, that’s not enough reason to ask you to stay
If I do (ask you to stay), I’d be “dependent” on you, or maybe I’d be “taking control” of you
I finally understand why I tried to probe Mary, and even tested her
And that’s because I just want you to be happy
Ah Yes, this feeling...
It must be “friendship”
“Friendship” “Friendship”... Who would have thought the day would come when I’d hear that from your lips?
And to think you’d think that about me... I’m so happy I could scream!
John: Sherlock!
Sherlock: Wha! Idiot! Don’t just suddenly hug me!
John: Come on. It’s fine, right?
Sherlock: It’s weird. Let go of me!
John: But, don’t get the wrong idea, Sherlock.
Even if I get married, I won’t stop being your partner
Because solving cases with you is my life’s purpose!
That’s a promise, John.
If you think my friendship is true, know that regardless of what happens from now on
Just go and grab onto your happiness
Because what makes you happy makes me happy.
Yes, I promise. I swear this oath to you, under this blue sky
Under this blue sky, I swear to you
Under this blue sky, I swear to you
John: Let’s make sure everything goes well tomorrow!
Sherlock: Yeah. Let’s do that.
Notes: There's no mention of blue skies, but the weather was shown to be super nice on stage, so I thought I should capture that. I LOVE THIS SCENE.
I am so fed up with this summer heat☀️🥵🔥But according to the long-term weather forecast, the extremely hot days will still continue for a while… ahhh, What the heck!!!
Nico is the only one in our pack who is always in good spirits✨🐶✨Awww… it's wonderful to be young!!����🐾
