  • Autumn in Aoyama

    Winter is coming to the Kanto Plain, but 2019 still has a final flourish of beauty before the bleakness. A stroll around the Aoyama/Omotesando areas produced some late-autumn gems. Autumn 2019 has been a mixed bag in terms of weather. Terrible typhoons wreaked havoc on many areas in the Kanto region, but there have also been many delightfully sunny days. Kogarashi ichigo is the term used to describe the first north wind exceeding 32 kmph in a season and is a general indicator for the onset of winter. Winds have picked up this week, but not enough to qualify as the harbinger of winter.

  • Isle Idyll

    On our sole shared, obligation-free holiday over the 2025 new year period, Mrs. Kangaeroo and I headed off for a day out to a nearby island. We headed to Enoshima, a short trip from our home and site of the sailing competitions for the 1964 and 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. One intention was to pay a new year’s shrine visit, which is a customary Japanese tradition. Another was to enjoy the ocean. My new year hadn’t been the greatest. On Boxing Day, I bent over to pat Oreo, a neighborhood border collie, and my back went on me. It remains fiercely painful now. And my foot that has been niggling…

    「やばいリンガル」 Thongs

    　今、オーストラリアは真夏に向かっているので、町の中では多くのオージーがthong姿を見せてくれるようになる。しかし、それを他の英語圏の人に言ったら、彼らは顔を赤らめるだろう。何でだろう？オーストラリアでのThong姿は、全然恥ずかしくないのに。 It’s approaching midsummer in Australia and many Aussies would now be getting about in thongs. Tell that to someone from another English-speaking country and they may assume it would be a time for red faces. Why thongs? And why so embarrassing?

  • Well, At Least We Found Out

    Kangaeroo’s housing estate has recently been afflicted with a spate of bicycle thefts and vandalizations. As an avid cyclist, this hit Kangaeroo hard. Mrs. Kangaeroo’s winter gloves were stolen, forcing her to head out into the freezing cold winter morning with her hands unprotected from the elements. Kangaeroo’s spare road bike and the death machine were also vandalized and various equipment and accessories were stolen. Enraged, Kangaeroo headed to the police to report the issue, even if only to be able to received formal notification to enable making an insurance claim. Astonishingly, instead of largely ignoring a bicycle-related theft issue, as is customary among police in Japan, the officer was…

    豪キャブラリー： Shonky

    Shonkyは、いい加減に作られたものを示す言葉だ。大体の場合、あわてて組み立てたものに対してオージー英語で使われているので、響きだけで悪そうに聞こえる。Shonkyのものはあまり信用できない、、、、というか、全く信用できないと言ったほうがいいかもしれないので、胡散臭い人に対して言う場合も多い。
