Putting the ‘Ning’ Into Gardening

Despite parents who were avid gardeners – Dad even worked as a part-time gardener – and growing up surrounded by greenery, I never got into horticultural pursuits until I got a plot of my own and became enthralled, even though I’m a bloody ning-nong in the yard.

I don’t really know what I am doing and have a garden of Aussie plants that probably need a little bit of special care because of the climatic conditions they may not be suited for.

It’s a case of live and learn, but I love it. I wish my ignorance was less harmful to the plants that suffer under my care, or lack thereof, but I hope to get better at this caper. In the meantime, I am thoroughly besotted by the springtime transformation, particularly on a day like today when rain prevented me from riding and I got to savor Kangaeroo Corner from a bird’s eye view.

Cop A Gander At These Rippers Too...

    Thwack! Roo Taking No Nonsense From Paraglider

    An Aussie paraglider copped a shellacking from the national symbol recently, going global with a video showing a kangaroo attacking him as he landed near Canberra. The paraglider offered a warm welcome to the ‘roo only for the mean marsupial to pounce at the intruder and let loose with a couple of decent whacks. The kangaroo bounded off, leaving the paraglider unharmed except for a case of hurt pride and footage that has not gone viral.

  • Slice of Heaven

    Kangaeroo Corner, the name I give to our garden even though it’s not a corner but close enough anyway (which kinda sums up my life) is a little slice of Godzone for me. Gardening had never entered my radar until Mrs. Kangaeroo and the amazing Alex Endo presented us with an Aussie native plant garden just over two years ago. And while much of my life has entered something of a downward spiral since that time, the garden has been a little sliver of great joy. It’s really ironic as mum and dad were avid gardeners and dad even did it professionally. Of course, I never took enough interest to…

  • Google オートコレクト Putting the シティ in Aussie Cities

    「シドニーが高い」、「アデレードが蔵穴」など、Googleオートコレクトで検索すると最初に表れる提案がオーストラリア各州の州都にとって決して好意的な結果ではないとメルボルンのヘラルド・サン紙が5日報道した。 メルボルンは「シドニーより良い」とブリスベーンが「退屈」。ダーウィンが意味不明の「ダーウィンが俺の仲間だ」。 タスマニア州州都ホーバートに対してオートコレクトがまず書くのが「どんなオーストラリアの州の州都か？」。豪首都であり、州ではなく、オーストラリア首都特別地域に位置しているにも関わらず最も聞かれているのは「何州にある？」。 唯一良いと言える結果がパースから来て、同市に対して「俺の街であり、大好きだ！」。 各市に対しての英語でのオートコレクト表現が以下の通りだ。 Sydney is expensive Melbourne is better than Sydney Adelaide is a hole Darwin is my homeboy Brisbane is boring Perth is my city and I love it Hobart is the captial of which Australian state? Canberra is in which state （元記事＜英語＞）’Sydney is stupid, Brisbane is boring’ Google Provides a Better Image of Australia’s Biggest City

  • Reflections

    Today’s gonna be a demanding day, but hopefully a magical one in all sorts of ways. I’m connecting with wizards who I am hoping will whisk me away from the uncomfortable spot my professional life has found itself in, but the imposter syndrome is already really strong. At least I got a great ride in this morning as the last few days of the most glorious time of the year tick away. It was wonderful to ride along the Tama River in the early hours of the morning and greet the occasional Japanese green pheasant along the way. And then to come back home to enjoy the garden was truly…

  • Meeting Little Mate Is An Absolute Tweet

    Thanks to the courtesy and support of colleagues, I could whip out of the office early, get on my bike and be greeted with the delightful chirps of a little bird ecstatic to see me as I arrived at the Yokohama Bird Clinic. Dino, our rosy faced lovebird, chirped excitedly upon seeing me. I was delighted to hear that she is improving, but also a little disheartened to hear Dr. Ritsuko Kato’s opinion that it is unlikely our bird will ever make a complete recovery and will need fairly constant attention if released from the hospital. After the roughly five minute visit, which is about the extent permitted, I got…
