Marching Onward

March draws to a close today, ending the first quarter of the calendar year for 2023 in what seems a stunningly speedy period.

Time is, of course, relative.

Each year, the relative amount of time each period occupies in our whole lives is shorter.

So. it’s only natural that time seems to pass quicker.

At least, that’s how I think it works.

Spring is beautiful in Tokyo, especially when it’s not raining.

After a disjointed week for all sorts of reasons, I got to ride this morning as usual.

With the spate of repairs that I carried out and diminishing functionality, I’ve lost a lot of my nerve.

But on long, straight stretches, I can ride to my heart’s content, and loved doing so this morning.

I was rewarded in lots of ways, such as getting to suck the wheel of a young feller who rushed up behind me, overtook and then gained the pleasure of shielding me from the wind for the rest of our journey together.

In addition, I go to see some wonderful cherry blossoms on one of my favorite sections of the morning ride. And there was added mist for effect, too.

More than anything, it’s Friday. A busy day ahead (grueling and demanding might be a more accurate description)

    「やばいリンガル」Heaps （山積み）

    　もの・ことを積み重なると米・英語ではheapを使えるが、豪語ではheapになると意味が違ってくる。どのように変えるか見て見よう。 Differences between Strine and English as it’s spoken in other parts of the world can simply make some collapse into a heap…unless they’re Down Under, where “heaps” carries a different meaning.

  • Mean and Green

    After a few months of being jealous of my neighbors for enabling their lawns to evade the effects of the blistering hot summer, I woke this morning to find myself transforming from being green with envy to being verdant with chlorophyll! Kangaeroo Corner’s lawn, which started May in a generally strong state albeit being slightly patchy, took a drastic turn for the worst in early June. At what should have been the onset of the rainy season, I made the mistake of heavily fertilizing the warn to boost its strength for what I expected would be a hot and wet period ahead. I was only half right: we got the…

  • A Pheasant Start to the Morning

    I got a delightful start to the morning with a not-quite-chance encounter with a beautiful green pheasant near the Tama River. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been fortunate enough to cross tracks with pheasants in a few places. They’re beautiful birds, the males are at least, and I loved being able to catch a glimpse of them, sometimes up close. And being a photography aficionado, I was keen on getting a good shot. I’d tried with my mobile phone camera, but the photos weren’t much chop. They were grainy and out of focus, and it was hard to get a decent picture. But I saw pheasants in a few…

  • Gifted With A Glimpse Of Gloriousness

    Dragging myself out of bed into the dark and icy cold when I didn’t want to go ended up with being rewarded by a series of absolutely glorious sights. I woke earlier than usual and was absolutely freezing, which was unexpected as the forecast is for another spring-like day today. My inner voice told me to stay in bed and enjoy the warmth that wrapping myself in a blanket would bring. But I got dressed and went out anyway. And blessings followed thereafter! I rode a clockwise loop this morning, as opposed to my usual counterclockwise route along the river. There was nothing unexpected at first, but as I entered…
