The miraculous kangaroo paw given up for dead at the end of last summer

Today greeted me with the pitter-patter of raindrops (and a hefty dose of demotivation), so I spent the predawn hours vegging out with the idiot box on and gazing into the garden, appreciating the raindrops glistening on the leaves.

In days of yore, I wouldn’t have been deterred by the not-quite-drizzle level of the rain and just gotten on the bike.

I should have done it today, too.

But I am struggling to see and have lost my nerve, particularly when cornering or riding on potentially slippery surfaces.

It was enough to keep me sedimentary.

More grevillea

So was a demoralizing public shaming in the workplace yesterday.

So out of touch with reality is my sense of self-worth–sometimes I clearly over-estimate my value and others I am the polar opposite–I don’t know whether my problems stem from me or my tyrannical boss (who has terrible relationships with all employees).

Raindrops on the leaves of the tree fern…these tiny tinges of delight…小さな幸せ…are among the great joys of my life

I’m reacting in the only way I can by trying to control what I can, which means no angry outbursts and striving to be cooperative and constructive, while being grateful to my employer and generally respecting my situation by doing the best I can.

Raindrops on the petals of the leptospermum laevigatum look glorious

It’s not working particularly well, to be honest.

But the rest of the other shit is out of my control.

And I need to find a less toxic environment as it is having a severely detrimental effect on my well-being.

Thank God for Kangaeroo Corner, then, because it brings me so much joy.

  • Bird Bother Has Us Flying…By The Seat Of Our Pants

    Our dearest–in terms of both emotion and bloody expense–little mate gave us a bit of a shock the past few days as Dino, our rosy faced lovebird, appeared to be petering (ptering?) toward the brink only to slowly move toward recovery. I’m guilty as I’ve been sharing meals (and snacks) with Dino for years now, and she also shares my love for carbs and cheese, making her as fat and unhealthy as I am. You’d never know it, though, as she is vigorous and active, spending nearly all day out of her cage and flying freely throughout our home. But something seemed amiss on Friday when she was clearly in…

  • Got Rich On The Sheep’s Back

    Australia is said to have gotten rich on the sheep’s back. オーストラリアは「羊の背中に乗って」豊かになったと言われている。 Australia is a wealthy country and has been for most of the time since colonization, mainly because it has bountiful mineral resources. オーストラリアは植民地化以降ほとんどの時期で裕福な国でしたが、その主な理由は豊富な鉱物資源にある。 But before things like gold, iron ore, diamonds, uranium, lithium and the like starting bringing in the bikkies for Australia, the squattocracy raised merino sheep that fuelled the then thriving textile mills of northern England that were making Britain an industrial superpower in the 19th century. しかし、金、鉄鉱石、ダイヤモンド、ウラン、リチウムなどがオーストラリアにもたらす莫大な収入よりも前、19世紀のイギリスを産業大国へと押し上げていた北イングランドの繊維工場を支えていたのは、squattocracyが飼育していたメリノ羊だった。 The squattocracy were wealthy farmers who stole the land they used to get rich and then used their financial clout to wield political influence. スクワットクラシーとは、土地を奪って富を築き、その財力を使って政治的影響力を振るった裕福な農場主階級のこと。 Example Australia reckoned…

  • Hammered By The Cycling Gods

    Despite a short work week, life was busy and the cycling gods dealt another blow that made it hard to stay on the bike. After riding more than 30,000 kilometers in 2021, the fates have combined to drastically curtail my riding as I’ve been affected by work, play, family, health, commitments and theft have intervened. This week, I worked on site every day and left my PC in the office, which enabled me to commute by bicycle two days in a row. By the time I went to a colleague’s band play on Friday night at the Ruby Room in Shibuya, I was exhausted, but also crippled by arthritic pain…

    (Costumed) Kangaroo Stars In The “Worst Sports Movie Ever Made”

    Matilda has been described online as “the worst sports movie ever made.” Kindly, as it turns out.Matilda was a dreadful, alleged comedy about a boxing kangaroo that challenges for the world heavyweight champion title.The movie was made in 1978, when Muhammad Ali was probably at his most widely popular (and the reigning world champion), and starred Elliot Gould, who was then still not too far off the peak of a career that continues going strong today.Co-starring was another A-lister, Robert Mitchum, so it’s hard to argue that the cast and circumstances surrounding the movie didn’t pack a punch.Unfortunately, the kangaroo featured in the film was clearly a bloke in a…

  • Rain Yet Again Can Be A Bit Of A Drain

    May in Tokyo in my mind is a month of warm, dry, blissful weather, but for the second time in the four-day weekend this year for Golden Week we’ve had constant rain, which is frankly a bit of a drag. But being stuck inside with little to work on is giving me a chance to do a little study and fix my bikes to protect against theft, having being stung by a robber taking my bike earlier this year. I can also spend time with the struggling dinosaur, who still isn’t quite 100%. And the rain makes the garden look absolutely spectacular! I had originally planned to spend the morning…
