Sweat Is Simply Fat Having A Cry

Cycling has been one of my later life joys, and even though one of my original goals of weight control through riding bikes has failed spectacularly, it has brought me immense pleasure, with rides like this week’s explaining why.

I was limited by life circumstances in how much I could get on the bike this week, but when I could it was magnificent, and the weather the past couple of days has matched that.

I’ve been able to witness spectacular skies as the sun rose and set, as well as ride off all the cobwebs of a week spent largely desk bound with duties.

Working from home has been excruciatingly tough this week in one sense as poor Dino fought her ails. Our rosy faced lovebird has been sick with a bacterial infection for months and it is not responding to treatment. She is clearly distressed and that eats away at me, particularly as we have taken every step possible to help in trying to heal my closest and near constant companion through the years of the pandemic.

Cop A Gander At These Rippers Too...

  • 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…

    豪キャブラリー:Whinge

    言うのはなんだけど、(残念ながら考えRoo自身を含めて)多くのオージーがぐずることが大好きでまるで国民的な行動と言っても過言ではないかもしれない。オージー英語では、このぐずぐず文句を言う癖(?)は、Whingeと言う。  皮肉的に多くのオージーの間Whingeと言えばPommy(イギリス人のスラングな言い方)を思い浮かべ、Whinging Pommyが(少し軽蔑を込めて)よく使われている表現だ。  ちなみに、whingeを頻繁にする人はwhingerと言う。

  • Can’t Wait To Get Back In The Saddle Again In The Year Of The Horse

    Welcome to 2026, umadoshi, or the Year of the Horse according to the Chinese Zodiac. Though I’d really love to be hitting the new year at a gallop, I’ve been limp for months after breaking a leg. But my recovery is now finally entering its final furlong. All I want from 2026 is to be a decent bloke who does the right thing by family, friends, employer, dinosaur, and those I come into contact with. I’d love to be able to ride my bike as much as possible and join Mrs. Kangaeroo in the horse-riding that she loves, even if only for a ride or two. I’d also like to…

  • ボーガン文化:カルチャー・レポート

    エグゼクティブ・サマリー まず最初に理解しておきたいのは、 「ボーガン」はひとつの明確な社会階層を指す言葉ではないということ。むしろ、オーストラリア文化の中で 驚くほど柔軟に使われるラベルだ。 時代や文脈によって、ボーガンはこんな意味を持ってきた。 最後の変化が、実は一番面白い。 ■ 侮蔑から「アイデンティティ」へ もともと“ボーガン”はほぼ 侮蔑語として使われていた。ところが近年は、 「本物らしさ」「オーストラリアらしさ」「文化的スノッブへの反抗」 といった意味を帯びて、 部分的に“誇りのラベル”として再評価されている。言語学者ロズリン・ローワンは、 ボーガンを「否定的な意味が、肯定的な自己認識やナショナリズムへと変換されうる、独特のオーストラリア文化キーワード」と表現している。 つまり、 悪口だったはずの言葉が、国民的アイデンティティの一部になってしまった。

  • On A Prayer And A Wing (Or Two Wings)

    My dearest friend is on the verge of death and I am praying like mad that she’ll be able to come through with the slim chances she has even though I don’t really believe in magical sky fairies. I’ve always seen 21st century prayer as something invented by the Americans to allow fast-talking charlatans to have multiple wives or closely related spouses; deceive the gullible; subjugate women, the impoverished or minorities; maybe even justify outlandish fairy tales like trickle-down economics, or a Dicktator* making their cuntry** great (grate?) again? There’s certainly not much goodwill in what I’ve seen of American Christianity. But, I digress. I have been hoping beyond hope…
