Waking Up Early Helps Dreams Come True

I don’t want to sound like I’m virtue signaling or anything like that, but my experience has been that the more active I am in the early morning, the greater the likelihood that I’ll gee myself up into being a decent person and go about making the most of the day.

It’s helped a lot in the past few days that we have had simply astounding weather in Tokyo, with glorious sunrises (and sunsets), creating spectacular views.

And I’m aslo blessed today because Mrs. Kangaeroo has kicked me out of the kitchen and is cooking up a storm for us to dine with a group of former co-workers for lunch today.

It will be wonderful to catch up, especially as it looked like we would not be able to host anyone this year due to a variety of duties and responsibilities taking over our weekends.

Being momentarily exiled and having some time on my hands, it was a chance to blog.

Dino had scared me as I’d heard her chirp in distress many times during the night, but she seemed fairly active when I eventually let her out of her cage.

She is parked on her food box inside the cage now, sleeping deeply. Her struggles and my incapacity to do anything more about them are breaking my heart.

But the glorious start to the day and the prospects of meeting great friends (and scoffing down delicious dishes) makes my heart a bit lighter.

Cop A Gander At These Rippers Too...

  • Flashes of Brilliance, but Lacking Focus

    Today’s title was a perfect summation of the photos I took on my morning ride, but could also describe my life to a tee. The skies were spectacular! My photography, not quite so. I am struggling to hold my phone still. My hands shake all the time. I got a late start as I communicated with my (retired) psychotherapist sister about how to deal with my current situation. I’m trying to avoid dealing with my emotions and reality. But I am going to have to face both, as the only solution lies within myself. And that was going through my mind as I rode off. Now I have to head…

    How Did An Aussie Bloke Build One of Japan’s Favourite Craft Breweries?

    オーストラリア人はいかにして日本で人気クラフトビール醸造所を築いたのか？ When Australian Sean Collett moved to Japan, he came to study—not to brew beer. Today, he and his Japanese wife Ayako run Two Rabbits Brewing in Shiga Prefecture, creating beers that blend Australian creativity with Japanese craftsmanship. オーストラリア出身のショーン・コレットさんは、留学のために日本へやって来ました。 しかし現在では、日本人の妻・綾子さんとともに滋賀県で「Two Rabbits Brewing」を営み、オーストラリアの発想と日本のものづくり精神を融合させたクラフトビールを造っています。 From Australia to Lake Biwa オーストラリアから琵琶湖へ Sean Collett first came to Japan as a student at Kyoto University. While living in Japan, he discovered that the country’s growing craft beer scene offered an opportunity to combine two passions—brewing and cultural exchange. Together with his wife Ayako, he founded Two Rabbits Brewing in neighbouring Shiga Prefecture. Today, the brewery welcomes both local customers and visitors from around the world….

  • Bracing…

    Unfortunately, the bracing in the title of today’s post refers to readying for what looks like a rough ride ahead instead of the alternative meaning of refreshing. My job search has proved disastrous, and it’s hard to keep trying to convince myself that I should be grateful for the position I do have even though my employer clearly wants me out and is harassing and haranguing me in every possible way to make my departure a voluntary rather than enforced one. It’s even worse to be surrounded by people who, though well-meaning and intending to encourage, are driving my feelings downward by constantly insisting that things will get better when…

  • Heading Toward New Horizons

    We’re off to a new home, thanks to the miraculous passage of a housing loan, and I’m getting a new job as the company looks for ways to deal with the pandemic. We’re moving back over the hill from Kawasaki into Tama and into a delightful place now undergoing renovations. Work is another matter. It smells a bit fishy. We were told the shift a day before it initially happened before a short postponement, and the company is saying it’s a transfer for administrative purposes and we will continue to use the same company name and contacts despite belonging to a completely different entity. Today, I found they have terminated…

    Strine-speaking, Sydney-born star made Japan’s queen of natto fermented beans

    Strine-speaking Shiori Kutsuna has been declared the 2012 Natto Queen, an award handed out to celebrities who promote fermented soybeans, or natto, as they’re known in Japanese. Kutsuna, a 19-year-old Sydney-born actress, was presented with her award at a ceremony in Tokyo earlier this week. Natto are a popular dish, particularly in eastern Japan, and are highly valued for their nutritional content and health benefits. Less widely praised are the gooey, sticky texture of the fermented beans. Kutsuna was born in Sydney and spent her formative years in Australia’s biggest city, learning how to speak fluent Strine. She is a dual Australian-Japanese citizen. As Japan’s Natto Queen, an award bestowed…

  • Treading Through The Tulips

    Much as I would love to have been tiptoeing, I’m way too fat to do that, so when Mrs. Kangaeroo and I headed off to the Hamura Tulip Festival, it was stomping heavily through the gorgeous flowers. Mrs. Kangaeroo and I had done some cycling tours together in the past, but not since before the COVID-19 pandemic. I’d been pushing all week to go as the return trip is largely flat and a distance I thought Mrs. Kangaeroo would be able to handle despite not having cycled for many years. But the visit seemed unlikely yesterday as our dinosaur fell ill, and I woke this morning expecting to spend the…
