Cop A Gander At These Rippers Too...
豪キャブラリー: Going off
Going offの一つの意味が「爆発する」なので、オージー英語で同表現が「盛り上がる」の使い方があると考えれば理解するのに無理がないでしょう。
Blessed By Wonderful People in 2023
Magnificent people made 2023 a much better year than I thought it was
ウィークエンド終わり、、、
あっという間にまた週末が終わった。 今週末、大好きな自転車をほとんど乗れなかった。土曜日の朝で約50キロを走ったが、それっきり、、、:( 今日は都心へ。基本的に和太鼓嫌いが付き合いで見ることになった。最高だった!謙虚にならなきゃ。
Fat-Arsed Friend!
Fortune blessed me with lots of wonderful reminders of how lucky I am yesterday, including through a fat-arsed addition to Kangaeroo Corner. We held a garden party for close friends and family, hoping to show off Kangaeroo Corner. A harsh summer, untimely rains and, I think, excessive intervention on my part, have destroyed the lawn, but much of the rest of the garden is thriving. And now, courtesy of a dear mate and former work colleague, there’s a new addition to Kangaeroo Corner in the former of Fatso, the fat-arsed wombat. I don’t know the incredible lengths she went to in getting Fatso, but through my own experience in trying…
Ouch! Taking a Tamagawa Tumble
「Ouch!」 「バカヤロー!」 「ごめんなさい。」 「日本は左通行だよ。バカヤロー!何考えてんかよ?バカヤロー!」 Kangaeroo took a Tama River tumble today and it was entirely his fault. Taking his normal pre-dawn ride along the Tama River Cycling Road, Kangaeroo caught a glimpse of an oncoming runner just late enough to be able to swerve away from her and avoid striking her…. ….only to slam straight into another cyclist coming from the opposite direction. The immediate aftermath was the aforementioned conversation. It seemed like the other bloke and his bike were OK. We rode off in opposite directions. La Cangura is scratched and her wheels wobbly. The Wahoo mount destroyed beyond repair. Kangaeroo is not too bad, with a sore arm…
Practicing for Hades
It’s been bloody hot the past few days, but I’ve been mostly stuck inside trying to keep up with the onerous demands being laid on me to try to get me to quit. I managed to slip in a couple of rides along the Tama River today, though, and it was totally worth it. Mrs. Kangaeroo also proved today that not only is she as hot af, which has nothing to do with the temperature, she is also as cool af, even if her choice in men is a little skew-whiff. I need salvation, but at the moment, all that’s happening is getting a touch of Hades as Japan swelters.
