A selfless lay-off from Mata sets up Jelacic to finish off a well worked team goal. Making it 3-nil. And Sydney looking rather dejected TBH. #MVCvSYD

Very smooth train trip to arrive at AAMI Park with time for a pre-match stadium beer. Then to take a seat in the sun for a citizenship ceremony and the match preliminaries. Can bust out the #PrawnSandwichBrigade bahn mi at half time. No pyro, no party! #MVCvSYD

For marinating or quick pickles, it's hard to go past a zip-lock bag for utility. Carrot and daikon amazukemono for in the bahn mi.

Started the public holiday with a long walk along the Darebin creek through Thornbury. Attended to some laundry and had breakfast. Need to make a quick pickle of carrot and daikon, to add to the #PrawnSandwichBrigade bahn mi for #MVCvSYD... but first, 日本語 practice.

Wrapping up a busy sunday having kabu with soboro ankake (again), sauté turnip greens, butter rice and slaw. And toasting tomorrow's public holiday (and rest day) with a Starward #whisky highball. A perfect drink for these warm nights. 乾杯!

Solid 7-a-side run of #GrassrootsFootball this morning. Which was not a bad effort considering the smoky conditions. Now I can spend the remainder of the day walking around like a cripple and feeling like I've smoked half a pack of cigarettes.

Step outside from the venue, to load some gear out, and the air smells of woodsmoke. That's not good...

It's show day, so time to tune the Aerolyte in readiness. Wound up like a marching snare so it's tighter than a nun's knickers and gives out an absolute crack!

US-owned TikTok is a greater threat than Chinese-owned TikTok.
BREAKING: Now that TikTok is under US-based ownership, the social media app potentially collects more detailed information about its users, including precise location data.

We are generously provisioned with Vietnamese mint, so bahn mi will be the #PrawnSandwichBrigade go-to for the #BigBlue on Monday evening. Need to make up a batch of char hsiu marinade today in readiness. #MVCvSYD

Got out and logged 42km #cycling the Darebin and Merri creeks, while the temperature was still cool. Have up some temporary shading to protect some of the garden from the forecast maximum of 40°C. And doing a load of laundry.

Last solitary gourmet Hakurei turnip exploration for the week. Air fried turnips with lime-miso glaze, green beans, chicken katsu and green salad. It'll be a light tea tomorrow (show day), but will revisit the braised turnip and chicken.

Day 5 and the really active fermentation has stopped. Cabbage is still a little crunchy, but there is a nice tang to it. With a couple of really hot days to come, the sauerkraut is going into the fridge for safe keeping. Then it'll be divided into jars.

English debates “they.” Japanese debates “I.” This week we look at how pronouns, names and suffixes encode gender — often in opposite ways.
Just between you and me: Gender and Japanese pronouns
Japanese pronouns reveal gender in unexpected ways, complicating how speakers express identity compared with current English.
