Never try to explain to a non-AFL person why these are called "Semi-finals".

Tonight’s dinner. Fishball curry. Japanese-style, not Hong Kong-style, with fukujizuke and rakkyo. The two types of curry are very different dishes, but they’re cousins.

(Note: this is not about the severity of COVID as a disease or Long COVID. Just simply trying to gauge the intangible and difficult to quantify effects of the behavioural disruptions the pandemic has caused.)

I was told by a rehab trainer once that when people suffer an illness requiring a week of bed rest, it usually takes about 6 months to regain the previous level of activity. I’m trying to imagine the impacts of that across the health of a whole population.

I’m pretty diligent with recording my health and performance (not fanatical, but I record all lifts, times etc.) and it’s quite shocking to think that 2.5 years after the first COVID lockdown I’m still nowhere near my pre-COVID performance.

Tonight’s dinner. Stir-fried beef and cauliflower. Chinese-style long-stemmed cauliflower is called “organic” cauliflower - a translation from the Chinese, not because it’s always organically grown. This was fried with salted black beans, Shaoxing wine and a bit of oyster sauce.

Some would consider this unbelievably stupid time in Australian politics to be embarrassing, but I simply choose to view it as hilarious.

Brandis has been in politics for so long that he can't see that "we should more on climate change, but acknowledging that would be politically disadvantageous, so we should not acknowledge it" is precisely the craven political insanity that resulted in his own party's decimation.

One day there might be a politician who is capable of approaching an issue on whether or not it might be good for the country/people/planet/civilisation without having to first establish how it would benefit themselves personally and "politically".

How do I explain to people that strangers are kind to me on the street not because I am on TV or anything like that, but simply because I am objectively hot?

My children are so obsessed with karate I find myself on a Sunday, dragged to tournament they are not competing in, for a karate style they don’t even practice, just because they “want to observe”.

Tonight’s dinner. Mixed meatball spaghetti. The meatballs are made from different butcher’s sausages - pork, beef & chicken. 10 minutes of prep plus 20 minutes simmering. I wrote a recipe for this for recently and it’s so good and easy we make it at home regularly.

Returning to your home state to play in front of packed stadiums full of family and friends for a club that values you highly in return for a big pile of money is apparently being "poorly advised" if that state is South Australia.
