How to Celebrate National Lightning Safety Awareness Week?🌩😱

Last full week in June
(Sunday-Saturday)

I see that today is the last day to "celebrate" Lightning Safety Awareness Week, so I picked up and started reading a book I bought from the Op Shop a couple of months ago called 'How Dangerous is Lightning?'.

Also, I heard Jacob Elordi mention seeing lightning on stage in a 'Shake & Stir' play in the video above, and thought it was amusing that he played Frankenstein's monster, who was brought to life with lightning, and that 'Shake & Stir' also did a stage play of 'Frankenstein':-)

Alive on Stage

That book was published in 2010, and I'm sure that even in 2026 there is still so much to learn about lightning.

I certainly wouldn't want to be hit by it ... or become a shaman, as rumour has it that most shamans become shamans after being hit by it.

And I certainly don't want to be an actor, either;-)

Personally, I would hate to be a big celebrity with paparazzi trying to record my every move like they are doing with Jacob and Kendall.

I watched a the above You Tube featuring Jacob Elordi talking about the Shake & Stir production of 'Wuthering Heights' and how seeing that play influenced him to take the part of Heathcliff in the latest film version of 'Wuthering Heights'.

Featuring Nelle Lee

Nelle Lee the artistic director of independent theatre company, Shake & Stir starred in one of the theatre company's latest productions, 'Macbeth' ... I mean 'The Scottish Play' at QPAC, which I wrote about seeing in this recent post -

"The Scottish Play" Turns 420 This Year?🎂🎭

I must admit that Shakespeare's plays bore the pants off me, and that I only went to see the play because I saw a Q&A screening of 'All My Friends Are Back in Brisbane' at the New Farm cinema where Nelle was there in person and mentioned the play she was starring in at QPAC.

All My Friends Are Back in Brisbane (2026)

The movie is still currently screening at the New Farm Cinemas, but I'm sure if Jacob wanted his own private screening of the film, he could hire out the cinema and watch it with friends.

I'd like to see Shake & Stir adapt 'Ulysses' or 'Gravity's Rainbow' to the stage;-)

My view of Priscilla on the night

What I find personally amusing was that Jacob played Elvis in the movie 'Priscilla', and I saw Priscilla give a book talk on stage at QPAC where she mentioned that movie.

Didn't someone once write "life is but a stage ..." or something like that?-)
