The Odyssey: Trickster and Homesickness?🐎🏑

I listened to the
'Jungian Ever After' podcast below and found it amusing, because if I want to watch this movie on the weekend then I'll have to see it at a cinema in Perth, which is the farthest capital city away from my hometown of Brisbane that I have ever visited in Australia.

So, I hope I don't get homesick watching it this weekend:-)

How to Celebrate Bastille Day in Australia? πŸŒŽπŸ—ΌπŸŒ⚽🦁

The time difference between
Brisbane and Paris is 8 hours, so at 5am in Brisbane Bastille Day is so yesterday, but watching the live score from the BBC, even London is an hour behind Paris I see.
I am heading to Perth before the sun sets in Brisbane today, so before midnight Brisbane time, I'll be 2 hours closer to Paris time.
I'm going for France to win the cup now that all the teams I wanted to win it are out, but I certainly won't be placing any money on them.
It wasn't a good sign that my SIGNS watch stopped yesterday, and I had to buy a new battery from the jewelers yesterday, so I could wear it in Perth.
But I've got to say that the weather forecast has put a dampener on my plans for watching the sun set in the west.
Perth weather forecast for the weekend :-(
Every July
Looks like I won't be needing any sunscreen in Perth on my July trip?
At least the rain might ease before the Brisbane Lions take to the field against the West Coast Eagles on Saturday?
West Coast Eagles v Brisbane Lions
I'm only going for France because the 
Brisbane Lions theme song is to the tune of the French national anthem.
As I have my morning coffee in the cup I bought when I was in Singapore last year, I realize that the plane trip to Perth from Brisbane will be a 6-hour flight, just like the one from Brisbane to Singapore.
I wonder if I'll be able to find a good beef hotdog before my flight to Perth today?
Third Wednesday in July
The last hotdog I remember eating was at QT's New Beverly cinema in LA last year.

UPDATE: July 15th, 2026 (Australian time)
Looks like I'll have to go for
Spain now.
There's a saying among Aussie Rules fans who aren't Collingwood supporters, shortened to an acronym ABC that stands for Anyone But Collingwood
And I'm sure there is one for Aussies who aren't English that goes ABE that stands for Anyone But England;-)

How to Celebrate Fool’s Paradise Day?πŸƒπŸ˜

"Fool’s Paradise Day kicks off with a sweet escape from everyday pressure. 
It invites you to step into a cozy mental world where joy rules.
You set the scene with bright thoughts and gentle hope.
A soft mood fills your mind. 
You let go of worries, even if just for a moment. 
This special moment helps you feel light and playful. 
It reminds you that our own thoughts can lift us when the weight of daily life gets too heavy.
On this day, we celebrate the magic of simple illusions. 
Everyone gets a chance to drift into a dream that feels sweet and gentle. 
It sparks a spark of inner warmth. 
You breathe in pure, quiet delight.
That treasure helps reshape your mindset and softens hard edges. 
Even if the fantasy fades, its glow stays.
That little glow becomes a gift.
 It teaches us that sometimes, a hopeful daydream offers a powerful reset."

'Much mourned and long remembered'
Sad news with the passing of Sam Neill yesterday (July 13th), who I never met in real life, but wrote many posts about him over the years on this blog.
