How to Celebrate Watch Day in the Year of the Horse? ⌚⏱🏇🐴

Every June 19th

We measure the passing of time in various ways, calendars, zodiac animals, birthdays, moon cycles, clocks and watches.

When I have to get up to go to work like today, I set my alarm clock to wake me up, get up wash the sleep out of my eyes, go down to the kitchen, make myself a coffee, and while the jug boils, I tear yesterday's date off my Chinese wall calendar, and mark the day off with the stroke of a pen on my other monthly wall calendar.

I'm always looking at some timepiece, whether it be a clock, watch, my computer or phone, but when I'm away from home, I usually wear a watch and rely on it to tell me how long I have to get to the starting of a movie at the cinema, a play, a lunch date or just to get to work on time, and then keep an eye on my watch to know when to break for lunch, when that lunch break is over, and then when to leave work for home.  

I don't know where I would be if I wasn't wearing a watch, or if I did know, I probably wouldn't be on time;-)

Daveigh Chase Was Born and Passed Away in the Year of the Horse?🐰🐇🏇🐴

I saw the sad news of the passing of Daveigh Chase over at the 'Log24' blog and then looked up her Wikipedia page to see that not only did Daveigh pass away in 2026, the Year of the Horse, but she was born in 1990, the Year of the Horse.

Daveigh Elizabeth Chase
(July 24, 1990 – June 16, 2026)

"She first came to prominence as a child actress, portraying Samantha Darko in the film Donnie Darko (2001) and voicing the characters of Chihiro Ogino in the English dub of the Studio Ghibli film Spirited Away (2001) and Lilo Pelekai in the Walt Disney Animation Studios animated feature film Lilo & Stitch (2002)."

Oddly enough her two biggest roles in her acting career happened in 2002, the Year of the Horse, playing child antagonist Samara Morgan in the blockbuster horror film The Ring and voicing Lilo Pelekai in the Walt Disney Animation Studios animated feature film Lilo & Stitch.

I probably eat sushi on average once a week and today I splurged by buying two lots to eat.

I even bought a soy sauce bottle and sushi pin that someone donated to the Op Shop.

You should never shop on an empty stomach, as they say:-)

It's strange how Queensland still allows the fish shaped plastic soy sauce containers to be sold, while South Australia have banned them.
