Why Do Adults Still Need Fairytales?📖🧚🪄🍎🐍🙈🙉🙊🐵

God Forbid

The weekend before last the ABC radio re-aired a 2024 episode of 'God Forbid' titled 'Why do adults still need fairytales?', so I had a listen, not ever having listened to it the first time round.

But I listened to it on Apple Podcasts when it dropped onto my playlist on the Friday before it aired on radio that weekend.

Why Do Adults Still Need Fairytales?

I thought this should be interesting listening coming from a religious program, considering how many Christians still believe the story of creation and Adam and Eve are literally true. 

Not that I have much faith in the "scientific" theory of evolution either.
But I do find it amusing how some people will believe anything people tell them, such as the UFO/alien crowd -

Or the magick/conspiracy theory crowd for that matter:-)
But we all like a good story, whether true or not ... or even partly true or not.

On the subject of myths and evolution, I finally found my copy of 'Monkey', which I thought I had given away, as I went looking at the spines of every book in my bookcases looking for this book about a year ago and couldn't find it, but it was in a box of books in my wardrobe it turns out.

So, now I can read it.

The Cloud Appreciation Society and Dragons?⛅🐉👏

I watched the #28 REMORANDOM You Tube on the weekend when I was writing a post up about the "birthday paradox" and when the You Tube got to the Cloud Appreciation Society I was surprised that Claudia said she saw a cloud in the form of a dragon (to her eyes at least) in the Year of the Dragon, as I have a Never-ending Story dragon tattooed on my right forearm, because I saw a cloud that looked to me like the Never-ending Story dragon floating over a Taoist temple in 2017.

I had the dragon tattooed on my arm to celebrate turning 60 in 2024, the Year of the Dragon, because I was born in the Year of the Dragon:-)

Ironically, I became a member of the Cloud Appreciation Society back in 2013 and wrote a post about it soon afterwards that year -

Cloud Appreciation

I certainly didn't appreciate the clouds I was seeing in the sky on Sunday, as I was having a fence built on Monday and the rain was hardly stopping on Sunday.

But even though getting the fence built on Monday was looking bleak, the weather fined up for the morning at least and the fence was finished on Tuesday:-)

Much appreciated that the rain clouds stayed mostly away from my house those two days.

Now I can look forward to doing some gardening for the rest of April.

How to Celebrate Biological Clock Day?😪😴🛌💤⏾🦉⏰

Every April 28th

"The biological clock acts as a sort of inner schedule by which a person dwells that can often affect their behavior as well as their mood on a daily basis. Also known more formally as the ‘circadian rhythm’, this internal clock maintains a sleep-wake pattern that fits in with the light and dark of a day according to the rhythms of the planet. This cycle monitors light, temperature and other environmental factors to influence things in a person’s life including alertness, energy levels, hunger, motivation and other factors.
Biological Clock Day was established to celebrate the natural rhythms of the body and show appreciation for the miraculous way the human body is formed. The day is meant to raise awareness for the need that people have to pay more attention to what their bodies and brains are telling them.
The technology of today’s world, from something so simple as a regular light bulb to blue light from electronics and computers, can upset the balance of the biological clock. Biological Clock Day is here to act as a reminder for those who want to move back into a more natural rhythm and allow their bodies to tell the story!"

I'll have to set my alarm clock for April 28th, 2027, now with only one minute left in the day for this year, but on my new alarm clock, since I gave my noisy owl alarm clock away, when my son moved back to sleep in the bedroom next to mine:-)
He hated my owl alarm clock ... and it would scare me awake in the mornings, too.

Maybe I should have bought a Crow alarm clock in hindsight?-)
