Fireworks

My flatmates bought some fireworks, so naturally when it got dark tonight, we had to let them off! Great fun still, even though skyrockets are banned these days. The neighbourhood dogs started hollering. Our cats were safely locked indoors.

I am looking forward to Guy Fawkes. In the UK, they have gone all politically correct and refer to it as Bonfire Night. Last year in Ealing, London it seemed like a warzone. People were firing rockets at you, and walking to the gym through an estate seemed like walking through a war zone. NZ may be less politically correct about it all, but it feels safer at this time of year.
