We had the first installment of fireworks. We got out into the garden which is barely big enough to leave the recommended safe distance, and we all enjoyed it. I have a box left (I really need to get over special offers where it's two for a reduced price. It rarely helps). The vampire firework was awesome. It was very sparkly and fizzy and the eyes and mouth on the side of the box glowed! We'll do the other box tomorrow.
We started early, around 5.30pm, and had dinner afterwards. It's like an artillery barrage out there now, 7.30pm, which is probably not helped because it was Diwali yesterday (Happy Diwali to all who celebrate) and I suppose people got the chance to have joint celebrations with those who celebrate Bonfire Night.
We did have a moment. DH lit a rocket with a broken stick, and it ricocheted off the study window and whizzed across the street away from us. So memo to self - check rockets for broken sticks. Also, I have to clean the dratted window as there is now a black smudge right across. It could have been so much worse!
I didn't take a pic of the fireworks, so here is one from Unsplash, taken by Lewis Zhao
Hugs and good health to all.
