Fireworks

Photo by Vin Jack on Unsplash

I didn't take any pics today so used a pic from Unsplash - a site which doesn't seem to show sad roman candles in small, weedy gardens so it's a fancy pic. It was all rather dull until we decided to set off the fireworks tonight rather than Tuesday. Bear was going over what he needed to study and when, and decided that tonight was a better night for him. 

Normally we get an inexpensive assortment from a supermarket but this time I think DH went to a specialist place. This may have been a tactical error. Two of the fireworks fell over, and it was a very small assortment. There were sparks and flashes everywhere! The men took it in their stride but I was a nervous wreck. Tomorrow I'll have to pick up all the unexploded bits and check for scorch marks. 

I'm kind of glad that we're unlikely to have fireworks next year. 

Hugs and good health to all.

  1. Sounds like it was a fun thing to do, Lyssa. No fireworks here, yet! We don't celebrate Guy Fawkes' Day, here, but, Tuesday is elections day and I feel that we are sitting on a powder keg about to go off!

    1. Guy Fawkes - the last man to enter Parliament with good intentions. Sending good thoughts over the Atlantic.
