Will the real 5th November please stand up

OK, it's not the 5th, but still there are fireworks across the skies around here. One display has been postponed until next week, so that extends Guy Fawkes night even longer.

These flying Chinese lanterns seem very popular this year. Must have seem 50 or 60 of them fly over. Sitting in my conservatory, every few minutes I hear a spent rocket stick land on the roof.

But I have been very forgetful and have three days running not gone out and bought some sparklers for Emma to wave around in a dangerous fashion. I think I will be locked in the doghouse tomorrow if I forget again.
