Gunpowder, Treason and Plot

If you do not love fireworks, look away now!

Tonight is Bonfire Night. However, in tune with the popular idea that everything is better at the weekend, my town held its public firework show on Saturday, November 1st. So... we had ghosts, ghouls and skeletons on Friday, followed by an inferno on Saturday.

My apartment is perfectly situated for this display. Quite a treat! And it made chez Mary a popular place to be.

These photos were taken from my living room. (Not a sparkler in sight. I saved those for tonight!)

Ooh
Aah
Wow
Weee
Cool
Crikey!
Fab
Gorge...
Yum
Beautiful!

Congratulations to Barack Obama!!!

If Jimi Hendrix had lived, his varicose veins would have looked like this.

The view from my bedroom window was a little less stunning but the sound, nonehteless, deafening: two rockets, one catherine wheel and fourteen cats fighting for shelter under an upturned wheelbarrow.

I took some photo's of the sky last night and I am certain none are as spectacular as these.

Stuart - sincere apologies! (What was I thinking?!) To make up, I have your name at the top of next year’s list.

Whirl - I love that scene outside your bedroom window. What a lot of cats! I live so high from the ground that frightened animals are beyond my field of vision.

Cate - it was a dazzling display -- just 200 yards in front of my building!
