And so it begins

...Oh joy. Fireworks went on sale yesterday, and today is Friday.

In fact, there weren't too many today, and Spike was nicely mellowed on his melatonin and came through all right - although after one of our charming slackjawed local youth managed to set fire to Big Park, he was so freaked by the flashing blue lights that I had to sit with him in the bathroom to eat his dinner. Poor baby.

two more months of this. *sigh*

what time of year is it over there that the fireworks are in season? some idiot set off a couple firecrackers here last night and of course puppy had to go bark his darn head off about it. meanwhile i'm confused as to why someone would set off firecrackers in october here since ours are usually around july 4th.

It used to just be for Guy Fawkes' night. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_Night) except over the years it stretched to include Hallowe'en in one direction and New Year in the other.

Also, I live out at the edge of town on a housing estate full of young people without much money and nowhere nearby to go, so hanging around in parks drinking is a favourite hobby round here. And the shop that sells their beer also sells fireworks.

"And the shop that sells their beer also sells fireworks."

Makes a twisted sort of sense, that does.
