fireworks

I really wanted to cycle to Lewes tonight for the fireworks, but instead I fear I'm going to have to stay in with my handkerchief and a blanket.

whoosh BANG

Hooray for fireworks!
And hooray for Jane Asher.

remember remember

whoooooooosh bang whizz


last night i went out to the bonfire night celebrations in lewes (a small town outside brighton). they are very into their bonfire celebrations and have 7 different bonfire societies all competing against each other with different fireworks sites around the village.

first we watched all the societies marching around the town centre (which went on for a good while) - they had flaming torches and numerous different costumes and were parading with exploding drums and such like. It was a tad scary and noisy at times but it was also rather exciting.

and after all the parading and the marching it was time to watch the fireworks:




i do like fireworks

remember remember, the 5th of november

when i went to the fireworks celebrations on saturday i took my camera along with the plan to take many a picture only to find that my batteries were dead - how very disappointing!

luckily i forgot to use my sparklers on saturday and so yesterday i had some fun with my friend milkan taking loooooooooong exposure pics while we played with them.

here's the best of the crop:

1. m for milkan
2. deb
3. a sailboat (my personal favourite)

today my new keyboard arrived and i am back on my mac after a week using the clunky old pc (well, at least it's reliable).

so i thought finally starting my blog would be a good way to break in the new keys (and a good way to waste a morning of course)

i have drawn a pic of my nice new keyboard:




what a beaut!
anyway, that is all for now - more to come soon! i am off to see the fireworks in farnham tonight - i am going to wear my newly knitted green hat (i hope it doesn't get set on fire or anything unpleasant ----> fireworks scare me a bit) wish me luck...
