I have the girlies all imprisoned in the house this week, Chris. Although, really, we don't have a lot of fireworks round here. I don't think the girls are all that frightened of the bangs either. There will be a lot of fireword tomorrow though and the big display in the village here will be on Saturday. And just why do fireworks get louder every year? What is the thinking behind those hideous bangs they have to have?

Carole, I had no idea that New Zealand celebrated bonfire night. How bizarre. I have to take issue with you though in your implication that someone trying to blow up a bunch of politicians is not something to be celebrated!!! ( joking of course!)

Soothing cuddles to Bob and Ebby also Ash and Lexie.
