Bonfire Night

It's Fireworks Night again. Or Bonfire Night, or Guy Fawkes night. Whatever you want to call it, it's tonight. I've heard a few fireworks going off already, and no doubt I'll be hearing a lot more before the night is out.

As a kid, I used to love all that stuff. But after a while, once you've seen one fireworks display, you've seen 'em all. And when you have a dog in the house, fireworks become a real pain. Dogs in general, and ours in particular - hate fireworks. It wouldn't be quite so bad if it was only one night of the year, but it goes on for weeks. As soon as the shops start selling them, people start lighting them. Christmas starts in September, Bonfire Night starts in October.

So, uh, Happy New Year!
