Not exactly the finest weekend here at Weeds HQ. We had a burst water main that meant an addition of a micro-pond in the front garden so presently no running water and heating and to add to that a pair of glasses were lost on the P4 bus.
We did however have a little firework celebration earlier this evening with a pack of giant sparklers and a £14.99 box of fireworks from Lewisham Lldl. Obviously it weren’t as long a show as the fireworks they put on at The Thames for New Year’s Eve but they weren’t bad for the price either. We even burnt a fair bit of wood we cut down from the tree next door earlier this year (here). Musical accompliment to said firework display (unlike the ELO, Rolling Stones and Elton John they play on NYE) was provided by The Rhythm Doctor’s Waiting Room 23.10.2023 where he plays a fair few tracks from The Other Others LP. A fine show!
Whilst the fireworks were fireworking we were reminded of those public information films of the 1970’s where they used to try and frighten the living daylights out of you (and always used to go on about keeping the fireworks in a closed old biscuit tin). So to end this post here’s a few that are embedded in our consciousness. Have a good bonfire night!
