'Remember, remember, the 5th of November, gunpowder, treason and plot. I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.'
I used to hear this old rhyme a lot in my youth, but not so much these days. Back then, Halloween hardly got a look in - Bonfire Night was the big thing. Times change...

We need to stop selling fireworks to the public. My poor dog has been so tolerant of them for the last 6 weeks but it's getting too much for her now.
They go off at random times day and night. There's no way to plan around this. The public cannot be trusted with mini explosive devices.

We're home again now. 300 miles of cycling in a week probably doesn't seem like much to some people, but I'm pleased to be able to still do it in my 70s. Anyway, the good people of Roscoff put on a fine firework display to mark our achievement - although they said it was laid on to celebrate the end of European Heritage Weekend... 😉

I went to see the #fireworks in #montreal tonight. We have a fireworks festival that goes all summer; 1-2 fireworks shows per week. They close the big bridge at the centre of town so people can watch from the bridge. Right after these pictures three girls walked up to me and yelled over the noise: "EXCUSE ME SIR DO YOU KNOW IF THE FIREWORKS HAVE STARTED YET?" Genius comedy, absolutely no notes.
The NZ government has rejected a ban on the public sale of fireworks. This decision defies public opinion and lacks common sense.

Some fool just set off fireworks in the Stavanger centre and disturbed the seagulls. Besides, there is an ongoing forest fire danger in Stavanger: https://www.yr.no/en/forecast/daily-table/1-15183/Norway/Rogaland/Stavanger/Stavanger

Random #fireworks display in my neighborhood but it's not worth standing outside in 32C to watch it.

#Petition #Fireworks #DisposableBBQ
With at least one fire believed to be directly attributable to the use of fireworks & with fire services highlighting the risks of BBQs and fireworks more generally, the petition calls on the UK government to ban the sale of disposable BBQs & restrict fireworks sales during hot, dry weather
We'll get enough wildfires with Global warming we don't need to add to them

Organizers of Japan's summer events — "matsuri" festivals and fireworks shows — have started to reschedule them to avoid extreme weather such as heat waves and heavy rain that have become more prevalent in recent years. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/07/15/japan/society/summer-festivals-fireworks-dates-change/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #heatwaves #festivals #fireworks #heatstroke
Yeah, so this summer broke my dog. A week of intermittant fireworks, followed by a week of intermittant thunderstorms, and now every evening she looks up at the sky through the windows as if in terror. And leans against us a bunch. It's pretty sad.

Things...
• nice fireworks display last night * • today is my birthday (65) • hunting for antique toy trains on eBay • drinking good, hot coffee
- They shoot the fireworks from the high school, which is across the golf course, a lake, and up a hill. So I have a fine view from my front lawn/driveway. Very convenient! Lots of folks come watch them from the golf course across the street. I've got plenty of free parking. 😉
Fireworks pretty much anywhere in the world: "Ohhh... Ahhhh.... It's beautiful!!!"
Fireworks in the US: "Yeah! Let's blow up shit!!! Yeah!!! USA! USA! USA! Boom!!! Boom!!! Yeah!!!!"
