This being the weekend of 5 November, Wellington has been alight with fireworks displays. The main one takes place in the harbour (literally) on a barge and is by all accounts a spectacle. There have been plenty of home displays in Khandallah so hope the pets have been kept indoors.
Interesting to think that here in NZ we are still celebrating the fact that Guy Fawkes and his merry men were foiled in their attempt to blow up parliament all those years ago (and miles away). I think it's any excuse to have a party. Safety as always is a big issue with this event and it's no different here in NZ.
So what did we make of the kiwi celebrations? Well to be honest we we at home away from the noise and excitement. Bah humbug eh. It had been a busy day with our own excitement to contend with and someone it just didn't seem right to be waiting till gone 9pm to be able to let off the displays. I was almost ready for bed!
