Tonight we drove home past a Roman candle war in the park, people shooting at each other with red and green sparks, and right behind us was the police car come to stop the war :o) It's not safe to walk around at night at this time of year in case of errant fireworks battles. Another year we saw a siege going on with one side advancing out of the eucalyptus trees and the other defending the skateboard ramp as a bunker. We like to sit inside with the lights out and watch. The neighbours have such good fireworks we don't need to buy our own -- this year I haven't so much as held a sparkler.
