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.

What holiday? We do fireworks on Independence Day (July 4) and for the New Year.

I bloody hate 5 November. 1) the rockets might be pretty, but all the local hoons set off seriously loud bangers and I get stressed by the noise and have to turn the TV up really loud to counteract it, 2) I get nervous about the animals all over the city; it's a bad time for the zoo, and 3) what the hell does a foreigner who didn't blow up a parliament in another country have to do with us? Grrr.

Bring on Matariki celebrations, or something we can actually relate to and have fun with.
