November 5th is upon us with plenty of loud bangs and wildly barking hounds disturbed from their equilibrium by it all. We had resolved to have nothing to do with this event but our daughter in Golden Bay rang for assistance with the plea that fireworks were unobtainable in the Bay and they needed to make their contribution to their planned beach party – highly controlled she told me- at Pohara. So I toddled over to the Warehouse and laid out $20 for a box of this and that. Stockers are expecting Patsy’s father Ross Garrett down on the plane this afternoon and he is calling to pick up the explosives – for that is what they are.
This year there have been more than the usual reports of eye damage, property fires and nears misses. I pray that our lot get through their fun night unscathed.
