Fireworks

All weekend, and Monday night (the Fifth of November, remember, remember) we're seeing amateur fireworks at night for Guy Fawkes Day. They're not nearly as annoying as the Fourth of July fireworks for a few reasons:

• The fireworks stop at a sensible hour (I don't recall hearing any after 10pm);
• This time of year, we don't have our windows open, so it's easier to ignore the sounds and smells;
• All the roofs are slate, so there's less danger of accidental fires.
