Last night as I lay in bed I heard a series of thuds outside. Reluctantly got up to check there were no hooligans around bashing things. It was of course a firework... which the neighbour was holding... in his teeth... as it let off one charge after another into the sky.
I chose not to say anything lest in his startlement he turn in my direction.
Went back to bed. Heard more and larger fireworks after that but no screams of pain so I guess all good....
