some lunatic seems to be setting off fireworks now - which is more plausible than shooting at things given that I'm not supposedly living in a war zone.

it's the wrong weekend for the official celebrations of the reign of a parasite.

now seen that it is fireworks - possibly at the other end of the road or even in the industrial park. I can't really judge the distance but it doesn't look like it's all the way into the centre of town.
