Fireworks

SHOULD BE BANNED ... I got home from work - cooked dinner, then sat down with a cuppa and the paper to hear fireworks going off. I looked at the calendar - nope not November (from my memory guyfawkes is in November). I go to the back door and see fireworks being let off over the other side of the river (Edgecumbe township on that side). Then I hear the stock and freak out ... I stick my gumboats on and walk down to the paddock. Here they are the poor socks - spooked out of their minds running up and down. I let down a fence to give them more space - also there is a day old calf in there - fortunately the mother is sheilding it from the rest of the cows running up and down.
I know the fireworks are pretty and all that jazz but I am just sick and tired of people celebrating something that involved someone burning down a building - durrrrrrrrrrr!

And while I am on the band wagon ... just read the article in the Herald about the Kahui Twins father being arrested for their murder ... lets just hope its the right person who did it ... because I am sick and tired of people getting away with this sort of shit!

Also, I have a swollen mouth as I got whacked at work today - by none other than a fire hose! Blood everywhere - at least I know I can do first aide on myself under stress.
