Jack Frost

Dawn woke at -1 degree centigrade, cold with an icy sheen upon everything, but the sun cast his bright golden glow upon the earth, bringing dew to the grassy lawn.

Ol' Jack Frost brings the season of SAD, but not for me, it will soon be time to depart for sunnier climes, but I did get to this year’s annual gathering of friends from afar … Stranger in a strange land;

Guy Fawkes bonfire night went ahead as it has for fourteen years, a bastion of mercurial sanity; and with this being the first Saturday occurrence for many years, the sky was ablaze all night with the sight and sound of Fireworks filling the horizon. http://www.bonefire.org/guy/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/15208245@N00/sets/1363722/
I am surprised there has not been a renewed fervour of calls to ban this celebration. http://www.looking-glass.co.uk/campaigns/banthebang_intro.htm
Will there be more injuries this year than in previous years? http://www.dti.gov.uk/ccp/topics1/pdf1/fireworkinjuries2004.pdf
