  • We have a perfect view from the garden of the local fireworks, so we will be sat in the garden toasting marshmallows and drinking hot chocolate

    I'm helping to run a candyfloss stall at a local fireworks display on Friday evening.

    The display itself is a free community event - first time it's been able to go ahead since November 2019.

    It's usually a very good display, but they've got a different company providing the fireworks this time so I hope they keep up the standard.

    I'm wondering how to price the candyfloss.  We charged £1.50 in 2019 - time to put it up to £2?

    I'll be comforting my terrified cat as local idiots let off fireworks in the street.

    How was your cat on the night, @GingerTim? Sorry to hear about fireworks being let off on the streets. Our cat was pretty on edge most of the night - my partner stayed home to look after her and I'm sure she must be relieved it's all over.

    Sorry to hear your cat was a bit nervy about the whole thing. Mine spent the evening curled up against me, and he is now founding the Fireworks Abolition League!
