Remember Remember The 5th Of November


Find more videos like this on OPEN Fluxus

These were at Verdin park at the weekend but similar sights now outside as the sky is lit up with rockets and fireworks. We set some off too at the bottom of the garden decorated with candles and a small bonfire under a bentwood chair that has seen better days.
From the charity shop today I got some videos for 50p each- an early Renior and Charles Laughton in The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Also a Cd of Arthur Askey songs and skits from the 40's. Some great titles amongst them - The Worm, Why Do Pigs Have Curly Tails? and The Banana.
It's a triple celebration today as its a new president, bonfire night and our 25th anniversary of our first date at a firework party in Alsager, where Hazel was a student. Hard to believe the time has flown by and we are still together.
I couldnt find anything silver but made a collage with some silver paper integrated into it.
It's almost time for Paul Merton in India so better go and wrap this up now.
I made a lentil bake for dinner and the champagne that Hazel's Mom bought round remains unopened . Maybe we will broach it this weekend.

Congrats on 25 years...
It's wonderful to see that a perfect couple hooked up.
Though, 3,000 miles away we consider you lot as some of our best friends.
Enjoy the champagne.
Who's this Paul Merton in India???

Nice of you to say so Jonathan. Thanks for the good wishes. We consider ourselves very lucky.
Paul Merton is a popular comedian over here and has a series on C5 where he visits different parts of India and discovers odd characters and events going on . Last night it was very amateurish, almost "sweded" videos being made just outside Mumbai(Bombay) and being sold cheaply in tin shacks by the side of the road. re-makes of James Bond etc. very funny!
