Silly Fireworks Season #SundaySelfie

Here I am chilling out this easy Sunday, hoping tonight's fireworks for Bonfire Night, which actually falls on Tuesday 5th November, aren't too loud. 

It's impossible I know.

Fireworks don't bother me much to be honest, unless they're being fired off by our neighbours. That's too close for comfort. 

Mum detests fireworks. She says what's the point? If you've seen one firework display, you've seen them all.

I mean, just what is the fascination with deafening booms and flashing lights? As an animal lover, Mum can't  understand why people with pets like to participate as most of our neighbours and many locals do have pets. Do they even care how terrifying these explosive sounds can be for animals? And that's ALL animals, not just beloved pets.

Silent or low noise fireworks are now available, but obviously the majority of the noise-obsessed public won't find them "fun" at all. Unfortunately, being excessively loud and obnoxious is all some persons can be in order to suggest they are having a good time.

If you're worried about your pets and fireworks here is a helpful video from Woodgreen Pets Charity, and also some advice on the charity's website here.

  1. I hope the fireworks aren't too loud. We only hear them in the distance hear, thankfully.

  2. We couldn't agree more. The laws are long overdue for change. What a lovely selfie. Here's hoping your evening and night is a quiet one.

  3. If local authorities could take over doing one big display no-one would need small ones.Fireworks have a long history but the banging loud ones are from China and are much more recent. I hate those.

  5. We are not fans of fireworks, either, Athena and Mum. We ARE fans of your beautiful selfie and artwork, though. :)
