Ahh nothing like the smell of fresh gunpowder in the morning to get the lungs pumping. Last night I went for a walk to the supermarket after dark and was amazed at the sheer power of the fireworks exploding all over the place; more than I can ever remember seeing on a bonfire night before now. Oh and some bloke strode up to me just after I had drawn out a wad of cash from the ATM and blurted something at me. It was incredibly intimidating because he got almost chest to chest and I could hear the alcohol slurring his words but it turned out he just wanted a lighter. I told him I didn't smoke and he gave me the dirtiest look ever before, after hesitating for a moment or two, he stormed off in a huff. I have little doubt that if I was a less tall man he would have attempted to mug me for all I was worth.

On other news I am still at the office ordering various complicated springs. Theoretically this is again my last day, but who knows. If it is my last day then perhaps I'll take a week off to enjoy my birthday in style.
