Well what a night that was. This year once again I refused to chance New Year's Eve outside & a glance from my window reminded me why I choose to spend this annual celebration at home.
Fireworks are thrown from windows and balconies onto the crowded streets below. Rockets are placed on the pavements without any warning and shoot off in all directions. Others leap as bangers explode beneath them. I even saw one idiot who was lighting squibs accompanied by his dog... poor terrified creature. I ventured out onto the balcony but rockets were roaring past at frighteningly close range and I quickly retreated inside to the sound of ambulance sirens which continued to wail all through the night.
I dread to think how many people end up in the hospital with horrific injuries. Not only is there no Health & Safety, there is no common sense. In the first hours of the new year Poles are even more primitive than at any other time.
