Fireworks

I like them. I like setting them off more than watching them. I prefer watching them to just hearing them (that can be unpleasant actually).

Tonight we (my father, sister, a friend of hers) went to watch the show on the river.

It was nice. It was a year ago that CG and I first met. It was at a party, and there were fireworks. Tonight I had the next best thing to her being here (well, no, second best. I would, perforce have preferred to have [personal profile] commodorified, if CG couldn't be here, and vice versa).

I had CG singing on my iPod while I watched. The last bits of the show I was listenig to Fernando, while the mist of the river drifted like smoke over the hillside I was sitting on, and the crescendo of lights was being blanketed by the powder of the bursting charges.

Not as much fun as loading the tubes, and running the wire, but I didn't have to strike the frames either.

On balance.. a pretty good evening.
