Hello Ian, and Warren and Bob ...and others reading along;
I reduced the "8" readings to "4" posts and now this , direct on
the keyboard.
Boring country...eh? I'd have to agree, as I can not remember anything
where we joined in celebrations with fellow residents, like they do in
the USA to celebrate July 4th.
Maria was at the community of Jackson's Point's CANADA DAY < July 1st>
and wondered why NO ONE was dancing with the entertainment provided
< even off key...tone deaf...or maybe me>. She was dancing like
caranval style, and well it was just people dressed in Red n white
standing there...thats all.... BBQs going and this group howling away,
destroying tunes in knew from the 60s and 70s...mmmm.
Sometime ago, it was worse, but then a Government official pointed it
out and this celebration of Canada , resulted in more flags flying, but
little else. The high of the day....was night on the beach watching
the fireworks , well out on the water, with in the background ,other
communitys around the lake celebrating as well, private folks bunring
the bundle in a few seconds of enjoyment for a good penny.
"Thanks" Ian ... I do remember our Guy Fawkes in Scotland... I guess
we celebrated the fact someone in England , wanted to get rid of
Parliament, but ours was during the days before making the dummy for
ontop of the fire...and what a bonfire it was to be with poles together
quite high...a great blaze... a few drops of petrol <gasoline> or whatever
and between the poles we'd be given the job to stuff ,anything and everything
that would burn.
I wasn't afraid of the dummy until the night he had to go to the bonfire
and placed ontop, and well he too got his final load of fireworks too
the one I remember were the rockets with the trailing wooden sticks
which you normally put in the ground to be fired off.... during the
fire I'd be brave enough in the dark < no boogyman> to watch until one
of these rockets popped and went the wrong way....big laugh...but the
fire today here would be so illegal. Yep Boring here too...
Guy Fawkes is only celebrated in Newfoundland, but I don't think they
know why? They just seem to call it Bonfire Day ...
OK...Great day outside... Maria and I are headed out...to Troll the
countryside here... ttfn...73...over and out... 10-4 and all that...
