Remember Remember the 5th November

Hey yesterday was some night. They said it was 5th November but it was like a war out there. I have never heard anything like it. There were bangs and whizzes and flashes all through the evening. I got quite frightened at first and fell off my perch and went and hid behind the settee.

Sebastian came down and told me it was quite alright and not to be afraid. I thought it was very nice of him, but I did wonder why he spent the time under the bed upstairs all the while they were whizzing and banging. Max told me he takes his deaf aid out and then he doesn't hear so much of it. Mind you he spent a lot of time looking out the window at all the lights and flashes. Some of those flashes went right up beyond the sky. and I am sure some of those whizzy things whizzed there way right out of the world well certainly out past where Tescos is.

When I went for my walk this morning there were quite a few new sticks about and I picked a few up to bring home. Only trouble was they smelled of something horrible. Max said it was gunpowder but he was being silly - they don't fire guns round here - do they?

Anyway Seb said it would all be over now until next year. Max said it will be ona gain tonight. One of them is probably right. I'm taking no chances - I've built my shelter this time.
