The fireworks are starting here now. I enjoy Guy Fawkes night and I like fireworks, but I won't be sorry that soon there'll be no more of them for the local idiots to buy and set off at all hours of the night.
Poor Tex has been going frantic, he's hiding under the bed now, and we haven't even hit the big displays that will start soon. Can't help thinking it's a weird thing to celebrate, someone trying to blow up Parliament, but it gets us fireworks and bonfires so who am I to question the day? *g* That is if there's any bonfires, the council have been pulling down any that have been built in the area. Which I can't really fault them about, unsupervised fires are not a good thing.
Kayleigh was just here telling me she's been sacked from her job. I felt so gutted for her, she loved the job and enjoyed it. It was part of a training scheme and she only got £60 a week but she liked it. They said that she wasn't good enough which is rubbish. She's improved so much since she started, her confidence has shot up and her skills improve all the time. Just this morning she was thinking of moving out to share a flat with her friend. I know she's young, and will get another job eventually but she looked so sad.
She also made me cry when she was telling me how the bus she was on hit a dog. I'm such a sap, she was saying how it was running with a ball and it's ears were flapping in the wind. Then the bus hut it and it was screeching until it died. I hate stories like that *sniff*
Now I'm off to watch the fireworks, then watch pretty mutants. New Brennan! EEEEK!

We celebrate Halloween here too, just not to the extent that you do. Children go trick or treating, pumpkins carved etc, but it's not a huge deal really. Everyone that I know gives out stuff at Halloween, but it tends to be small amounts of money, not sweets.
Personally I celebrate both, as do most people, so I don't understand why he wouldn't want to join in. But no, it's not an English thing. He must just be anti social.
I'd love to take part in a Halloween that's a big event. It must be so cool to get dressed up and wander the streets getting free sweets. Though I may be too old to do that now *g*
