A Lion Dance, Fireworks and a Wedding

Spent the early part of the evening watching a lion dance - two lions, with the poles and acrobatics - a very fine affair. Always feel sorry for the people who get hit by the shredded vegetables afterwards, although no doubt it signifies oodles of good fortune for the coming year.

Then the fireworks...I know I probably say this every year...but this year they really were fantastic. I would, however, like to see the sponsoring company one year, making a massive donation to charity in lieu of the fireworks - this is relevant particulary for the brown-nosing fireworks that occur on 1st October.

And finally, this.....the British Royal Wedding of 2005. The star crossed lovers are going to tie the knot, 34 years after they first met. If they had done this originally (virgin or no virgin) the Royal Family would probably be in slightly better nick and a certain Lady Diana Spencer may still have been frolicking around the English Shires. Who know...fate is a very strange thing.
