The first fireworks is a week Saturday but the preparations are beginning now along with the blue fences around the gardens which would be nice to do without…however. We aren't tired of the fireworks yet but many people in the neighbourhood could quite nicely do without it especially those with animals.
Yesterday evening, Jim got chatting to the old fellow we see all the time walking his Scotty dog. We figured the dog was pretty old because he's pretty slow. He's only 9 years old so I guess he has arthritis. The dog's name is Roadie and the fellow's name is Walter. The noise really bothers the dog so he takes him out of the area and he was a young child living in Dusseldorf during the massive bombing raid so he's not keen on the noise either.
