Yeah, we are getting a bit blustery although on Sunday the temperature started to rise up again.
So we've done the fireworks tonight, although I will say they were pitiful this year.
We didn't get as many as we normally do but there wasn't a lot of fizz or sparkle. John said we would have had more fun with those cake candles that erupt when you light them. 
The fireworks I can hear through the window at the minute sound fab. I say hear, they must be loud because I can only hear properly through one ear as the other one is all bunged up, I feel like I've had my head stuck under water and the water hasn't come out. 
We're also back on online food shopping again so we tried another delivery today, which we ordered yesterday, (just saying 
) I'm really impressed with everything they brought and the stuff had really good dates on it. Apparently, the driver was telling us it was picked by robots. So thank you Mr Robot you have saved me time and impulse buying around the store.
Now that I've finished with my friends cake things should start getting back to normal so I think this week after posting everything I need to on here I may start to make a Christmas list.....of what I'm getting other people that is.
Are you still cruising Bill? I assume you meant in your car with the wind in your hair and the tunes blaring away.

Hehe John still hasn't worked out how to work his media system on the new car, think it's got CD player, Bluetooth, Radio, he hasn't even worked out the clock yet and it's lucky he doesn't do any night time driving as he's only just found out what you have to use to dip the headlights.
That's the only problem with modern cars they are so full of technical gadgetry it can be a bit daunting for someone who's not that technically minded.

Don't think the screen is as big as that on ours, I'd have to go out and look to know, I don't go in it. One good thing on it is the sensors at the back so when you're reversing they bleep to let you know how close you are to things, the faster the bleep the closer you are to the object. It's a 2012 Fiat Punto, I mean even the darn key does more than just lock and unlock the doors and start the thing. 
The beeping reversing sensors drive me crazy on the small car, I think they can actually be a hindrance rather than a help sometimes. I too still have problems with the gadgets in the car. I went to pick Han up the other day and managed to fog all the windows up in the car. After faffing with the controls for five mins we ended up driving home with the windows down so we could see where we going because I couldn't shift it.

It's so sad about the fires and people losing their lives and homes. 
I hope they get it under control soon, bless them, the fire teams and first responders must be working on overdrive! Here's hoping everyone can stay safe. raying:
@A Guy, that is a very smoky picture, I'm sure there is a very sombre mood to go with it.
