thanks for your message.

yeah 1 july is going to be great. not sure if i can make it to trafalgar square but will definitely turn up at the maple leaf on saturday

cant wait :)


Have a drink for me there then. I will be hosting my annual Canada Day BBQ in my back garden. complete with fireworks.

One thing I learned about fireworks, rockets are very loud if they detonate in your back garden and not in the sky. :D

It was a blast, figuratively and literally.

Although I did seem to spend all day and night manning the BBQ, hazards of hosting. although it kept me close to the cold Moosehead, so that was a bonus. ;)

Fireworks were a tad more subdued this year, aside from 'Thor's Hammer' which was definately a packaged meant for a bigger area than our back garden. still no complaints from the neigbourhood so all is good.

Hope you had a good day as well.
