Happy Bonfire Day everyone!



Remember, remember!
The fifth of November,
The Gunpowder treason and plot;
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!

Guy Fawkes and his companions
Did the scheme contrive,
To blow the King and Parliament
All up alive.

Threescore barrels, laid below,
To prove old England's overthrow.
But, by God's providence, him they catch,
With a dark lantern, lighting a match!

Happy Guy Fawks. As it is Guy Fawks was for me yesterday (is 1:38am with me).

Well, sorry to miss the celebration for you then... Still the morning of November 5th here. Have my bonfire ready to light. ^_^

My dog hates bonfire day, she's petrified of all the fireworks and spends the whole day hiding in my room, the poor little thing.

But, even though my dog wouldn't agree, happy bonfire day everyone. ;)
