Guy Fawkes Night

It's almost midnight and there's still fireworks going off - there was supposed to be some law against people setting them off after a certain time at night, but as with may other "laws", some people couldn't care less and neither could the police.

So, on 5th Nov 1605, Guy Fawkes and a group of conspirators attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. Are we are celebrating Fawkes' execution or honoring his attempt to do away with the government. Having seen the private expenses recently of members of parliament, the whole bloody lot of them could do with being gotten rid of!

Well, the day passed quickly at work - in fact the whole week seems to have flown by. The South African lady at our work left on Weds; her husband's got a job down in Kent - best wishes to her down there, hear it's very nice.

Had a quick session at the gym, which was almost empty as everyone (apart from me) was outside watching the fireworks exhibition. Was able to go on all the equipment I wanted to go on, without having to wait! :)

Got a load of housework to do this weekend. Also, need to work on my NaNoWriMo novel - haven't even done my second chapter and on less than 2000 words! :( I'll deffo do some writing and hope I don't get writer's block!

Manchester derby on Sunday - this is when I say "Come on the Blues"! I'm not bitter, honest! :)
