Had a fun time making things go boom, fizz, crackle and whoosh this evening. Invited some of the kids friends over to watch which I think adds to the fun. Kids do show their appreciation so well, apart from the toddler who got the life scared out of him by a Roman Candle and howled for the next five minutes. Charlie Stross was down visiting his sister so we had them over too which led to fun conversation afterward about what exactly we were commemorating and does anyone really bother after all these centuries. A conversation that rapidly descended into the usual my tech is more compact than your tech that any conversation between Harry and Charlie tends to do as soon as either of them decides to look something up.
Had even more fun this afternoon making the rack to make things go whoosh from. Our garden has many rocks just under the surface so if you try to hammer in a launch tube for rockets you can almost guarantee it will fall over before enough rockets have been fired so we've made a five shot rack on an a-frame arrangement that can be set up anywhere in the garden. Pictures hopefully to follow once I've downloaded the camera to the Mac and transferred them over.
Took our minds off EasterCon anyway. Now to cuddle the cat, who has not been happy since the berks on Friday night outside at midnight, facing each other with a 3 foot roman candle each and playing gunfighters.
