Dutch Health and Safety being its usual wet blanket-ty self , the limit on firework purchase per person has been set at 10 kilos . Hardly enough to make yourself heard over your neighbours . It's enough to make you get together with your buddies , pool your resources , and stuff the cache in a millk churn and set them all off at once , like dashing young lads do in the villages .
We 'll be at home , wearing earmuffs and circumspectly sipping a small sherry and avoiding the cholesterol -laden Olieballen ....
But wherever you are and however you'll be celebrating , I wish you a convivial New Year's Eve and a healthy , prosperous and very happy 2010 .
Happy new year to you, too! Actually, 10K of firewoks sound quite a lot. My sons managed to blow a hole in a car park (long story) with much less when they were kids (I must add tht I have only just found out about this, 20 years on).

ReplyDelete"2010"?
ReplyDeleteSorry , it must be the excitement of seeing our 20 kilos of sparklers piled up by the front door ...
I thought you'd opted for a Time Warp in the Tardis! LOL. But ten or twelve, have a good one! ♥
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, one and all - no matter which year it is. No fireworks at our house - we'll be content to watch them over the city, from a distance.
ReplyDeleteOh, what difference from one year to another, after all...?
ReplyDeleteHusband and I considered hosting a get together for three or four hundred of our closest friends, but then we reconsidered and decided to go to bed at 8pm as always.
Happy New Year, All!
Fireworks are illegal here in Oregon so you can bet there will be plenty of them tonight! Happy New Year to one and all!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, hope it's 2012! I did hear fireworks and it was way past my bedtime! Fuddy Duddy, here!
