Went out with some friends to their kids school for a firework display. I seem to have rediscovered my liking for fireworks in the last few weeks after a couple of years of disliking them based on what I say was an increasing desire by the firework makers for less interesting spectacles in favour of larger bangs. But now there seems to be a reversal, going for pretty displays rather than trying to sound like downtown Baghdad. But a darkened school field, with entrance available to anyone who paid at the gate, my friends said after the display as they tried to find their kids, who had run off with friends as soon as we arrived, that it was difficult not to think of situations like Soham at times like this.
