All Is Quiet On New Year's Day

We'd been invited to a neighbour's house for a few schnifters but I thought it better to stay home with the dogs in case the fireworks distressed them.  There were so many fireworks - who knew 8.25 GMT was midnight somewhere? - it was like World War III.   And the dogs slept through it. 

I lit the candles for a bit of ambience, but that drew the attention of the puppy and I immediately had to blow them out or risk the house burning down.  Happy new year.
