There's just three days to go and the fireworks are flying outside.

They're going Wheeeeee, Pop, Kapow, Whoosh and Blam.

I almost bought some sparklers from Poundland on Monday but I worried they might want to see ID to prove I'm over 18, and I didn't have any on me.

And I didn't have a responsible adult with me.

I was just walking down Kilburn High Road and suddenly there was "ZOOOOM!" "KRAKOWPOW!!" "WHZZZZZZZZ-POP-POP-POPPOP!" "ZIIIIP-WHOOSH-KA-BLAP!!!!!" from the other side of the shops.

It's that special night of year.

I think most people used up their fireworks at the weekend.

Tonight's offering has been quite underwhelming so far.

I've not seen any bonfires from my perch overlooking the city.

I shall light one on this forum to make up for it.

There it is.

I checked for hedgehogs first.

Here they are.

I've just come back into what looks like a total warzone!

Then I remembered, it was Liverpool I'd arrived in.

Sunday was the peak night here. Tonight and Saturday were about equal, Friday made a showing.

Plenty of fireworks still going off.

Why did they not set them off last night? It would have prevented it being such a letdown.

It's sort of Guy Fawkes Night!

At least, all those fireworks outside think it is!
