Tomorrow is the start of Diwali which marks the start of the fireworks season. Get ready for a daily "son et lumiere" spectacle in neighbouring gardens for the next couple of monts (Diwali, halloween, guy fawkes, build up to christmas, christmas and new year). Fireworks shops have opened all over the place and we are urged to "impress (our) neighbours" by buying bigger and better than last year. Hummm. Tomorrow is also the start of half-term so I have been searching websites for suitable distractions for The Boy and his lovely au-pair. Because he is easily pleased (he is a boy after all) and I am a bit of a skinflint I have checked out free special events in museums and kept paying activities to a minimum. I have mapped out next week with minutia for maximum impact at minimum cost.
