I decided that I shouldn't go to Paris for the weekend. I really haven't been feeling well. My head has been all fuzzy and my ears have been plugged. Next week I have to plan a trip to Glasgow and many other of my usual meetings and appointments. If I would have gone I wouldn't be up to doing my job, the job the Lord has called me to.
Many people can't believe I have up an opportunity to go, but there will be other opportunities.
Guy Fawkes and Bonfire Night
November 5th is known as Bonfire and Guy Fawkes night in the UK. In 1605 a man by the name of Guy Fawkes tried to overtake parliament by setting kegs on gunpowder off. They were captured and put to death. Starting that same year people started celebrating by lighting bonfires and burning effigies of Guy Fawkes and through time fireworks have been added.
Tonight there are fireworks being lit all over town. It is really cool to see. There is no such thing as illegal fireworks here and they are easy to come by. I think they will be going off for a long time.
We could have gone to the foot of Arthur's seat and got a good view of the fireworks, but it is way too cold and wet out there to even think about that.
