It's Diwali celebrations this week.
We've had the fireworks racket every night for the last week, centering around 24th October when the noise was unbelievable, as it is every year! The poor mutt is terrified by it all. Strangely, my last dog loved it all and begged to go out and see and hear the fireworks.Quote:

I love some vegetable dishes for the fact they celebrate them cauliflower, broccoli, courgettes, etc , I also love a decent baked bean lasagne or vegetable curry.
So why if I don't want to eat meet do I have to pretend I do by eating plant based "pork" sausages !
If I'm a vegan, vegetarian, piscatorian or plant based thats my choice. If I want a 12oz prime Angus Fillet Steak thats my choice.

Non-flesh meals are fine by me, although I'm not vegetarian.
i like a bit of meat i have to say; not being big on a lot of veg, its just as well lol. quite like a veg lasagne if done right.
24th October was Diwali. Hindu’s celebrate Diwali with fireworks.
Being a religious festival is no excuse - it could still be done with an organised display. To quote Wikipedia: "It symbolises the spiritual victory of light over darkness, good over evil, knowledge over ignorance" Well they were clearly ignorant of my cat's wellbeing.Quote:

Well I suppose it had to happen.
This afternoon I was working on an upstairs window, and i fell off the ladder, about 3 metres. Or rather the ladder slid away with me on it. Got a rather large gash on my left shin ("Is that white bit a tendon?" "No I think it's a bone") So a trip to A&E. Was able to drive my van as it's an automatic.
Four bloody hours there, including tetanus jab, (third jab in eight days) clean inside the wound (that smarted a bit), and an x-ray (no fractures :)) All the staff there look fresh out of school. The radiologist looked at my outer calf muscle and exclaimed "Wow, what's happened there?" "Nothing's happened, that's my shape":( Ok I know my shape generally won't get me on the cover of "Men's Health", but really?
Mrs. P met me there, and told me I was very brave. Didn't get a lollipop or a sticker though.
Anyway, after tomorrow I'm holiday for a week. Which is just as well.
