Motherfawking Night

[dotinthesky]

• There was a HUGE fireworks display right next door, at Victoria Park.
  
• It sounded like Americans decided to bomb the park and our apartment, plus the whole neighbourhood, got covered with smoke.
  
• The alarms of neighbourhood cars sprung to life.
  
• We are not at the park because Kevin is still sick.
  
• I can see amusement park attractions glowing above Victoria Park's trees. I want to go on the bumpy cars.
  
• I could hear a crowd in the park cheering once the fireworks ended.
  
• Mushroom clouds and sparkles are still bursting all over London. If today is going to be like yesterday, it won't stop until 11pm and, tomorrow morning, the city will rise with a thick powder smog.

Nah we didn't take any money, we just wanted to see the fireworks.

It was incredibly crowded there, I'm surprised they got away with it, it took about 20 minutes to get to the exit. And of course they hadn't closed the roads there so traffic was piled up for ages.

The pub on the corner opposite the entrance used to be an organic one but seems not to be any more :(

I saw the line of stuck cars from our kitchen window. Messy.

I haven't been to that pub yet. There's another one, at the northwest corner (where Grove Road leaves the park), which looks like a nice place for a sunday lunch. During the summer, you'd see a nice mix of people sitting outdoors. There's also a great cafe nearby -- Elbow Cafe -- which is nice play to sit and people watch.
