Can't stay away from Parkside
More about my job search: out of curiosity I checked out a care home called Parkside. It's an old three storey house that has been turned into a care home. I started casual work there last week. The people are nice but nothing compared to our beloved friends in Parkside, Canada! (See also here and here and here and here.) I just phoned friends in Parkside and I was tempted to hold the phone out the front door so they could hear the fireworks. Apparently fireworks were banned in Northern Ireland for a long time and now they have fireworks almost every night but on the weekend it lasts for hours, and Hallowe'en is, apparently, the time to bring them all out. Tonight it has been going on for the last two and half hours. What they really like is the loud banging that sounds like booms going off. It sounds like fun to have fireworks so often but I think the youth who are setting them off are getting a lot more enjoyment from them than people in their homes and especially the poor dogs that are scared to death!
