19:23:44 David thought it best to finish burying his ex wife before any of the guests arrived.
19:24:11 That poor lawn...
19:34:43 Do you think it's lit yet...?
19:53:05 Given that I was busy igniting the fireworks (and myself) I didn't really get a lot of pictures of them.
20:13:20 I can see definite signs of rain by this point.
20:16:59 Still, the inclement weather and dangerous explosives doesn't seem to have detered these plucky fellows from venturing outside...
20:17:10 You can't beat a contrived group photo.
20:17:22 Actually, I'd like to withdraw my previous comment. It appears you can beat a contrived group photo by having two, and one being better than the other, if you see what I mean.
20:22:02 I was going for a Luke Skywalker vs Darth Vader look. Somehow I don't really think the girls' hearts were in it.
20:22:16 Yep it's definitely raining. I guess that's where having a gas powered barbeque comes in handy.
20:22:25 Erm. No point to this picture. Still though, rotating washing lines eh?
20:47:44 A number of people assist in dismantling a broom (or was it a mop?) handle to use as a launching tube for rockets.
21:02:44 David, barely visible through the smoke.
21:10:12 Erm, there may be a firework going off amongst all that smoke somewhere.
21:10:23 I'm pretty sure there's fireworks there. Ooooh, aaaaah etc.
21:10:34 Nope, no idea what (if anything) is going on here.
21:14:05 David looking ever so slightly shell shocked.
21:14:13 The grand finale. This was called a howling great super mega apocalypse or something like that. Here it is before...
21:17:06 ...and after. Unfortunately I seemed to have neglected to photograph any of the actual fireworks that came out of it. Ho, hum.
21:17:13 Well it's all over, so probably time to go inside.
21:17:25 I thought I'd survey the debris a bit.
21:19:34 Simon, with a mop.
21:19:54 Simon, putting a mop back together. Certainly this set of pictures are amongst the most mop-featuring I've ever taken.
21:52:50 Inside, and in David's lounge now. I thought I'd pass the camera around to try and get everyone in the room.
21:53:02 Errr, not sure what the folks over there are looking at. Blueprints for a radically new type of peanut? A jelly shaped like the Taj Mahal? A retired fishmonger's collection of pencil shavings?
21:53:14 Andy's attempts at levitation were a little disappointing. But nice try nonetheless.
21:53:33 We managed to get a passing crocodile to take this photo for us, with an impressive effect.
21:54:00 The evident risks of letting other people do the photography for you.
21:54:11 That's a bit better. Well done.
21:55:16 Errrr, did we mention the delay...?
21:56:53 This is nicely done, obviously someone with a bit of know how taking this one.
22:01:23 Simon fails yet again to recruit for his new religous cult centred around Peter Duncan.
22:03:02 There seemed to be a myriad of snack food present.
22:03:25 Interesting...
22:03:44 ...but what's everybody else drinking?
22:04:02 Andy decides, as a strategy to cut down on alcohol intake, he's going to mime drinking for the rest of the evening.
22:04:14 ...so one might assume this is part of an attempt to give up playing the guitar...?
22:05:13 Interesting multi-layered effect here. Nicely done.
22:05:44 For some crazy reason this picture brings The A-Team to mind. I have no idea why.
22:07:56 Stuart looking very much the dominant male here.
22:31:58 ...just in case Andy wasn't sure why his hair had got shorter the next morning...
