Sky lantern mayhem

[yoshie]

I tried the lantern thing again.

First one, when it eventually got airborne, crashed into 2 gardens before buggering off into the night sky. Nae doubt it'll have destroyed something. on its way

The second one. Well, we lit it, let it get warm enough so we had to kind of hold it down, let it go; then the chaos began.

It floated about 10 feet into the air, then headed back towards the house. Once it hit the house, it dropped down to about 6 feet and nipped into next door's garden, where it decided to gain a bit more hight. It started slowly rising towards the next door neighbour's next door neighbour's OPEN upstairs window. Luckily it was too big to actually get in to the house.

Anyway, once it had re-crashed, it started to drop again and decided to wrap its self round next door's phone wire. Obviously the bit with the flame was next to the wire.

So, armed with a clothes pole, I went into next door's garden and unraveled the, now burning, lantern. Hopped back over the fence. Swore a lot, put the fire out and went back into the house; only to find my brand new slippers were covered in dog sh1t from next door's garden.

Been a fcukin' brilliant year so far!

Ha, I raise you a pentathlon, two rounds of 5 a side, table tennis and a dozen games of ten pin. Drunk and Knackered I got to bed at 7am.

Here is hoping mums house is a lot calmer today than Alans was last night.

Party at mine Sunday night Andy if you and Shirley fancy it.
