July 4th... Independence Day!

For most it's a public holiday today. I on the other hand had to work! The restaurant business doesn't stop serving food because it's a public holiday. We were actually busier than expected, the weather has been very hot over the last few weeks. Rather than barbequing in 37°C (100°F in the old system), people have opted to eat indoors in the airconditioning!
Fireworks are usually let off today also, but because of the dry spell some councils have canceled their shows. Things are quite dry and the slightest spark could start a fire. Dave bought our usual supply of fireworks, but I don't think we will set them off either, there are a lot of brown lawns and cedar roofs around us...so may be just some sparklers for the kids.
Happy 4th of July!
