21:56:46 Here's Chie, Kevin and Mike in what everybody's now calling the kitchen.
21:58:03 Chie in a worringly maniacal self portrait.
21:58:18 I like the contrast here between smiley and accomodating (Kevin and Mike) and wielding a knife (me).
21:58:25 A shot of Chie from up on high.
21:59:02 Me looking like I'm about to take the camera back.
21:59:07 Mike looking very aloof.
21:59:13 Kevin does a good impression of Pob, and I can't bear to not be in the shot.
21:59:19 What an interesting landscape. Erm.
22:00:26 (Insert your own Ray Winstone style gangster spiel here)
22:02:56 The fun of dangerous knives never seems to run out.
22:04:14 David, Simon and Richard putting together a small, but highly focused, band of angry yokels.
22:04:40 Scientists in the 1950s could never have predicted quite how difficult it would be to get a picture of Vanessa threatening me with a brush.
22:04:53 I think this was a failed attempt at the Vanessa/Brush scenario, but still, let's take a moment to appreciate those paving slabs.
22:05:04 Got there in the end, and I'm rather pleased with it.
22:05:54 There was far more fun to be had with assorted garden utensils. This time as an added bonus it looks slightly suspicious as well.
22:06:06 This obviously made complete sense to me at the time, however looking back now I really haven't the faintest clue what's going on.
22:06:42 Chie, as a low budget Harry Potter.
22:07:29 Chie spent the evening stealing Kevin's clothes. So far she's just got his scarf, it seems.
22:10:00 Apparently Vanessa's first ever sparkler. That's what they all say.
22:10:33 General sparkler activity is occurring - I think that's Rosie's shoulder there.
22:10:38 Don't come near me - I've got a sparkler and I'm not afraid to use it!
22:10:45 I think this was around the time I asked if these things were poisonous.
22:10:55 It's almost gone out by the looks of things.
22:11:05 Rosie and Bazza enjoying their sparklers.
22:11:14 I'm hoping this smoke isn't entirely generated by the cigarette in Mike's hand here.
22:11:24 Mike, doing his stunned rabbit impression.
22:11:36 Chie getting stuck into some red wine.
22:11:44 Yet more fun with sparklers...
22:11:53 It's very hard to resist taking pictures of these things...
22:12:25 Here's a sparkler, unusually stuck in the grass.
22:12:40 Without the flash.
22:12:55 The annual meeting of the Reading Sparkler Appreciation Society.
22:46:00 Not really sure.
22:49:56 Barry, believing he can fly I presume.
22:52:34 A touching picture of me and Barry.
22:52:54 Barry was quite suprised I could actually pick him up, if I recall correctly.
22:53:07 Strange feeling of perspective here.
22:53:14 Kevin and Mike, getting a bit tasty.
22:55:04 Mike also seems to be labouring under the misapprehension that he can fly. Perhaps it was all that chemically smoke from those fireworks.
22:57:34 I think this is meant to be a bout of back yard wrestling.
22:57:57 Tossing the caber doesn't traditionally form part of the Bonfire night celebrations...
22:58:04 It's meant to look like it's become stuck in my eye, I believe. A reference to the series of pictures with forks in my eye I used to take. Errr, well perhaps you had to be there.
22:58:23 Me and that fence post formed a very special relationship.
22:58:33 Mike, pensive.
23:11:22 Looks like we've succumb to the cold and wisely moved inside.
23:13:38 A jolly nice buffet was laid on by David and co.
23:15:01 More wine required, it seems.
23:53:26 Me Chie and Kevin were getting the train back, so here we are at the station. I think this is probably me trying to prove I had definitely bought a ticket.
23:56:44 A blurry picture of me and Kevin, presenting the information screen, as though it were a prize on a daytime quiz show.
23:56:51 Perhaps slightly too close to Kevin here.
23:56:56 What strange colours people's skin seems to take on at this distance, with the flash and everything.
23:57:03 A rather frightening picture of Chie to end on.
