We are also in for a (hopefully) quite night ourselves, but unfortunately our two dogs are petrified of fireworks and there always seems to be an unofficial competition in our area for who can have the loudest/longest display. We plan to eat & then turn in early and hopefully get some sleep before being disturbed by two frightened/angry dogs around midnight. Poor Mrs V is getting up just before 3 AM to go to work, she's not expecting much sleep after being disturbed...
A Happy & Healthy New Year to you all. Thanks for all of the fun and thought provoking/bamboozling puzzles that have helped to make 2021 more bearable
