A party isn't a party unless there are sparklers


And a party isn't a party unless a dodgy plastic chair gives way under a guest.

And then that guest grabs the table to stop himself falling.

And then the table lurches alarmingly, sending everybody's glasses flying across the table, cascading liquid onto the floor.

However, no glasses broke!

Until later, when another guest, on his way out, banged the table and knocked off a wine balloon, sending glass shards scattering across the floor.

And a party certainly isn't a party unless the remaining guests stay until 2 in the morning, singing along to old daggy favourites on YouTube.

PS If you're wondering why I'm not holding a sparkler, it's because I am always convinced that they are going to take my eyes out. Now the secret's out.

  5. Fabulous photo.
    Another reason to be scared of sparklers: NEVER grab them when they are lit, sitting on the cake, they give horrible burns.
    Sounds like a good party!

    Hehehe - and what about the obligatory neighbour's dog barking to wake up the neighbourhood when everyone is saying their goodbyes out the front? Looks like you had a great bash!
