Guy Fawkes fire call outs
As the booms, pops and bangs ease off after another Guy Fawkes weekend, the number of Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) call outs are in.
Over the weekend from Friday night, FENZ attended five call outs across the Selwyn and Ashburton districts. On Sunday night, throughout Canterbury, there were only five call outs related to fireworks.

Response to regifting presents
My mind tends to wander:
I do not see any problem with regifting it back to the person who gave it, they obviously liked it. In fact, that might work out well as you buy the present you want, then gift it to someone you know who will gift it back.
Perfect, no decision needs to be made about Xmas presents
