I'm awake! I used to get strong tranquilisers for the dog from the vets at fireworks time - never really worked properly, she just used to bump into all the furniture a lot. Considered taking them myself instead!

There is no answer to that.

From 20 August through to 8 September everyone here survives on 3 or 4 hours of sleep a night so most of the locals make sure that they do not have to go to work.

Ah Fiestas what a joy! NOT! Call me a party pooper but what is the infatuation with BANGERS!

Our village Fiesta starts tomorrow and I am dreading it. My two dogs hide in the bathroom all week shaking and won't come out without serious cajoling because of the bangers reverbrating day and night!

Fireworks, fine! Bad Spanish singers fine! Out of tune village bands at 8am fine! But god help me from bangers!

Bring on the Rioja, ear plugs and neurotic dogs! :thumbdown:
