Both worked fine. That is a picture of one of my friends, David, who was up at my place to see in the new year.
At midnight we all watched the fireworks - both the legal, city-sponsored fireworks at the showground, and the dozens of (in many cases even more spectacular) illegal private fireworks displays around the area.
After that, David fired up the bagpipes and we disturbed the neighbours for a while longer - then my daughter (side-drummer from a couple of other pipe and drum bands) and he played merry hell for a while. A good time was had by all.
