...SKY LANTERNS!
Yep, I've bought some, I've got some and I've given some. I haven't use one myself yet- for fear of this happening! Apparently they won't set fire to 'anything' but who knows. This one has been in a tree down the road for- oh, about a month now. It hasn't set fire to anything but it sure doesn't look too pretty hanging there.
I got the biodegradable ones and I'm looking forward to going to the seaside to light it and set it afloat- it's made with ricepaper (good fish food) and bamboo sticks and has a wool wick and nothing bad. Well, nothing bad but a naked flame. And I'm supposed to call the coast guard to let them know if I let it off at the beach. And not let it go around dry crops (but I thought it wouldn't set fire to anything?) and I'm actually not supposed to look at it so I might just leave it for now.
Why?
I think they are in my life for a tease and a taunt and nothing else. They surely won't do anyone any damage sitting in their wrappers in my cupboard. At least until it's safe to use them. I'm sure I'll get the memo.
