Last night I went to sleep to the bangs and whizzes of fireworks in the neighbourhood. Today's first news story is a good one — Photo gallery: Pets relaxing to RNZ Concert's soothing sounds for Guy Fawkes | RNZ News:
Pets around the country are chilling out to RNZ's annual Guy Fawkes Night Concert for Animals.
All the music has been chosen to calm pets inside on Guy Fawkes night in case they're spooked by the loud noises and flashes of light.
The show will include music written for animals such as 'Mina' by Edward Elgar for his beloved Cairns terrier. 'The Swan' from Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saëns and 'Scene by the Brook' from Beethoven's Pastoral. We haven't forgotten farm animals either, with 'Sheep May Safely Graze', by Johann Sebastian Bach.
