It seemed much quieter here tonight.
I was indoors, but have heard the noise on previous Thursdays. This time I heard the church bells, and a faint sound of clapping, but no honking horns and vuvuzelas or the like, which were sounding as it all got more competitive.
I looked out of the window, and the people opposite were there - I may have just chosen an opportune moment, but they were craning their necks to see to the top and bottom of the street so that they could check on who had come out. I was in two minds, as this was the last one, but I'm pleased I didn't do it.
