Fire!

I was in the flat earlier this evening and thought I could smell burning. So I checked all my electrical appliances and lights. No evidence of impending disaster, but the smell remained.

So I went outside, and found a full-blown hullabaloo going on – a building round the corner was on fire, the fire brigade and police were out, and a big crowd had assembled, cameras in hand. Thankfully it is an abandoned building that I think was about to be rennovated, and there were no ambulances around and therefore presumably no casualties.

Dramatic stuff, though. Photos here and here.

So much for the quiet evening.
