Paranoid or what?

[Prepaday]

For the past 2 nights, I have heard what I thought was rapid gunfire. I also heard a lot of singing and music coming from the pub at the top of the street, which by the way is a really, really long street. So I thought maybe they are having fireworks? maybe a party?
This morning aprox 10.30 I went out to hang the washing, Again, I heard what was either fireworks, gun fire or thunder..not likely as it is sunny out. What on Earth is going on?
I'm not sure if there is an army shooting range nearby and if so..why all the gun fire? I have been here 5 years and never heard it.
Is something going on? hmmm, ponder, ponder!
