It is not the Queens birthday, but we celebrate is nevertheless. With the whole city becoming a marketplace, a massive concert hall.
It starts the night before the "Birthday". I would like to be there right now. But my kidneys decided to hurt, so I just decided to stay at home and catch up with friends online.
This occasion in town also attracts many other people who actually do not live here and they all want to catch up. It´s a nice period, also because it´s already spring and it´s a public holiday.
Basically, this day mark the beginning to festivities in the city - BBQs in parks, outdoor festivals, enjoying a white beer on the terrace of a cafe after work... oh, Queen´s day marks the beginning of the fun part of the year.
And about the rest of the year...let´s not think about it now.
So, let me go back to watching tv and sweating to get cured so that I can dive into the joyful city tomorrow morning!
The thing is, the city is too crowded to meet the people you are actually looking for. But there is a good chance you run into many others, almost forgotten acquaintances!
Long live the Queen!
Busy
Spring is here and it feels like you have to do 200 things at the same time - pick up dusty hobby projects and bring them back to light, take a few personal development courses (that you don´t find the time to do homework for), finally ask the physiotherapist about the cure to your back pain, visit friends in neighboring countries, get your family to visit you for a celebration, celebrate the Queen´s birthday and sigh with relief that you won´t vote in the national elections.
And this is just a start - organize and attend parties, dinners, BBQs, lend a shoulder to your friends who do not see the joy in the spring and - goes without saying - perform beyond anyone´s expectation at work.
Yeyyy, so much fun! Going to have a drink to celebrate activity :-)
