17th of May

I hate this day. I love the fact that I am lucky enough to live in a sovereign country, and that we have a constitution to celebrate. I love the fact that we have lived in peace since 1945. I do! But I hate this day. Lord give me strength to get through the neverending parades. The neverending rain. The people. Oh - all the people! The national costume that gets so heavy after a while. The rain. The neverending rain. Yes, I do love this country. But I hate this day.
