Yep, Queensday was of course the most fucked-up ever. We have been waiting for our queen to come to Apeltown for a long time. I remember that i used to wonder as a kid when she would come to our town. And then my dad would say that the chance was very small because there are so many other places she could visit. It made me sad that i couldn't be there. ...and then this tragedy occurs. Just sad.
I followed the news on internet. There was an interview with the husband of one of the victims on an internet tv-channel. He didn't have a grudge against the attacker at all. He is also a human being. ...is what he said. That was so beautiful. So unexpected and beautiful. That there exist people with such compassion.
Also had missed Q-day at the embassy. Was the night before....
But then there's Vappu. A bit of the same. People out on the streets. Drinking and stuff. Less orange, more white hats. And picnicking. So, that's what we did. Crowd-picnicking and free ice-cream.
Aight.
Apeltown forever! Oranje forever!
