or whatever its official name is - it's the birthday of the EU, when all the plentyful minions of the Eurocracy get the day off to hum the Hymn, you know Beethoven's Ode to Joy. Probably grill something and swill some Mosel, too.
Yeah, grill&swill! What Joy indeed.
Maybe fireworks after dark. There's a guy in Sweden who "plays" fireworks to philharmonic orchestra, especially of course Händel. IIRC his name is Eje Berglund and he appears in a starry tailsuit. Most impressive at midnight near mid-summer, if you are prepared for the mosquitoes. |
