Today is Queens Day in the Netherlands. The day we celebrate the birthday of our Queen Beatrice. Actually it isn’t her birthday it’s the birthday of the last queen before Beatrice.
Beatric’s birthday is at the 31th of January which usually a very cold and wet day. Not a day you would want to go down town and have a party.
Queens day is usually celebrated by organizing an outdoor free market and games for children and a day off work and drinking a little more then you should for adults.
Which is why I’m writing this article at 1:20 PM.
I’m planning to go down town somewhere in the next hour. Look at the games children are playing and visit my favorite bar and stay there a little longer then I should.
So chances are that I won’t be making a drawing today.
