Monk's Tale

Independence day

Today is the Finnish independence day. The day when whole Finnish population tune their TVs to watch the gala in President castle. The papers for two weeks have had frontpage speculations on whose going and whose going to wear whose designer dress. They have shown all the most horrible dresses from past years, who was the sexiest and who was the most daring....

What a gossip nation we have become, doesn't anyone talk about the day itself, 6.12.1918 we became independent country!! This year there's only 2 Mannerheim knights able to take part to the party. Why not telling about these two knights and what they think about the day.
