Greysummer Madness

It's Vaarallinen juhannus ("Dangerous Midsummer") again. Midsummer is a huge public holiday in Finland, and all the shops and offices are closed. It is pretty much impossible to find an open restaurant. People escape the city to travel to their summer cottages or visit relatives. The streets of Helsinki are suddenly empty, except for confused tourists (trying to find a loo that's open) and wild greyhounds with their servants.

With no traffic, Tara got to choose where we'll walk. We never knew she'd want to start a political career. Here's her new office, Parliament House.
Her steps were very determined when approaching the main entrance.
"What the retriever? It's closed! A summer break??! In the middle of the summer...?? Oh, bugger."
She decided to take a rest outside Musiikkitalo opposite the Parliament House. Servants were told to keep an eye on the office in case it the summer break ends, Tara spent her time looking good in case any possible voters or concerned citizens need her advice.

What the retriever, indeed... (How about "What the rottweiler?" when things get really rough?)

I have to say, I'd vote for you any day!
