It is expected to be the hottest weekend of the year in the NL, and this is both good and bad news. Good is because we are at the sea, we can swim, and there is always quite some nice breeze over there and 4-5 degrees less than in the city. Bad because we will
be sleeping under the roof, in a house not designed for hot weather, but it is not hot yet so the house may still be fresh enough when we arrive. </div>
