Today has been the year’s hottest day. I’m not sure what the official temperatures are, and in any case they only apply to shade, whereas in reality it feels like there is no shade to be found. We are stewing.

Luckily we’re just about to leave the country for a nice, cool, refreshing week in Iceland. It should be around 10–15 C there, which will be a nice change. And long hours of daylight.

It’s a place that both of us have long wanted to visit, but never gotten around to. I had always had in mind a trip full of walking and climbing, but I guess we might have to limit that a bit. The walking boots are in the pack, in any case.

So this place will be quiet until next Sunday at least.
