One more day until the weekend, one more day until the weekend, one more day until the weekend. But who’s counting, right?

I’m not just counting down the days because I’m tired of working (I love my job, don’t fire me) but also because the weekend forecast is looking gorgeous with highs of 8 C Saturday and 9 C Sunday. Fantastic. Until then, we’re still sitting well above normal for this time of year and forecasters say we should be spared from any crazy wind gusts today. Until tomorrow that is. Then we’re back to 20-40km/h winds. Wind is the worst
