Wednesday. Tomas has the forecast for next week, festival week, on his screen: Monday rain, 12 degrees; Tuesday sun, 20 degrees. What is it like at home now? And in winter here? Minus 20. And in summer, where do people go? To the sea, to the lake, to their grandmother's in the country.

Wednesday morning in the office. Tomas has the forecast open on his screen, and a notebook beside it.

Rytą saulė, paskui lietus, vakare vėjas. Ir gal sniegas.

Tomas
Balandį čia būna visko. Todėl aš turiu keturis krepšius.
In April anything can happen here. That's why I have four bags.

Vienas saulei, vienas lietui, vienas vėjui ir vienas sniegui.
One for the sun, one for the rain, one for the wind and one for the snow.
Tomai, jums reikia vieno didesnio krepšio.
Tomas, what you need is one bigger bag.
