I don't always reschedule Haar hearings; But when I do, I make sure it's a Friday before 4th of July
Also recall the events of July 2019 (smokescreen in the media): Index: G 2/19 (Enlarged Board of Appeal, EPO)

Summary: There's a hearing next week and the timing is a bit interesting (journalists away from their desks, most English-speaking lawyers also on holiday)
