Go, goo, gooo

Charlette hasn't replied to my previous email yet, which makes me a bit anxious. I hope they are all right on the other side of the world. Anyway, should she not be able to offer more lessons, I must come up with a viable solution to my CPE preparation. I'll have a test lesson today with Issaiyanee and tomorrow with Raylene to see which one we are compatible with. In the meantime, I'll write a letter to Charlette to ask about their plans. I miss her classes terribly.

Other than that, I went through the eighth lesson about 'GO'. There weren't any new phrasal verbs in the latest chapter; however, there were a few meanings I needed to familiarize myself with. I will jot down the two most interesting ones, as the whole topic of 'GO' is rather long:
  • TO GO ABOUT
    • to often be in a particular state or behave in a particular way
    • to continue to do something; to keep busy with something
    • to spread from person to person
    • to start working on something
  • TO GO IN FOR SOMETHING
    • to do something regularly, or to enjoy something
    • to take an exam or enter a competition; to take part in an exam
    • to have something as an interest or a hobby

Today was sunny but cold, and even though the sun shone, the temperature was hardly above 0°C. No wonder Abby wasn't thrilled about going out for a longer walk. Ági went about teaching at the university today after a three-month-long break. She has a terribly long schedule, so I'm sure she'll feel knackered by the end of the day.

Keskiviikko 🇫🇮 Miðvikudagur 🇮🇸

My new bridge is in my mouth. It took the doc almost an hour to meticulously and precisely fit it in and cement it. I wasn't allowed to eat for three hours, and I still can't chew anything on the left side of my jaw. However, my dental features are ship-shape-and-shiny. Only one tooth is left: they need to replace the old filling. Once it's done, I'll have a Hollywood-type smile. Before the dental care, I went through the lesson plan I'd prepared the other day for today. When I returned home from the dentist, I took Abby for her afternoon walk and drove to Budapest to teach. Before arriving at where I taught, I popped into a store to buy some "kifli" for later and four "Túró Rudi" to appease my rumbling stomach.  After teaching, I hurried back home, grabbed two "kifli", some butter and plum jam, and ate like a king. It was already pitch dark when we returned from our evening walk with Abby. I hate the early dusks. However, summer tries

Goodbye 2023 - Hello 2024

2023 has been an interesting year for many reasons. There were ups and downs, good and bad times, laughter and tears, but most importantly, us being together. During the last few years, I've noticed that we can overcome any obstacles together, which is a fantastic and soothing thought. Come 2024, for better or worse, together we will solve everything. May the world be a better place in 2024.

GRAZ - day 1 - 🇦🇹

We are in Graz, as Ági’s linguist conference starts tomorrow. We woke up early in the morning. I had to de-ice the cars, which took an hour. Once I finished the job, Ági took Abby to the dog sitter, and I packed my things for the weekend. Abby didn’t want to stay at the dog-sitter - poor thing - but Ági’s callousness conquered her temper tantrum. Travelling to Austria is always a pleasure. The roads were clean, the traffic was not heavy, and taking the scenic route was a brilliant decision. We could have opted for the Balaton route, but the northern direction seemed a better choice. We stopped at an unknown little village, where the shopping mall was phenomenal. We grabbed a coffee and stretched our legs because sitting in a car for hours is not the best thing in the world. Anyway, we arrived at the hotel - which looks great - safe and sound. The room is small but clean, however, the area is a bit dodgy. It’s close to the main train station, which attracts many people, so it is a busy
