15. March

Today is a national holiday here in Hungary, and the whole country celebrates the Revolution of 1848. Everybody wears the cockade, and there are historical movies and other documentaries on TV commemorating this memorable event. There are political rallies where the clowns talk to the mass and try to use the event for their political benefits. Real plonkers.


As for our day, we didn't do much apart from chillaxing a bit, which was just as well. I wasn't in the mood to learn or fiddle with my English studies, so I let this day go completely. After having a tasty meal for lunch, I gave Ági a foot massage and watched the latest episode of The Mandalorian. It wasn't as exciting as the previous episodes, but I hope the next ones will improve. Then we binge-watched three episodes of the latest season of 'Below Deck'. What a lazy day we had...

I feel a lot better today. My stomach could handle the fish we'd eaten for lunch, so I've got high hopes for my complete recovery. The hunger kicked in this afternoon, which is a good sign of being out and about very soon. It was high time...

The weather is terrible today. It's cold, windy, and dark with all those clouds in the sky. Tomorrow seems equally bad, but according to the weather forecast, Saturday will bring some changes, and things will improve. Fingers crossed...

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
