+19°C

I feel a bit better today compared to how I'd felt the day before. The night wasn't too bad, and I didn't even wake up. However, my energy level and mood, hand in hand, reached an all-time low which does my head in. I'm neither hungry nor thirsty, which is weird, so my menu today consisted of four bananas, some rice and a couple of pints of Isostar. I hope I get well soon. I took Abby for her afternoon walk, and I was knocking about like an old confused pensioner. What concerns me more is that Ági shows similar symptoms, so fingers crossed that she didn't catch this nasty virus.

I reviewed the first lesson from the 'Straight to Advanced' book and am ready to continue. Nevertheless, the advanced phrasal verbs, collocations, and idioms books caught my attention, too. It is high time that I started to revise and finish them as well.

I read an interesting article today about the Pioneer plaques, more precisely The Golden Records sent to space a couple of decades ago aboard the Pioneer 10 and 11 spaceships in the hope of reaching Saturn and Jupiter and, should they leave the solar system and inadvertently find any extraterrestrial life, they could explain to them who and where we are in the solar system. I don't know if any other life forms out there intelligent enough to seize, read, and interpret such information would want to come to Earth and have a pleasant chit-chat with us while sipping a nice cup of tea and having some biscuits. Suppose there are intelligent life forms to capture this message; they might be technologically more advanced, which means they already know about us. And as they haven't contacted us yet - only in the phantasies and stories of some exceptionally highly imaginative writers - the chances of them striving to contact us are practically null.

Anyway, the weather was lovely today. It was sunny and warm at +19°C, but the afternoon brought inclement weather. Right now, a yellow alert is in effect, and we expect massive rain with gale-force wind. The sky is dark grey, and the ominous clouds don't look too good. I'm not happy...

Tiistai 🇫🇮 Þriðjudagur 🇮🇸

My day was alright. I rearranged the shelves in the basement, which took me two hours to complete. I could have spent more time rearranging, but I had to deal with my homework before the class this afternoon. I had to read a story and summarise its content, write about the characters, and describe my impression. Even though the weather forecast predicts warmer days, the presence of autumn is palpable. The nights are much colder than a week ago, and the morning walks with Abby are faster due to the chilly temperature. I quite like the lower temperature and enjoy taking cold showers in the evenings because they refresh my body. However, I miss my summer sandals, shorts, and T-shirts. Walking Abby without having to don my jacket and put on several other layers was much easier. The English class with Charlette was fantastic. The sixty minutes flew by like a bullet train. I feel lucky to learn from her. After the lesson, I prepared my high tea cocoa pancakes. I love pancakes. When I devoure...

Keskiviikko 🇫🇮

We watched the last episode of Bordertown. Now the series is over and won't be available on Netflix anymore. Moreover, they don't plan to shoot another season yet, so chances are we were lucky to have watched the complete three seasons. Anyway, "Vive le Finnish-Hungarian friendship and Uralic languages!" 🇫🇮🇭🇺 After Ági left for the university, I sat down to study. I received four tasks yesterday from Charlette, and I finished the open cloze text and made some notes on the vocabulary part of the lesson. Now ask me anything about "wear out", "hanker for", "wind up", "drop in on", drop in", "cloak", "spectre", "orb", and "mace". Writing a report, explaining the gist of a video to a B1 level student, and writing a letter to an editor of a magazine are left to be completed. When I finished studying, I made some lunch: the menu was pita-bread with Greek yoghurt and veggies - tomato, spr...

Keskiviikko 🇫🇮 Miðvikudagur 🇮🇸

After a not-so-good night's sleep - I had a terrible dream; a lion wanted to chase me down and eat me - I woke up like a log. Little did I know about how chilly the outside temperature was when I took Abby for her morning walk. Both of us hurried back home. It took me two hours to create the lesson plan before my dentist's appointment, but I did it eventually. Since my temporary bridge had fallen off yesterday, I went to the dentist without it. Anyway, I'll have a new bridge next Wednesday if things pan out. I had a lesson with Ági's student this afternoon. I enjoyed the class and hope the students were also content with it. But the afternoon traffic is lethal. On the way home, there were numerous collisions, and I even saw two cars in the ditch. Crazy drivers should stay indoors. The weather is changing. It's still not typical of October, but the first signs of autumn are visible. The foliage is not as fresh green as it used to be during summer, and the nights are ...
