+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...

Chillaxing

When I woke up this morning, I knew the day wouldn't be an active one. Nothing sinister happened that would have suggested anything unexpected; it was rather one of those intuitions that depicted how the events of the day would unfold. This gut feeling strengthened when I grabbed Abby's leash and took her for her early morning walk. She was as inactive as I was, and the speed and length of our walk corroborated this theory. We ambled back to the house momentarily. After this painfully short-lived stroll with a surprisingly exhausted canine, I sat in front of the TV, munched my breakfast and slurped the much-needed black nectar in the form of a strong espresso. What a surreal still-life this was. Especially considering how many episodes we have watched from one of the currently watched series. As my system started to absorb the caffeine, switching my wee brain into the first gear, the haze dissipated over today's schedule. Harnessing this ephemeral clear state, I rushed into...

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...

Montag 🇦🇹

We are in Austria. After waking up and devouring breakfast, Ági took Abby to the dog daycare, and I packed my things for the journey. We set out at eleven o'clock, washed the car, and hit the road to get here. The highway was busy, so it took us three hours to reach Parndorf, where we had lunch at Nordsee and drank coffee at Tommy Hilfiger. We did some shopping, only bought the necessary goods and left for the hotel. We arrived at the hotel at 4 p.m., checked in, and drove off to another shopping centre to buy other goods we couldn't find in Parndorf. The hotel is quite nice from the inside. However, the facade and the overall look from the outside seem rather outdated; we felt like being in one of Budapest's hotels. Anyway, the staff is alright, the room is clean, and the view is breathtaking. Since tomorrow is a national holiday here, we'll visit a winemaker in Oslip to buy quality wine - Passatutti. We planned to have "Wiener Schnitzel" there and spend the ...
