A day off

This virus weakened me completely. I still feel under the weather and so powerless that merely taking Abby for her evening walk felt like a heroic struggle. The lack of food wasn't helpful either, I reckon. The three bananas and some cooked potatoes gave me little strength. Anyway, I feel hungry, which is a good sign, so hopefully, I'll get over this nasty virus by tomorrow. Till then, I'll put myself onto a charger during the night to be as right as rain.

Apart from reading an article in English today on aperture.gg about how Earth is running out of time due to the dire side-effects of climate change, I couldn't study because I couldn't concentrate on anything, so I decided to watch a few silly movies in the afternoon. The first film was the exceptionally silly 'Underwater' about deep-sea scientists working on the bottom of the Mariana Trench. There was some catastrophe causing the whole station to collapse, induced by a monster, and the entire plot was about how a couple of heroes survived. The movie resembled the famous 'Alien' film, but underwater. Nothing new under the sun. The other movie was the 'Planet of the Apes' (2001 edition), which we'd seen already but seemed a good choice to rest my eyes at.

Well, the weather has changed, not as much as we know who, and the cold gale-force wind - the strongest gusts reached 114 km/h - cleared the air completely. The temperatures dropped significantly, so the weather was unpleasant today. According to the weather forecast, it gets better gradually, but till then, we must endure the whims of the passing winter reserves for us.

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 ...
