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.

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 ...
