A day off

I took a day off today. I needed it. After breakfast, I popped in the car and off I drove. I returned to one of my previous homes in Mátyásföld, where I"d lived from 1984-1997. It was a sort of reminiscing of the good old days, but it was also a sort of waving goodbye to the past. It wasn't sentimental but rather pragmatic and symbolic. After driving by the old house and noticing how much it and the whole area had changed, I returned home. On the way home, I stopped off at the SPAR to shop. I had a few sandwiches for lunch and a delicious cup of coffee and took Abby for her afternoon walk, which was alright. The weather was beautiful today; the highest temperature was +20°C. Too bad that tomorrow will bring significant changes, and winter will take over again. Well, this is it for today, but tomorrow I'll start the weekend review when I go through the previous lessons and make some plans for the next week.

There is a street lamp across the field in front of a long block of flats where we walk Abby, which resembles the one that bothers Victor Meldrew in the series 'One foot in the grave'. It is so bright that residents living next to the lamp must roll down their shades. When we spotted it, we laughed hysterically. It made our day. We loved that series, and it was one of the funniest series ever. No wonder we could watch the whole six seasons three times already. Nonetheless, it's a pity how it ended with the death of Mr Meldrew. It was so sad.

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 ...
