A Saturday without studying or revising

We went to check an outlet on the other side of the capital. I wanted to buy a new pair of trousers, but after getting there, I realised I didn't need one, so I didn't want to splash out (a new phrasal verb I learnt today, thanks Ben) any money just because we were there. After knocking about for half an hour, we decided to grab some food at one of our favourite street food places, so off we went to the downtown area of Budapest. As we couldn't find any parking lot, we headed for home. Even though we didn't buy anything and the weather was rather windy, spending some time outside the house was good.

After coming home, we sat in front of the telly with the junk food we'd bought at KFC and, while we were watching another silly episode of Below Deck - a pathetic reality show about the crew on a yacht - we devoured our nosh. I then gave Ági a nice 1-hour 40-minute long foot massage and continued watching that silly series, and then I passed out. These weekend afternoon slumbers are exceptionally dangerous because one can nod off in a split second, but it takes hours to come to. Fortunately, I didn't make that mistake, so I could keep myself in a semi-deep doze.

I couldn't concentrate on my studies today, so I let the day go by without stressing myself with phrasal verbs or other topics. It was just as well, precisely what I needed.

Charlette hasn't replied yet, which makes me wonder why and what could happen. I hope nothing happened to them and they are alright!

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 ...
