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!

Keskiviikko 🇫🇮 Miðvikudagur 🇮🇸

My new bridge is in my mouth. It took the doc almost an hour to meticulously and precisely fit it in and cement it. I wasn't allowed to eat for three hours, and I still can't chew anything on the left side of my jaw. However, my dental features are ship-shape-and-shiny. Only one tooth is left: they need to replace the old filling. Once it's done, I'll have a Hollywood-type smile. Before the dental care, I went through the lesson plan I'd prepared the other day for today. When I returned home from the dentist, I took Abby for her afternoon walk and drove to Budapest to teach. Before arriving at where I taught, I popped into a store to buy some "kifli" for later and four "Túró Rudi" to appease my rumbling stomach. After teaching, I hurried back home, grabbed two "kifli", some butter and plum jam, and ate like a king. It was already pitch dark when we returned from our evening walk with Abby. I hate the early dusks. However, summer tries

Goodbye 2023 - Hello 2024

2023 has been an interesting year for many reasons. There were ups and downs, good and bad times, laughter and tears, but most importantly, us being together. During the last few years, I've noticed that we can overcome any obstacles together, which is a fantastic and soothing thought. Come 2024, for better or worse, together we will solve everything. May the world be a better place in 2024.

GRAZ - day 1 - 🇦🇹

We are in Graz, as Ági’s linguist conference starts tomorrow. We woke up early in the morning. I had to de-ice the cars, which took an hour. Once I finished the job, Ági took Abby to the dog sitter, and I packed my things for the weekend. Abby didn’t want to stay at the dog-sitter - poor thing - but Ági’s callousness conquered her temper tantrum. Travelling to Austria is always a pleasure. The roads were clean, the traffic was not heavy, and taking the scenic route was a brilliant decision. We could have opted for the Balaton route, but the northern direction seemed a better choice. We stopped at an unknown little village, where the shopping mall was phenomenal. We grabbed a coffee and stretched our legs because sitting in a car for hours is not the best thing in the world. Anyway, we arrived at the hotel - which looks great - safe and sound. The room is small but clean, however, the area is a bit dodgy. It’s close to the main train station, which attracts many people, so it is a busy
