Lesson numero 3 - enlightenment

I knew there was always room for improvement, but I never knew I could learn something new every day about myself and how my brain works. For instance, I understood the importance of tasks in a language book and why one should always deal with what writers had thought of their significance and usefulness. Even the seemingly irritating tasks have a purpose, so completing them is rewarding in many ways. I understood my progress and saw why the pre-planning strategy couldn't work. Learning is not something constant that one could expect daily, rather than something alive and constantly changing. Since I have time on my hand, I can easily use it as I wish; going through a lesson more than once or going back to a previous unit or a specific grammatical structure to master it is the real deal. I must give myself time to process the books I'd decided to study from, and I have to remember that the time I allocate for learning is not a useless activity. I'll give myself as much time as I need and follow the following schedule: I'll do two or three lessons a week and take the weekend for revision a clarification to strengthen everything I have learnt.

The weather was fantastic today. It was sunny, there were no clouds in the sky, and the highest temperature was +18°C. Walking with Abby after lunch in this beautiful weather was lovely. And she behaved at last. She didn't pull the leash as much as she used to, which is considerable progress.

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
