No, Where, Near

My English level is far from C2, let alone being able to sit the CPE exam anytime soon. It's around C1 at best, and it still needs a lot of hard work and study, but I'm ready to burn the midnight candle. On the other hand, Ági's right; I'm a bloody genius for completing the CELTA course with my exceptionally unique English background. However, let's not sit on my laurels but realistically assess all the necessary tasks to sit a CAE and a CPE exam. I'm terribly curious about what John will tell me tomorrow. Btw, he is the next teacher candidate with decades of exam preparation and teaching experience. Still, I hope Charlette is alright and will return to continue our lessons eventually.

Today was a lazy day again, but I don't mind it. I needed some me-time, so after sleeping in (I woke up at 7:30 a.m.), I decided to do some sport after breakfast and browse the internet afterwards. During training, I watched one of my most beloved movies: Cut it short, by Bohumil Hrabal. Right in the middle of the best part of the movie, the lunch was ready, so I hurried down to the kitchen to grab my plum dumplings and devoured them without any second thoughts. I love plum dumplings. Then I gave Ági a nice foot massage, took Abby for her afternoon walk, and repaired the bloody printer, which refused to work. It has some LAN and MAC address issues, so we connected it to Ági's laptop by cable. Finally, it deigned to work.

Anyway, this is it for today, I'm off to read a bit.

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
