Languid Saturday

The day began with an excellent breakfast and a much-needed coffee after a not-so-great night. Both of us had a terrible night's sleep. We tried to pull ourselves together, but neither of us had the energy to act like adults. Eventually, we decided to pop into the capital to buy a nice bottle of gin for one of our mates at the shop that specializes in liquor. They have a wide selection of beverages, so we felt lost among the racks brimming with bottles. The shop owner gave us some good advice, and in the end, we bought a Japanese gin, Nikka Coffey Gin, which is said to be promising for a connoisseur. But boy, was the traffic horrible in the city? The normally 10-minute drive took us half an hour; that's how terrible the traffic jam was. Anyway, after buying some food at our favourite fast food restaurant - Csirke Csibész - we drove back to devour the nosh. After finishing lunch, I gave Ági a nice foot massage, which was when our afternoon sleep ordeal started. I passed out right after ending the foot massage, and after a 30-minute coma, I woke up like a twice-executed slug. Since then, I haven't been able to recover consciousness, which, usually, is not something that anyone would be surprised about, and I feel like a confused sloth. No wonder I couldn't focus on my English studies today.

I'll make up for my terrible laziness tomorrow. I promise.

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 ...
