Northern Sunday

We had a lazy day today. After waking up, devouring breakfast and gulping down the much-needed coffee, we hopped in the car and headed for the city to buy a new pair of shoes for me. I checked the make and the availability of the said item on the Internet. Still, when we got there, they very kindly informed us that our journey was in vain: despite the online stock, they didn't have any in the store. I felt like being in Plonkeristan. We bought some toilet requisites, a sandwich for Ági in KFC, and returned home, then came my turn: I ate some cooked rice with tomato and tuna. Once I finished lunch, I gave Ági a foot massage and watched another two episodes of The Walhalla Murders, an Icelandic series. Icelandic is a beautiful language, and speaking it at the C1 level would be great. One day though.

At 3 o'clock, I took Abby for her afternoon walk, which was a surprisingly short one, and then we went out for a 5.5k walk with Ági because the weather was beautiful. After the hike, we watched another episode of Bordertown, a Finnish series. Finnish is also an appealing language. Its rhythm sounds gorgeous. However, contrary to common belief, we haven't explored any similarities between Finnish and Hungarian. I bought a Finnish language book, and while dipping into it, I couldn't find anything that would have made me remember Hungarian. 

Since the day was almost over by the end of the episode, I decided to work out instead of studying. My head was somewhat dizzy, so it was a good decision. But I'm not concerned about my English studies because Charlette opened a couple of slots in her schedule, and I already booked five lessons. I'm so happy that we will continue this incredible journey called studying English and preparing for sitting a CPE exam.

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 ...
