Writing, Walking, Sleeping

After waking up and having a delicious cinnamon pancake breakfast with the much-needed coffee, I finished the short essay. Then we decided to go out for a long walk because the weather was so lovely that it would have been a sin to remain between the walls. We jumped in our hiking boots, and off we went for a 5.5k hike. The temperature was already high when we left the house, but it got even warmer on the way back. Nature is booming. The last few days brought back the summer feeling, but it's a shame that the next few days will be rainy and cold. It's just as well since the soil and the plants need more water to thrive, so we can deal with a few bad-weather days. I prepared lunch, which, nowadays, is the fish-fingers sprinkled with lime, mashed potato and peas. We ate the meal like two hungry wolves. I then gave Ági a foot massage and watched two more episodes of Elementary. Needless to say that after finishing Ági's feet, I lost consciousness and passed out for an hour. That's what long walks do to one's system. Since waking up with a start, I can't clear my head and feel like a terribly confused moth. Anyway, I made and ate pancakes for dinner and came up to my little office - with a view - to finish my essay so I could send it to Charlette for revision. Which I did not long after perusing and changing a couple of things in it. Since my wee head still felt like a huge empty bucket, and I still felt like a sleepy sloth, I decided to take the rest of the day off.

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 ...
