Keskiviikko 🇫🇮 - Mittwoch 🇦🇹

I had a good night's sleep, finally. I took some natural remedies yesterday before going to bed, and it worked. I went to bed at 11 p.m. and woke up at 5 a.m. But was I in an open-eye coma the whole morning? Anyway, I took Abby for her walk and gathered 3000 steps; that's how long the walk was. Then we both had a delicious breakfast - I drank a much-needed coffee - and phoned Ági. She seemed to enjoy her stay in Vienna, although the weather was shite here, too. It’s windy, cold, rainy, and gloomy. A sort of pre-summer weather, innit? Apparently, this is the current weather all over central Europe. But back to the natural order of events. So after finishing the phone, I decided to wash the dishes and clean the toilets, which took an hour's hard labour in my morning. Then I practised some Tai Chi and prepared lunch - nothing fancy, just jasmine rice with tomato, but when I finished devouring the nosh, I grabbed the Linzer we'd bought in Vienna on Monday and scarfed it down with a nice coffee like a hungry wolf. When I finished my food indulgence, I took Abby for her afternoon walk, but neither of us was happy afterwards. She was dirty, so I had to wash her in the shower - she didn't like it - then picking the thorns from her fur took another 20 minutes because the wet fur acted like a huge thorn magnet. When I went up to study, it was already 3 p.m. I couldn't finish my homework, but I managed to clarify the meaning of "abject", "to rivet" as in to attract someone's attention, "scarf down", meaning to eat something quickly and eagerly, and "conceited", which means being too proud of your actions and abilities. I could have done more, and I did, but the TEDx talk that was part of the tasks couldn't grab my attention or interest. Anyway, I worked out before taking Abby for her last walk and talked to Ági finally on the phone this evening. The whole house feels like an empty mansion without her, and we look like two frightened tourists with Abby. Only a few days left...

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 ...
