Lauantai 🇫🇮 - Samstag 🇦🇹

A boring ordinary middle-class Saturday

I couldn't fall asleep yesterday night until 12 p.m., and I don't know why. I was tired and thought I'd go to bed early, but as the minutes passed, I got more awake instead of falling asleep. No wonder my wake-up was like my make-up. Non-existent, to be precise. Anyway, I took Abby for her early morning walk, then I fed her and myself, grabbed a coffee and had a chit-chat with Ági. When we finished the call, I washed the dishes and decided to cut the hedge in the backyard. I couldn't complete the whole hedgerow because it was like a thick rainforest. Last year, we paid a lot of money for a so-called expert to get it done, but they were a bunch of idiots with no expertise. 11:30 a.m. I had to drop my tools and seek shelter because the sun was scorching, so I went upstairs, drank a bucket of water, showered and prepared lunch - rice with tuna, tomato, and cucumber, seasoned with olive oil, lemon, and dill. I grabbed a coffee after the meal, and boy, was it delicious? The new Bialetti moka pot is fantastic. It only makes half a portion of coffee, but it is so tasty. When I slurped the last drop of liquid black nectar, I thought I'd be as fresh as a daisy. But no, the contrary happened, so I let my weary body sink into the sofa, and my eyelids slowly close. I couldn't sleep due to the extremely loud moan-lower our neighbour was operating, but this couldn't bother Abby, who crawled next to me and fell asleep immediately. When we woke up, I took her for her afternoon walk, which became a snail competition for her. It was so warm outside that she could hardly walk, so we returned home right after she finished her business, and then I thoroughly checked her fur for thorns. I spent the afternoon talking to Ági, cleaning the house, and practising tai chi. Then I took Abby for her evening walk - it wasn't long for the warm weather - returned home, showered, fed Abby, talked with Ági, and started to write in my diary.

"What an exciting life I lead, don't I?"

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 ...
