Lauantai 🇫🇮 - Szombat 🇭🇺 - Saturday 🇬🇧

Day off

Little did I know the order and timing in which the day's events would unfold after waking up. When we finished our morning routines - breakfast, walking with Abby, and having the much-needed coffee - we decided to visit one of the bike stores I'd found online the other day. At 8:45 a.m., we headed for Budapest and checked the store, where the guy, who seemed to be the owner, was helpful and guided us through the selection, explaining which bike would be the best choice. However, he seemed a little too convincing and kept pointing out the advantages of the bikes he had in store. The bike I had seen on the internet yesterday wasn't available, leading me to suspect that he wanted to sell off the inventory quickly. Since we made no deal, I was okay with leaving the store and not purchasing anything hastily. There are other brands to check before sacrificing a pretty hefty sum on my next bike - should I decide to ride one.

When we returned home, Ági suggested we hike up to our favourite spot before our friends's visit, so right after jumping into our hiking attire, we set out on our midday walk. The weather was beautiful, warm and sunny, with clear skies, and we didn't encounter anybody on the track. However, on our way home, our friend called to let us know he was in front of our house. We agreed to meet halfway, and then we went out to eat. We went to our favourite restaurant, Christine, and had a delicious lunch there. Ági had salmon with asparagus, and the garnish was mashed potato with beetroot. Our mate had "csülök" with German cabbage and "röstli", and I had beef stew garnished with gnocchi seasoned with sheep-cottage-cheese. The coffee and the dessert at "szamos" was also delicious, so we returned home with full stomachs.

After Ákos left, I gave Ági a foot massage and watched NOAH, a Hollywood movie. It was okay, but it won't be one of my favourite films. Then only the usual happened, a ten-minute slumber for me, some light dinner, Abby's evening walk, and the edition of my blog entry.

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 ...
