After the morning movie session, I studied a bit till we popped down to the town to celebrate Ági's habilitation and my CELTA successes with a dinner at Christine, one of the best local restaurants in Szentendre, where the food was absolutely delicious. Ági had salmon with green asparagus and mashed potato with beetroot, and I had a traditional "Marhapörkölt" and gnocchi with sheep's cheese. The muss o'chocolate and the mojito cocktail were the icing on the cake for Ági.
We crawled back home like two miffed penguins. It wasn't easy to climb the hill, but when we returned, I had a cup of coffee and gave Ági a foot massage, followed by a fifteen-minute coma. After waking up, I took Abby for her afternoon walk, and upon return, we watched another episode of Bordertown. There are 13 more episodes to complete until next Wednesday, so we must glue ourselves onto the sofa in front of the TV. And who knows, we might learn some Finnish by the end of the series :) I'm starting to like the Finnish language more and more.
As for my studies: I went through the last unit of the "English Idioms in Use" book, which was about the word "OWN". I bumped into some unknown idioms but was familiar with the rest, so it was an easy lesson today. However, despite the easiness of the unit, I couldn't concentrate properly today for the weather. The capricious weather made us sleepy and tired. No wonder my wee brain couldn't function properly. Nevertheless, we were lucky while walking to and fro because the sun was shining. The signs of an imminent storm, which, fortunately, passed us, made us clear why we felt so exhausted.
