Perjantai 🇫🇮 - Péntek 🇭🇺 - Friday 🇬🇧

A busy Friday


Abby's early morning walk was my responsibility today, so when I managed to drag myself out of bed and go down to the living room, I put on the leash around her neck and went for a long walk. After returning home, I had the usual cinnamon pancake breakfast, had a much-needed coffee and a chat with Ági. 

As the coffee started to take effect, I went upstairs and began my homework, which was about writing a letter and keyword transformation. I couldn't finish writing the letter before lunch, but prior to preparing the nosh, I practised my Tai Chi sets.

After lunch, I took Ági to the hair salon and returned home. I washed the dishes, took Abby for her afternoon walk in the summer heat, put on my shorts and met Ági at the hair salon. What can I say? Walking in the scorching heat was both fun and terribly tiring.

I came home alone because Ági had another appointment with her manicurist. At home, I finished my homework, the letter writing and sent it to Ági for revision, plus did a bit of reviewing of the previous lessons. However, due to the intense heat, I couldn't engage in any other activities. 

The weather is beautiful, warm and sunny, only the afternoon storm - only 6 minutes with some rain - made us terribly sleepy. After the walk, Abby lay on the floor, panting, while the humid air left our skin feeling soggy and clammy, reminiscent of the rainforest.

I've been playing with the idea of buying a new bicycle, and I have recently found the perfect options to choose from. Furthermore, the store has a trade-in option, so we might be able to get rid of the old ones. Fingers crossed...

Chillaxing

When I woke up this morning, I knew the day wouldn't be an active one. Nothing sinister happened that would have suggested anything unexpected; it was rather one of those intuitions that depicted how the events of the day would unfold. This gut feeling strengthened when I grabbed Abby's leash and took her for her early morning walk. She was as inactive as I was, and the speed and length of our walk corroborated this theory. We ambled back to the house momentarily. After this painfully short-lived stroll with a surprisingly exhausted canine, I sat in front of the TV, munched my breakfast and slurped the much-needed black nectar in the form of a strong espresso. What a surreal still-life this was. Especially considering how many episodes we have watched from one of the currently watched series. As my system started to absorb the caffeine, switching my wee brain into the first gear, the haze dissipated over today's schedule. Harnessing this ephemeral clear state, I rushed into...

Keskiviikko 🇫🇮 Miðvikudagur 🇮🇸

My new bridge is in my mouth. It took the doc almost an hour to meticulously and precisely fit it in and cement it. I wasn't allowed to eat for three hours, and I still can't chew anything on the left side of my jaw. However, my dental features are ship-shape-and-shiny. Only one tooth is left: they need to replace the old filling. Once it's done, I'll have a Hollywood-type smile. Before the dental care, I went through the lesson plan I'd prepared the other day for today. When I returned home from the dentist, I took Abby for her afternoon walk and drove to Budapest to teach. Before arriving at where I taught, I popped into a store to buy some "kifli" for later and four "Túró Rudi" to appease my rumbling stomach.  After teaching, I hurried back home, grabbed two "kifli", some butter and plum jam, and ate like a king. It was already pitch dark when we returned from our evening walk with Abby. I hate the early dusks. However, summer tries ...

Progress

After a terrible night on the sofa - I'd been awake till 4 a.m. - I woke up like a rag-doll at 6 a.m. when the alarm went off. Ági rushed down to check up on me, and, judging by her look, I must have looked like a sun-dried larva. My stomach is still unable to deal with anything besides bananas, potatoes and vegetable juices. However, I've been thinking of having a massive portion of Wiener Schnitzel for days. I wish I could sink my teeth into that beautiful slice of meat in the picture... We certainly must get a Wiener Schnitzel in Vienna during Ági's scholarship in May. Anyway, despite my dizzy head, I started learning, and I could finish the second and the review 1-2 units today. The CAE book (Straight to Advanced) doesn't seem too challenging; however, I mustn't be preposterous and complacent and I have to focus on completing the CAE exam with flying colours. There were a few unknown idioms and phrasal verbs, which imply that I mustn't forget how to proceed ...
