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...

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 ...
