Sunnuntai 🇫🇮 - Sonntag 🇦🇹

I woke up with a start at 4:30 a.m. for the light because I forgot to roll down the blinders yesterday before going to bed. When I realised how early it was, I thought I could go back to sleep. I tried very hard but had to give up trying eventually, for my wee mind wouldn't want to shut down. So, I started reading the news, checking the weather, and weaving a devious plan for the rest of the day. Then I took Abby for her morning walk, which we immensely enjoyed. Apart from us, there wasn't a living soul out there, and the long walk did good before breakfast.

After finishing my cinnamon and apricot jam pancakes, I talked to Ági. Then I drove to the craftsman store to buy a pair of gardening gloves, where I met an old classmate from secondary school. It was fun having a chit-chat with him. We weren't the greatest buddies, but we got along quite well.

Upon returning home, I put on my brand-new gloves and brought the cut branches to the front garden. Our neighbour wants to grind and scatter them at the base of the trees up the hill. No comment on this... The rest of the day was so dull, brimmed with binge-watching series that it's not worth mentioning, except the weather: it’s summer over here, the highest temperature was +29°C. Yee-ee-ee-haaaaaaaaaaaaa…

In the afternoon, I pulled myself together and completed the second task of my homework. I had to write a report about why travelling to Hungary by bus or train might be better than coming here by aeroplane. I had 45 minutes to finish it, and I was so happy that I did it under 35 minutes. Well done me!

So, this is it for today...

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

Goodbye 2023 - Hello 2024

2023 has been an interesting year for many reasons. There were ups and downs, good and bad times, laughter and tears, but most importantly, us being together. During the last few years, I've noticed that we can overcome any obstacles together, which is a fantastic and soothing thought. Come 2024, for better or worse, together we will solve everything. May the world be a better place in 2024.

GRAZ - day 1 - 🇦🇹

We are in Graz, as Ági’s linguist conference starts tomorrow. We woke up early in the morning. I had to de-ice the cars, which took an hour. Once I finished the job, Ági took Abby to the dog sitter, and I packed my things for the weekend. Abby didn’t want to stay at the dog-sitter - poor thing - but Ági’s callousness conquered her temper tantrum. Travelling to Austria is always a pleasure. The roads were clean, the traffic was not heavy, and taking the scenic route was a brilliant decision. We could have opted for the Balaton route, but the northern direction seemed a better choice. We stopped at an unknown little village, where the shopping mall was phenomenal. We grabbed a coffee and stretched our legs because sitting in a car for hours is not the best thing in the world. Anyway, we arrived at the hotel - which looks great - safe and sound. The room is small but clean, however, the area is a bit dodgy. It’s close to the main train station, which attracts many people, so it is a busy
